YOUR PROJECT IS IN SAFE HANDS
Our design practice is informed by a strong ethos of research, through which we immerse ourselves in the context, history, usage, or environment of a project. These learnings directly inform our design approach.
At ARM, innovation means successfully responding to a complex brief with intelligent, tailored solutions. We see our projects through to completion and beyond, because we understand that creativity and design integrity are only valid if the outcomes are solid, reliable and hardworking.

Our work spans the residential, commercial, education, cultural, heritage, public, retail, and interior design realms, with clients including HOTA Gallery, Living Carlton Consortium, University of Melbourne, St. Collins Lane, RMIT University,
Firbank Grammar, Launch Housing, Sydney College of the Arts and State Government of Victoria, to name a few. With decades of industry experience in delivering BTR projects across our team of principals, directors, senior associates, design leads, and interior design specialists, ARM is proud to have earned a reputation as Australia’s leading design firm for BTR developments.
We have successfully delivered Australia’s first and largest BTR development in Smith Collective (Gold Coast), which was followed by a more elevated market offering with Realm Caulfield. Every BTR project we undertake continues to prove how innovative design can improve the quality of life for people across all market levels, creating an essential sense of community and belonging for residents from all walks of life.

“ARM’s vision is to apply marketleading BTR design expertise to achieve a more nuanced and urbanistic approach to apartment development. We are committed to focusing on qualitative appraisals rather than the quantitative ‘set of rules’ from developers. We believe this approach will ultimately result in more cohesive cities and communities.”
Mark’s expertise in concept development, stakeholder consultation and design theory are key to his work in masterplanning and design. He is a contributing writer to many local and international journals on art and design.



“While social housing BTR projects do still value design innovation, they aren’t commercially minded. I think there’s a certain magic in seeing them come together when all stakeholders are invested in the common interest of the community over economic benefit.”
Andrew is one of ARM's leading design architects. His concept design and schematic design work has been central to many of ARM’s most significant projects. He is particularly skilled in using 3D software to explore and develop ideas.
“For a project to be really great, every aspect of every process has to line up, and it’s my job to make that happen. I enjoy interpreting what the client wants and turning it into a viable project. As aproject progresses, we nurture it to develop a character of its own. Experience has shown me that if a design solution is the right one it will be obvious. Ultimately, the best solution will seem like the only one even if there were hundreds to begin with.” nmasterton

“I think the private market will have to become more generous in order to compete with what the BTR and social housing sectors are doing, especially in order to appeal to those who are looking for a home and not just an asset.”

“Ultimately, the quality and robustness of the finish is a primary consideration for BTR clients. If you have a product you are going to occupy long-term, you are looking for every opportunity to extend its lifespan for as long as possible. Taking shortcuts in a BTR project is not in anybody’s best interest.”

" When the client drives the interior direction in a particular way, it’s not always about achieving an outcome that is ‘on trend’. It’s more important to achieve something that reflects the surrounding architectural style of the area."
Andrea is both an architect and an interior designer. She has a sophisticated understanding of how interiors integrate with architecture in new and existing buildings. She balances design and delivery specialties.

“The most likely opportunities for BTR are not necessarily in the heart of the CBD, or even on the outskirts. The most likely opportunities are in transitcity models near new railway stations, retail hubs, and even semi-industrial employment centers.”
Chris has strong design and project-delivery skills. He has focused on multiresidential work, ranging from high-end apartments to affordable housing.
