Misha De Moyer principle architect at De Moyer Architecture

De Moyer Architecture is a boutique practice based in Double Bay, Sydney, specialising in residential design. We offer a range of services, including alterations, additions, new builds, DA approvals, owner-builds, and heritage projects. What sets us apart is our commitment to creating tailored solutions for each client. We understand that every project brief and timeline  is unique, and we take great care to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. By listening closely to our clients' needs, we ensure our designs are not only functional but also timeless.

The studio was founded by Misha de Moyer, a German-Australian architect with a passion for both small-scale design and craftsmanship. Misha’s journey into architecture began during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where he gained work experience at Harry Seidler & Associates. Inspired by the city’s vibrant architectural landscape, he returned to Sydney in 2003 after completing his studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Misha honed his expertise at reputable firms such as Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, working on major projects like the UNSW Buildings and Surry Hills Library, and Fitzpatrick + Partners, contributing to the iconic One Shelley Street building. With a background in cabinet making, Misha’s passion for detail and craftsmanship led him to focus on residential architecture. His approach prioritizes materiality, sustainability, and longevity, while also giving careful consideration to the site's context and the surrounding streetscape.

At De Moyer Architecture Studio, we listen to our clients' needs. As a collaborative team, we work closely together on every project, with each member bringing a unique background and skill set, offering fresh perspectives that enrich our designs. Above all, we value people—our clients, our team, and the communities we serve.
