Austin Maynard Architect (AMA) are interested in life, happiness, fun, family and reward for effort.
Fronted by Mark Austin and Andrew Maynard, AMA is a Melbourne-based firm, widely renowned for their boundless creative energy, particularly in the residential sector. Whether it’s an inner-city house in Melbourne or a theoretical protest shelter designed to draw attention to logging in Tasmania’s Styx Valley Forest, AMA’s designs are at once well conceived, playful and edgy.

Since launching in 2002, the AMA team of six has built up an exciting and diverse portfolio. The practice is not inhibited by building type, but rather navigates residential, retail and commercial arenas and is rich in envelope-pushing conceptual designs.
