The Practice

Classical Architecture
Classical Mega Mansion

Architeria Architects have since 2010 been operating from Melbourne and expanded to include Sydney and Tasmania, and now UAE, contributing to the best architecture in Australia.


Architeria is a Registered architectural practice with Architect’s Registration Board in Victoria, Board of Architects in Tasmania, and New South Wales Architects Registration Board. Architeria is also a member of the
Australian Institute of Architects and one of the most dynamic and prestigious architectural practices in Australia.


Architeria Architects cater for all clients, from investors and stake holders to developers and homeowners as well as governmental bodies and organisations. Our difference is that we do not limit ourselves to delivering one type of projects which our design portfolio
is a testimony of. Our diversity and capability to take on all scales and types of projects is what sets us aside.


Mel Gawi has over the years successfully delivered multi-million-dollar projects in both Melbourne, interstate and overseas, spanning all areas of architecture, where he has both designed and managed large-scale projects such as high-rise towers, apartment buildings, townhouse developments, hospitals, retail and commercial projects, and most importantly, signature high-end luxury homes.


Having designed some of Melbourne’s largest and most notable residential homes, Mel Gawi has become one of the most sought-after architects for Melbourne’s most exclusive homes. His experience in designing, managing, and building large scale homes has made him
a name in the luxury home market.
