ABOUT

For MUIR, architecture is derived from place. We relish the nuances and narrative that results from interrogating the context that surrounds a site and brief.

MUIR takes pride in being inclusive, acknowledging that strong and successful projects are the result of a collaborative relationship between the client, community and the design team.

Craft, care and passion drive the design process.

MUIR’s Director Amy Muir holds degrees in both Interior Design and Architecture from RMIT University ensuring that the practice places equal value on the holistic crafting of interior and external form as one.

Established in 2016, the practice engages with a range of projects including residential, public and institutional briefs bringing a sympathetic and strategic attitude to the varying contexts that they work within. The practice is underpinned by a firm belief in project-based research that investigates the language of memory and place.

MUIR has been recognised through state, national and international awards and the work has been widely published locally and internationally. In 2020 the practice was selected by the Italian periodical Domus as one of the top architecture firms worldwide. As past Victorian President of the Australian Institute of Architects and as a lecturer at RMIT University, Amy is committed to establishing strong links between her teaching and research, architecture practice and public advocacy.
