We believe everyone deserves great places to live, work, grow and flourish.
It's why we help clients & communities of all backgrounds realise Architecture that is designed to nurture and enhance life.
architecture. design. innovation.
Our work is not just about designing good looking buildings, but in finding that
eureka
moment, where sensibility, human-centered design and aspiration, all mesh together, to simply make.sense
We are a Melbourne based Architectural practice, focused on client and end-user understanding, and the design of robust solutions.
Underpinned by trust, communication, design expertise and precision, we involve clients in the architecture process from beginning; helping them see, feel and even experience their project with accuracy and confidence, earlier, faster and long before a single brick is laid.
At one end, we design bespoke homes, holiday villas, renovations, hospitality spaces; and at the other, we also design high-level master plans of sites, civic infrastructure, and help develop community & city shaping facilities. Regardless of size, scale or budget, the projects we work on evolve around the one belief: everyone deserves great places to live, work, grow and flourish. For us, this means through design and thinking that is truly sensible, human and aspiring.
Atelier AHA is founded on the trust and expertise Director Hiranga Goonawardena has established over the last 14 years on significant projects in the Architecture field.
These are just some of the award-winning Architectural practices he has personally worked for and contributed to along the way.

At the time I was starting up my own Physio clinic and moving into a new suite in a recently built building. Hiranga worked with us to design our interior fit out and maximize the use of the space.
It wasn't too complicated but the area was challenging; lean, and some of the building structure cut into our space more than we expected. Hiranga managed to arrange our floor plan so these squeezes were less noticeable and even allowed for the possibility of us expanding into the suite next door in the future.
He spent the time to understand how we were going to work in there; with our treatment equipment, the storage we'd need, and how we would need to move around our patients to work on them. He did a great job with the dimensions we had so we wouldn't feel cramped with them.
We're used to our treatment and consult rooms being a closed box for privacy and lit with fluros, but Hiranga's design has given us natural daylight from the top and achieved the same privacy, with added flexibility for the future of our clinic.
We're very happy. - Daniel Moore, owner of Every Bodies Physiotherapy
Even before meeting with Hiranga, l was completely confident he could help me with my project.
I highly recommend him to anyone considering renovating or building. The time he took to find not just the best solution, but the most functional and beautiful, will be sure to show in the finished house. - Gail Power, Heritage Home Renovation
