Design

Mala is an energetic landscape architecture and urban design practice with offices in Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula and Perth . PhilosophyThe studio places a strong emphasis on creative, site-specific designs, delivered with an exceptional level of quality. We believe good design should be simple, beautiful and intuitive , even when responding to complex site constraints. Above all, we love what we do and enjoy working with equally passionate clients and collaborators on projects that improve the world around us.StudioOur multidisciplinary studio draws from the fields of landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, industrial design and place making. Our practice culture is open, curious and collaborative. For each project, we draw from the expertise of our diverse team and bring in the best specialists from our network of collaborators. ApproachOur design approach is intuitive, thoughtful and subtle. • At the start of each project, we search for the people and processes that drive the site, often finding opportunities beyond the original brief. • Through the design process, we seek simple and elegant gestures that unlock these opportunities. We craft thoughtful, beautiful details to bring these ideas into reality. • We consider succession and evolution from the outset—each project is open-ended and designed to improve with time. We set the initial conditions with a great deal of care but ultimately hand over the next chapters.
