Residential Architecture
Grove Studio is a small, principal-led architecture and interiors practice for residential clients who want a home that is personal, carefully resolved, and properly managed from first conversation through to construction.
We work with people who want to make more of their homes, whether through a renovation, an extension or rethinking the rooms they already have. Many are drawn to the character of an older house but need it to work better for the way they live.
We begin with a conversation about the house, what you hope to change and your thoughts on budget and timing. Our first design stage, Discovery, gives us time to understand the property and develop an initial direction with you. It helps establish what the project could involve before you commit to the stages that follow.
From there, we can develop the architecture and interiors together, prepare the drawings and documentation, and remain involved during construction.
About the Practice
Grove Studio Architecture is a Melbourne based architecture and interior design practice specialising in residential renovations and extensions, with a particular love for heritage homes.
We believe a home should make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. It should bring people together, offer respite from busy days and adapt as life changes. We see lasting usefulness as an important part of sustainability.
We design architecture and interiors together, from the floor plan to the door handles. We care about how things are made, how materials age and how our homes feels to use. We aim to make ordinary moments special, whether that means preparing dinner, sitting in the morning sun or having friends around the table.
Founded by architect Dylan Grove, we take on a small number of projects so clients work directly with Dylan, allowing time to get to know one another and develop ideas together.
Those relationships are a lovely part of the work, and often continue long after clients have moved in.
