Mel is a Principal of the Practice and has led our Interior Design Team for over eleven years. Initially studying Architecture, she transitioned to Interior Design after discovering her passion for the profound impact that well-designed and beautiful spaces can have on individuals, families, and communities.
Graduating with the University Medal in 1996, Mel has been involved in all aspects of interior design, including client liaison, design, documentation, and contract administration for projects of various sizes. After gaining experience in London and Sydney with firms of different scales, she ran her own practice for 15 years. Driven by a desire for collaborative practice and a love for diverse project types, Mel chose to join TKD Architects.
With over 20 years of experience, she is an active communicator who excels at working with stakeholders and clients to successfully deliver exceptional projects.
Interior Design within Architecture
It is a strong belief of mine that the architecture and interior design of any project should be one integrated solution and seamlessly considered from the start of any project. Interior design should be humanistic in approach and focus on a sensory, wellbeing and functional outcomes whilst meeting the brief. The blurred lines between what is architecture and what is interior design is exciting, dynamic and where great design happens. It is where TKD as an architectural company with a strong interior design focus has an advantage and can deliver well considered, holistic projects that are beautiful to experience.
