Profile

Moloney Architects operates across Victoria, with a design studio in Ballarat and a regular meeting space in Melbourne. We design contemporary architecture shaped by place, climate and context, working across coastal, regional and metropolitan settings, including projects interstate.

Registered in Victoria and Queensland, the practice specialises in contemporary residential architecture, alongside selected commercial and cultural projects where a commitment to design integrity and construction quality matters.

Many of our projects involve complex planning and environmental conditions, including coastal landscapes, bushfire-prone sites and heritage overlays.

BAaD Gallery, located within our Ballarat studio, is a curated exhibition space supporting regional designers and artists. Through BAaD, we explore architecture’s relationship with art, material experimentation and cultural discourse.

We deliver architecture shaped by place and built to last.
