ABOUT US
Odyssey Architecture is a multi-disciplinary studio based in Melbourne and led by Michael Nguyen (BA Arch. & Masters of Arch. Melbourne University). Defined by the realisation of places and spaces that are thoughtfully considered and meticulously edited, Odyssey Architecture has been established to engage in a collaborative journey with each client to deliver built outcomes that intuitively responds to the patterns and rituals unique to each.
Through an encapsulation of clean form and refined layouts, alongside a curation of resilient materials which draw from both nature and technological innovation, Odyssey Architecture creates enduring architecture that transcends time and trend, remaining anchored to the conditions particular to each site and the expressions of the those who spend time within them.
By focusing on a carefully selected number of projects at any one time, Odyssey Architecture works closely with clients to form a deep understanding of their expectations and requirements, responding with the delivery of architectural spaces that leverage design to foster emotional connections between those who live, work and congregate within them.
