Studio MDM is a frontrunner in redefining a fresh perspective on interiors and architecture. Led by experienced architectural designer Mel McKoy, the studio is guided by her extensive international experience in Sydney, Vietnam and New York.


The studio was sparked by a Brisbane renovation that unveiled McKoy's passion for intuitive, client-focused design, building upon more than a decade of industry experience. The result is a studio that is built upon collaboration and creativity, transforming homes and hospitality spaces that reflect lifestyle and character.

The studio fuses colour, layered textures and thoughtful forms to create space built upon a foundation of personality and purpose. Their bespoke renovations, new builds and select commercial and hospitality spaces are elevated and deeply personal, achieve by an approach that prioritises curiosity, creativity and intention.


By allowing each design to be guided by a respect for individuality, sustainability and details, Studio MDM has grown significantly in the last six months, through a steady stream of referrals and diverse project types. Their success is a testament to their hands-on, detail-driven approach, and commitment to delivering environments that are beautifully considered and unique to each client.

Studio MDM's strength in reflecting individuality, balancing function and beauty and showcasing meaningful stories through their designs has set the stage for promising studio growth into the future. Looking ahead, the practice is focused on redefining their processes, delivering new residential builds and exploring a hospitality concept set to expand its creative reach.
