MODO (Michael Ong Design Office) is an award winning architecture studio in Melbourne, Australia. We are excited about the qualities found in everyday spaces, and explore concepts to turn the ordinary and banal into rich and expressive.
Our work forms a foundation for narratives to develop and grow within our constructed spaces and objects. While we are fascinated by the intangible, our work is grounded by solid design strategies, experience, rigour, direction and skill.
From large private houses to tiny jewellery pieces, we greet each project with an open mind and innate sense of curiosity. We always collaborate with our clients brief and budget to realize a thoughtful, unique and complete project.
“Michael’s first home shows a real feeling for space and materials. His silo project and in particular his experimental kitchen are indicative of his need to explore design.” – Brian Zulaikha [president of Australian Institute of Architects and director of TZG Architects]
