About Templeton.

Based in the heart of Melbourne, Templeton Architecture is a design-focused architecture practice founded in 2004.  The studio’s work includes architecture and interior design projects, with a particular focus on residential housing.

The essence of our work is found in its timeless restraint and refinement. Our consideration for the unique qualities of each site and our preoccupation of proportion, light, colour, surface and junction combined with a respect for history create rigorously resolved design outcomes.

Although we have a recognizable architectural language, we celebrate that no project, client or site is the same. We love the process of architecture, the varied nature of the tasks involved and the joy found in delivering a quality project.
