Inbetween Architecture
Inbetween Architecture specialises in residential architecture. Our portfolio includes new builds, renovations, extensions and refurbishments and our hands-on approach involves working closely with clients to develop bespoke designs that satisfy brief and respect budget.
Inspired by Debussy's musings about music being the space between the notes, our approach to architecture is to focus on the experience of the spaces we create, between the walls, floors and ceilings. We strive to design calm and accessible spaces which provide sanctuary from today's busy lifestyles. Our architecture is beautiful to look at but also, and more importantly, it is a joy to inhabit; to live inbetween.

Working with
Inbetween Architecture
Deciding to undertake a renovation or new-build project is a significant decision and knowing where to start can seem overwhelming. Our experienced and flexible approach allows us to assess your specific needs and tailor our services to suit, with a holistic assessment of your available options.
We believe it’s important for us to know you and for you to know us; a solid client-architect relationship is essential in achieving the best possible outcome. Whether you are driven by a specific vision, guided by a firm budget, or are not quite sure what might be possible, our initial meeting and Client Brief Questionnaire help us understand how you live and the goals for your project.
We delight in working with clients who have a long-term interest in their project. Our architecture favours ageing gracefully over following the latest trends and there is nothing we love more than knowing the homes we have built together with our clients are being loved.
The Inbetween Studio
Inbetween Architecture was founded by John Liu in 2012. Steph Richardson joined the team in 2015. Working with a hands-on and collaborative approach, our varied interests and skill-sets draw out the best from design workshops and conversations with our clients. A mutual fascination with the simple pleasures of everyday life informs the 'lived in', non-pretentious architecture which has become a consistent theme of our work.
John and Steph lead a small team - augmenting this team with like-minded specialist consultants when required. We delight in understanding the unique demands of each client and project, and translating that into built form.
The studio is situated in a residential shopping strip, at the heart of Mont Albert North. Situated opposite the bustling Matilda cafe, we thoroughly enjoy being immersed in this friendly and welcoming community. Our growing collection of cardboard models takes pride of place in our window, providing something of interest for those waiting for their coffee!
