Project: Hotel Labaris | Khao Yai, Thailand
Architect: SHMA Company Limited, Thailand

During this holiday season, as we rest and recharge, we’re reminded that inspiration can be found anywhere.

Hotel Labaris in Khao Yai exemplifies this, blending seamlessly with nature through its ‘Fairy Forest’ concept inspired by the surrounding forests and mountains.

This project shows how thoughtful design can create meaningful connections with the environment, proving that even while holidaying, there’s always an opportunity to discover and dream.

Kaleida is envisioned as a dynamic, multifaceted workspace that seamlessly integrates diverse business units under one roof.

True to its name, it reflects a vibrant mosaic of distinct enterprises, with each unit enjoying dedicated zones tailored to its needs.

These are interwoven with thoughtfully designed communal spaces, fostering collaboration while celebrating the individuality of each business.

07/01/2025

We are officially back in the office, recharged and ready to create.

Sometimes, true creativity emerges from moments of rest.

As we return from the holidays, we’re embracing the clarity and inspiration that only a well-earned pause can bring.

As the academic year concludes, we’re proud to look back on Wellington—a student accommodation project designed to redefine the living and learning experience for Monash students.

At the heart of Wellington is a commitment to the idea that thoughtful architecture plays a crucial role in fostering success. Designed to balance privacy with connection, calm with energy, and functionality with beauty, the project creates an environment where students can excel both academically and socially.

This moment, as the year transitions, is a reminder of architecture’s enduring impact—not just on individuals, but on communities. Good design supports growth, inspires collaboration, and elevates the everyday.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re reminded of how important it is to design with retail in mind.

One of our favorite projects, the ‘July’ pop-up at Chadstone Shopping Centre, showcased our approach to creating elevated spaces for premium brands. For this luxury luggage label, we crafted an environment that reflected their commitment to quality and style, making every visit a memorable experience.

It’s a perfect example of how design can transform the retail journey, especially as we look forward to the busy season ahead.

We are fast approaching the final stretch at Seafarers and the finish line is in sight!

It’s been an incredible journey bringing this project to life, and we’re almost there.

An excellent lunch with an excellent team.

What a year it has been for us at ODO. None it of it would be possible without this incredible team.

We can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2025!

Many minds, One Design Office.

Meet “More or Less”

A concept developed in house at ODO.

In Australia’s housing scene, affordability is a pressing issue, especially in major cities. The pandemic has driven up prices, straining suburban and rural areas as city dwellers seek affordable, spacious homes. COVID migration reduces rental options in outer regions, increasing rental stress and displacing residents, disrupting communities and social ties.

Our aim is to sustain community bonds throughout life stages, promoting engagement and connection to place. We propose flexible programs anchored by an Innovative Entrepreneur Hub, onsite farming, interactive landscaping, and the Living Village PreFab Warehouse.

Our inspiration for the design concept is based on the life cycle, focusing on sustainability whether this is the individual, the community, the landscape, the farm, the building or the act of construction itself. Flexibility within a framework whereby the architecture adapts and ultimately supports the ever-changing needs of an individual and the community.

We are thrilled to announce the securing of an exciting new project on Phillip Island!

This opportunity allows us to bring our passion for biophilia and modular construction to the forefront, creating a space that truly connects with its natural surroundings.

We are looking forward to applying our knowledge and expertise to deliver a sustainable, innovative, and harmonious design that will enhance both the environment and experience.

Stay tuned for what’s to come.

Project: Yokohama ferry terminal | Japan
Architect: Foreign Office Architects, London

We’re truly inspired by the design of the Yokohama Ferry Terminal by Foreign Office Architects. What could have been just another functional transit hub has become a thriving community space—almost like an urban park.

The open, light-filled spaces and seamless connection to the city invite people to pause, explore, and interact.

It’s a perfect example of how thoughtful architecture can transform everyday infrastructure into something much more meaningful.

We’re excited to continue our successful partnership with Beulah as we work on delivering 15 premium inner-city townhomes at The Wilds.

After several successful collaborations, we remain committed to creating exceptional living spaces that inspire and elevate urban living.

13/11/2024

Sometimes, it’s the untainted perspective—free from the weight of convention—that sparks the most transformative ideas.

By approaching design with a sense of curiosity and openness, we have the freedom to challenge assumptions, explore new possibilities, and create bold, unconventional solutions.

It is in this space of questioning and reinvention that true innovation thrives.

Bond Hawthorn pays homage to Hawthorn’s rich brick-building heritage, with each meticulously placed brick in the facade reflecting the area’s architectural legacy.

This project not only celebrates the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship but also symbolises our commitment to strengthening community bonds, much like the enduring connections between bricks that form a solid structure.

Through this project we honour both the history of the craft and the lasting relationships it fosters.

Reflecting on our transformative journey to Papua New Guinea. At ODO, we firmly believe in the power of community and the profound impact of our endeavours to establish community hubs in PNG. Freely we have received, freely we give. Living a life of privilege, it's all too easy to become absorbed in our own ecosystem. However, stepping beyond our comfort zones, we discover how the seemingly small contributions of our skillsets can create significant and lasting change for these remarkable communities. Our commitment to corporate social responsibility drives us to make a tangible difference in the world. #ODO #onedesignoffice #architecture #interiordesign #residentialdesign #architecturaldesign #melbournearchitecture #architecturedesign
