ABOUT THE STUDIO

Luke Stanley Architects is a purposefully small Ballarat-based studio with a reputation for refined contemporary architecture. We work closely with our clients and local craftspeople to create distinctive and delightful buildings that will endure for generations to come.

We work hard to find the best solutions for our clients’ brief and budget while exceeding expectations. We highly value our client and consultant relationships, and have expertise in all stages of architectural practice.

We have a range of completed projects throughout regional Victoria and New South Wales, as well as the Surf Coast and metropolitan Melbourne.

ABOUT LUKE STANLEY 

Luke is a registered architect with over 20 years of local and international experience in award-winning practices.

Luke began his career working on bespoke residential projects at Studio 101 Architects Geelong, before joining Bates Smart Melbourne in the design team for commercial and multi-residential schemes. This experience prompted a move to the United Kingdom where he worked with Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners on the New York World Trade Centre project, among others.

After relocating to Ballarat in 2011, Luke opened his own studio with the aim of delivering exceptional architecture in a regional environment.
