Niarska Studio understands that homes are personal.

Based in south-east Melbourne, Australia, we are a boutique architecture and interior design studio founded by Justine Siniarski.

With over a decade of experience working in large architectural practice, Justine’s background spans complex public projects in health, justice, and research sectors, through to finely detailed residential and commercial architecture with intricate structural and heritage requirements. This breadth of experience has shaped a design approach that is deeply considered and human-centered.

Niarska Studio was born from a desire to return to the intimate scale of architecture, to create homes that genuinely reflect the people who live in them. Whether it’s a new build, a small internal renovation, or a new extension to an existing home, each project is approached as an opportunity to enhance your quality of life through thoughtful design.

Working across a range of styles and locations, Niarska Studio brings best practice thinking in passive design and sustainability, alongside a strong focus on functionality, proportion and materiality. We favour simple and honest materials with beautifully resolved detailing, creating spaces that feel grounded and timeless.

Let’s talk about budget

As your architect, we begin by listening, carefully and respectfully, to understand your vision, goals and priorities. From there, we work collaboratively to refine these ideas into a considered and achievable outcome, grounded in clarity around scope and budget. This process is guided by research and strategic planning, beginning with our Curated Home Review, which lays the foundation for a well-informed and confident project journey.
