Katz Architecture delivers award-winning Architecture throughout Australia from our Melbourne based studio. We specialise in thoughtful, people focused solutions that enhance every site’s unique opportunities.
Defining modern Australia through thoughtful, people-focused design
Founded in 2011 by Fellow of the AIA Paul Katz
We are in the business of building communities where people thrive. Over the past 14 years, our team have delivered more than a billion dollars’ worth of projects across education, sport, commercial and community sectors.
What makes us different is our Uniting Through Design process: we bring diverse user groups together, align their visions, and turn complex needs into facilities that don’t just work, but inspire. Clients come to us because they want projects delivered on time, on budget, and with outcomes that exceed expectations, whether that’s improved learning in schools, stronger community connection through sport, or safer, more sustainable public spaces.
At the end of the day, we don’t just design buildings, we deliver confidence, reduce risk, and create places that transform lives.

“Council is delighted not only with the works as constructed, but with the care and attention during all stages of the project journey.”
“Their [Katz Architecture’s] design abilities were well complimented with necessary technical skills, and they coordinated works with consultants and builder throughout the process. Council is delighted not only with the works as constructed, but with the care and attention during all stages of the project journey.
We therefore highly recommend KATZ and would be delighted to provide any further details.”
“The new office is great and I find it amazing as to how a physical space impacts the work experience!”
“The new office is great and I find it amazing as to how a physical space impacts the work experience! It is truly remarkable. I feel the whole culture of our workplace has changed in a really positive way.”
“To say Katz Architecture exceeded our expectations is an understatement, the home exudes style...”
“To say Katz Architecture exceeded our expectations is an understatement, the home exudes style, whilst not detracting from it’s primary role as a home, the juxtaposition of old to new is a wonderful highlight, but the use of skylights and light courts to create natural light and cooling is exceptional.”
“We were thrilled with Paul and his team throughout the process.”
“We were thrilled with Paul and his team throughout the process. They communicated well, listened to our thoughts and oversaw the contruction…throughout the process nothing was too much of an issue and we have received terrific feedback as a result of the capital works.”
“A great team collaboration between Building Engineering, Katz Architecture, L+R Engineers...”
“A great team collaboration between Building Engineering, Katz Architecture, L+R Engineers…and all hardworking Council officers and internal departments, shop traders and local community to bring this project on time and under budget. A great effort from all involved!”
“The pavilion has an immediate presence within the park setting...”
“Architecturally, articulated design elements, the sweeping roof form and cladding configuration represents the dynamics of sport, a sense of motion and excitement. The pavilion has an immediate presence within the park setting. The striking roof form, screen and cantilevered covered area is centrally located. The multipurpose room opens onto the pavement and ovals beyond which provides a key focal point, an area for a gathering in the shade, encouraging park users to stay and utilise the pavilion amenities.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does BIM technology reduce project risks?
Our state-of-the-art Building Information Modelling creates detailed 3D visualisations and coordinates all building systems before construction. This identifies potential issues early, minimises costly changes and ensures smooth project delivery.
How does Director attention throughout all stages benefit clients?
You receive consistent vision, immediate decision-making and personalised service. Paul Katz’s involvement ensures your project maintains design integrity while addressing your specific needs at every stage.
Do you handle planning and building approvals?
Yes. We prepare all drawings and reports, lodge the application, and liaise with authorities on your behalf—keeping you informed at every milestone.
Can you work with our preferred builder or consultants?
Absolutely. We often collaborate with client‑nominated teams and can recommend trusted specialists if you need them. The key is open communication and clear roles.
When should we involve an architect?
The earlier the better—ideally as soon as you’re considering a site or exploring project options. Early input lets us test feasibility, spot planning issues, and shape a brief that saves time and money later.
How does the firm ensure designs meet regulatory standards?
Our meticulous documentation process and extensive sector experience ensure full compliance. We maintain close relationships with regulatory bodies and stay current with all building codes and standards.
How do you keep projects on budget?
We set a cost benchmark early, update it at each design stage, and collaborate closely with quantity surveyors and builders. Detailed documentation and rigorous tender reviews minimise surprises on site.
How do you approach sustainability?
As an Accredited Green Star Professional, we integrate passive design, low‑carbon materials and energy modelling from day one. We target practical, lifecycle‑based solutions rather than “greenwashing” add‑ons.
