Expertise

MIKA Studios is a design oriented architecture and interiors practice that focuses on providing unique and high quality architectural outcomes for our clients.

Our practice is committed to responding the unique set of challenges and possibilities that are presented to us, brief by brief. We are motivated by the opportunity to enquire and investigate, and through our rigorous and imaginative design process, we strive to produce a simple and clear design response to address complex or intricate conditions.

Our studio undertakes projects throughout all phases of building procurement. Additionally, we offer single service consultations and are unbounded by discipline – whether we are involved in the master planning of a site or the design and manufacture of bespoke furniture and lighting, we pride ourselves on a holistic approach firmly grounded on a client’s brief. We collaborate with a range of consultants including joiners, graphic designers and curators in achieving comprehensive and cohesive outcomes.
