About Us

What we do

At HATZ, we believe the future isn't something that happens to us, it's something we actively shape through the work we do today.

Every building we design is a vote for the kind of world we believe is possible: one where great architecture enables great minds, where inspired spaces create inspired people, and where the built environment genuinely makes life better.

Since 2004, HATZ has been a Melbourne-based architectural practice delivering 200+ built projects across 20 years of experience.

We're a multi-disciplinary studio offering architecture, interior design, landscape design and project management.

But it's not our services that set us apart, it's our commitment to creating spaces that genuinely matter.

We've deliberately focused our expertise in three sectors where architecture profoundly shapes human experience:

Tertiary Education, where we design spaces for tomorrow's leaders to discover their potential

Luxury Residences, where we create homes that don't simply house your lifestyle but elevate it

Healthcare & Pharmaceutical, where we design facilities where healing happens faster and care teams can do their best work.

Our studio is deliberately diverse combining seasoned expertise with fresh perspectives.

We stay engaged throughout every stage of your project, providing tailored solutions because each project is unique.

Our Philosophy

Our mission

Delivering Client Success by Creating Memorable Buildings through Inspired People.

Three core values guide everything we do

Design Excellence

We produce memorable spaces that push boundaries whilst remaining practical, functional and beautifully resolved.

We're engaged with contemporary design trends, emerging technologies and environmental sustainability, but we never sacrifice functionality for aesthetic ambition.

Our designs work flawlessly on day one and continue performing for decades.

Client Success

We achieve outcomes that enhance our clients' success.

Through close collaboration, we understand not just your brief but your ambitions.

Then we create spaces that don't simply house those ambitions but amplify them.

Your success defines our success.

Inspired People

We strengthen capabilities to develop the next generation of architectural leaders.

We invest in our people continuously because we believe inspired people create inspiring work.
