We love talking about architecture, design and sustainability.

Environment

DiMase Architects are curious people, open minded, and interested in making and doing architecture. We invite you to explore our projects, studio profile and insights.

We are a Fitzroy North-based architecture and design studio founded by Antony DiMase. Our connection to the suburb goes back some time. Antony’s father ran a real estate business at our current location from the early 1980s until his retirement, after which the current business was established.

Today, we deliver practical and well considered projects for our clients, creating healthy restorative places in which to live and work. We set a high standard of service delivery and this sits at the core of our work.

Our Vibe

Discovery

It is the feeling of natural light, the ease with which spaces flow, the views and the moments that are most apparent and appreciated.

While we consider all the relevant details, co-ordinate consultants and fuss over all sorts of issues as they arise – it is always the feeling of cohesion, connection and flow that is most apparent in our completed projects.

We do not lose sight of what’s important.

Our team recognise that a successful project is not a series of intricate details or design features but rather it is the space and volumes that we create that connect people their surroundings. The work that goes into creating functional spaces leads to intuitive and seamless movement. This means that the things that are special to you – be it a vase, painting or piece of furniture piece – have their place. You are centre stage in an architectural backdrop.

Seeing architecture projects being realised is special, potentially life changing and life affirming. It’s about legacy, contribution and making a difference by making our built environment responsive to the challenges of our times. By working together, every project can be a step in the right direction.

Keeping it Simple

Connection

Your project is not our billboard. Think of a room or space where the views and connection to nature. Think of spaces that work efficiently and effectively so that the space itself supports movement. Think of the connection and layout of rooms that feel intuitive to move through where the logic of the layout feels seamless and obvious. Think of spaces to rest where the colours, textures and tones are restorative and playful. And think of architecture that integrates interior design, architecture and landscape into a journey of experience and discovery. 

Restrained, enduring and purposeful architecture – architecture that is a stage for your experiences. 

That’s our work. Quiet luxury that needs no explanation.

  • Gezellig in Dutch
  • Mindfulness in English

These concepts come from Antony’s interest in philosophy, daylight design and a love of nature. At its best architecture is the elegance of well designed spaces that puts you in touch with the environment and celebrates one’s own personal routine and unique place in the world.

In a self-conscious and hyper-connected world, creating spaces and stories where the senses can connect to the natural environment is what matters more than ever.
