Quotes
Austin Maynard Architects are renowned for their playful designs and crisp detailing that extracts the maximum potential from their projects.
Jake Taylor, Green Magazine
There is a lot of conventional development in Melbourne, with conventional garages and fancy finishes. But there is room for something different, room for firms like Austin Maynard to change the way we design housing. Architects and developers everywhere should pay attention.
Lloyd Alter, Carbon Upfront.
Austin Maynard Architects is unapologetic in standing for something: caring about the social dimension of architecture including community connection, sustainability and mental health.
Timothy Alouani-Roby, Habitus Living
Andrew and Mark don’t doggedly pursue timeless minimalism, they don’t dabble with a world-weary irony, and they don’t shape their design work around perfectly styled Instagram “moments.” What they do instead is create playful, holistic architecture, in the best sense.
Marcus Baumgart, Houses Magazine
There are always smiles in Austin Maynard projects. There is always something twisted and different, and there is always something to learn.
Lloyd Alter, Treehugger
The ability to execute architecture that skirts the line between innovation and experimentalism so finely is born of two distinct yet complementary design minds at play.
Gemma Savio, Houses Magazine
The bold and delightfully eclectic work of Austin Maynard Architects is threaded with a fervent commitment to resolve design problems with civic mindedness and creativity.
Katelin Butler, AA Magazine
The word ‘unique’ is regularly bandied about in the art and design worlds, but in the case of Austin Maynard Architects’ projects, this term always applies.
Amelia Barnes, The Design files
(Austin Maynard Architects) homes not only capture the clients’ brief but push the boundaries of design, delivering much more than what was expected.

What makes Austin Maynard so special is their ability to create amazing solutions on restricted plots.

“A national design industry all on his own, Andrew Maynard is always provocative and sometimes very funny with both his real projects and his expression of entertaining ideas.”

"Environmental issues and responsible, intelligent solutions are trademarks of his work, utilising clever concepts for a dynamic output. Clients come to Maynard when they’re seeking a unique and challenging solution, be it in the residential, retail, hospitality or commercial arena."
Alaana Fitzpatrick
DQ magazine
"Austin Maynard Architects have carved a niche for themselves in their home country of Australia. The media savvy and technologically aware office is unafraid of mixing big conceptual designs with beautifully conceived small-scale residential works"
Wallpaper*
“Maynard is both optimistic as well as proactive and provocative and uses concepts as the main generator of his architectural practice. Known more for his paper architecture like the Metabolist and Archigram group of the 1960’s, he is equally effective in using the means of popular art practices to get his message across”
Dr. Harpreet Mand
School of Architecture
Newcastle University
"Austin Maynard's work offers a flash of illumination toward the next generation of smart, compact, elegant home design. Each project begs a long, awe-inspired look and makes the future look like a very nice place to live."
Inhabitat
"Maynard is one of a small group of exciting, young and creatively boundless Australian architects who are set to change the face of Melbourne. These gifted, edgy, clued-up and media-savvy thirty-somethings are all producing internationally recognised work at a time when architecture has never been so cool..."
Gina Morris
The AGE
“One of Australia’s most exciting young architects”
Dwell
“His concepts include a man-eating robot, a bicycle made of plywood and “Poop House” - a structure made from human excrement and food. Images of the archetypal mad scientist spring to mind, but architect Andrew Maynard, like his designs, comes across as measured and eloquent.
The AGE melbourne magazine

“This guy's stuff just blows my mind. Every time I look at his site I get a boost. He has some of the funkiest designs. Maynard's firm is hot as the sun right now.”
future house now
“Since establishing his practice in 2002, Melbourne architect Andrew Maynard (W*90 Architects’ Directory) has been building a solid reputation for his innovative renovations. Usually built on a modest budget and scale, Maynard’s designs are always full of surprises and added bonuses to maximise every site.”
Wallpaper*
“Maynard’s work explains how the grand idea can be achieved in such a small space. It also proves that constraints can bring out the best in architects. Tight constraints of budget, site and regulations demand a higher level of invention to realize the best. “
Peter Hyatt
"Australian Architect Andrew Maynard's work is marked by fine detailing, a bit of whimsy, and big graphic overtunes allowing his portfolio to be less about style & more about character of spaces. The buildings seem more like a box of old treasures, more than anything else, telling stories on the joy of making architecture."
architechnophilia
"Maynard’s work runs the gamut from residential to commercial buildings to conceptual designs. His new concepts in design, including a Japanese library, an arts precinct, and protest shelters, have won him international attention."
Randi Greenberg
ARCHITECTURAL RECORD
"The firm Austin Maynard Architects is garnering worldwide attention for both floaty concepts and dirty reality."
Leigh Christy
Architecture week
"Andrew Maynard, one of Australia's brightest young architects, intends to make a difference. He will do this on his own terms."
Pol Oxygen
"In the diverse collection of projects in Maynard's portfolio, we get a picture of an architect whose ideals run as deeply as his talent for good design."
Inhabitat
"Abandon your preconceptions of the architect as a quiet, bespeckled intellectual who cares more about sharp Italian suits and clean concrete lines than about saving trees. Here comes a new breed of architectural environmental activism in rising star Andrew Maynard"
Inhabitat
"It is exciting to say that despite the acclaim and attention that Maynard regularly receives, nothing has altered his level-headed perspective or tongue-in-cheek drive towards world domination."
Alaana Fitzpatrick
SDQ magazine
"We’re both blown away by your design, and the more we look, the more there is to be excited about! We’re really impressed with how you’ve incorporated the most important parts of our brief into the design work to come up with something that is creative, functional, realistic, unique and bloody impressive!."
Ilma Grove clients
"He's about to leap into the big time. Melbourne architect Andrew Maynard's goal is nothing short of "complete tyrannical world domination". He might be joking, but this young powerhouse of talent may indeed be capable of such a feat."
Pol Oxygen
from the article ROCKET MAN
by Anne Latreille
"Australian architect Andrew Maynard has been getting a lot of attention recently - and for good reason. The prolific architect's portfolio is peppered with amazingly clever designs - both built and unbuilt."
Inhabitat
“What strikes me about Andrew is that his practice is very much ideas-based, and I think it’s important to create for ideas and experimentation. He uses a diversity of materials, but not in an evangelistic way. So many of our capabilities are going offshore and it’s vital that we retain ingenious designers such as Andrew.”
Kathy Demos
Director of the National Design Centre
