Michael Welgus,

Founder of Studio Welgus, Michael's experience ranges across multiple typologies with a focus on private and multi residential developments. ⁠
⁠
With a background in both Interior Architecture and Building Design, Michael’s key focus within projects is establishing connections with our surrounding environments. In constant pursuit of restraint, Michael takes an active approach to ensure that the studios work is blinkered from short term industry trends, developing solutions that stems from a narrative derived organically from architecture or place. ⁠
⁠
As former Principal of Interior Design for award winning Melbourne based studio Finnis Architects, Michael has successfully delivered a range of projects from concept inception to onsite delivery. ⁠

“Interiors to me go beyond the aesthetic. I begin each project by curating a highly considered set of spatial conditions, responding to program, light, aspect and amenity. I aspire to a lasting cohesion between Architecture and Interior design to deliver projects that respond to our environments, with a clear sense of place, narrative and timeless solutions, blinkered from the distraction of short term industry trends. I believe the best outcomes are a collaboration between client and designer, together developing spaces that facilitate and heighten our daily rituals of life: work, rest and play”
