Taylor Knights are Melbourne based architects and interior designers specialising in highly refined and sensitive residential and commercial design. Our projects span metropolitan and rural Victoria.
We’re driven by detail
|
In everything we do, we strive to achieve the perfect balance of architectural experience alongside enduring enjoyment, enthusiasm and pride in the spaces we create. Through careful management of flow, light and texture, we endeavour to enrich the architectural promenade — the journey through a built space — by heightening the sensory experience.
There are no preconceived formulas, no set styles, and no preference for materials. Our work seeks to understand, embrace and celebrate the unique potential of every project on an individual level. The process is as unique as the outcome. We'll work with you to plan, understand, brief and construct. It's a collaborative approach that allows you to be as involved as you need to be. So together we can create something truly special, something to call your own.
A collaborative studio environment allows the very best of strengths to be employed across all areas of the business, as well as through all stages of a project. We enjoy variety, and take great pleasure in working across residential projects from private homes to large-scale developments, as well as projects in the public and commercial sector.

What our clients say
|
“We engaged Taylor Knights to update our 1940s house in Ascot Vale. From our first design and walk thru meeting with James and Peter, it was clear that we’d made the right decision to engage them. They were creative, energetic and passionate about delivering to our brief. Injecting creative and thoughtful ideas into each concept which were delivered with clear conversation and beautiful meaningful drawings.
With a heritage overlay they engaged council early and ensured they had an understanding of the project, which assisted in efficient council approvals. Throughout the build James was engaged and assisted to ensure all details and questions were attended to. His knowledge of interiors and exteriors and current products and finishes is excellent. He is absolutely an expert in his craft!
We are so happy with our finished home. It is now open, light, beautifully detailed, maintained heritage features, retained garden and excellent lighting choices. We and our boys are thrilled with our family home. Thanks team!”
