NM Architecture is a Melbourne building design company led by Nino Muratovski, Registered Building Designer with 20+ years’ experience.
Know what your site can do before you buy or build. Our consultation gives you a written site investigation assessment and a preliminary building envelope drawing, so you can decide with confidence.
CONSULTATION
Custom homes, extensions, dual occupancies and commercial buildings, designed from first sketch to build-ready documentation. 600+ projects delivered, with realistic 3D views so you see your design before it is built.
BUILDING DESIGN
Commercial, retail and hospitality fit-outs designed around how your business works, with considered layouts, materials and detailing. Residential interior packages are also available.
INTERIOR DESIGN
From two lots to multi-unit developments, we design the development and work with your land surveyor on the subdivision, from site investigation to separate titles.
LAND SUBDIVISIONS
Planning permits, building permits, and report and consent applications. We prepare the drawings and documents and manage the application with council or the building surveyor.
PERMITS & APPROVALS
For projects we design, we can manage the build from tender to handover: builder quotes, the contract, and independent inspections at each stage before payment.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
See your project before it is built. Realistic 3D views, 3D floor plans, walk-throughs and 360° virtual reality tours, plus BIM models that help resolve design issues before construction.

A free first conversation about your goals. If you need a detailed answer, a paid site investigation assessment and building envelope show what your site allows before design starts.
Concept design and design development: sketch plans and elevations presented for your approval, refined with your input and reviewed in realistic 3D.
Where a permit is required, we prepare and lodge the planning application, answer council's requests and manage it through to a decision.
Once the plans are endorsed, we finalise the design and prepare coordinated working drawings with the engineers and energy rater, ready for the building permit.
If it is included in your package, we tender to builders, help with the contract and manage the build to handover, with independent inspections at each stage before payment.
We're a Melbourne building design practice, and we have proudly delivered more than 600 projects across Victoria.
Every project starts by listening to our clients and studying the site, and we sweat the details until the design is right. We design buildings to last, not to follow a trend.
WHO WE ARE
To design buildings that are right for their clients, right for their site and right for their community, through honest advice and full transparency at every stage.
OUR MISSION
One clear focus: great design. To help make transparency the standard in Victorian building design, and to leave behind buildings people are still proud of decades from now.
OUR VISION
Real reviews from real clients on Google

A short first conversation about your project is free. The site investigation assessment and building envelope drawing are a paid service. If you go ahead with us for the full design, the fee can be deducted from the design fee.
In Victoria, both produce plans and specifications for building projects, and a Registered Building Designer (Architectural) can work on all classes of buildings. The differences are the title, the law, the regulator and the education pathway, not the work itself. Read our full guide →
