Aeta Studio
Aeta Studio is a new architecture practice based in Sydney, Australia with projects currently underway within Australia and abroad.
The practice builds upon the extensive international experience of director Alex Matovic and Aeta’s senior Architects in the design and delivery of significant and award winning architecture projects across a broad range of building scales and typologies.
Test, Make, Iterate
Our commitment to design excellence manifests in tailored, site-specific solutions that bind the programmatic requirements of the brief to the cultural and environmental context of the site. We believe in a collaborative and participatory design process which eschews rhetoric and abstract theory in favour of a craft based methodology. Our interest rests fundamentally with the act and craft of making.
Elegant Frugality
We are committed to delivering solutions which are both commercially and environmentally sustainable while never losing sight of the ultimate goal which is to provide inspiring, enduring design solutions that bring delight and richness to the public and private domain.
Alex Matovic
Alex’s focus is on complex and unique briefs, sites, and designs, a role he has naturally progressed throughout his fifteen year career. Alex has previously worked in London, Berlin, Melbourne and Sydney on multi-award winning international projects.
Whilst in London, Alex worked on a number of high profile and environmentally sensitive projects throughout the UK, Europe, and the USA, including the Rolls Royce Manufacturing Plant & Headquarters, the Battersea Power Station Redevelopment, the Zürich Airport A500 Airside Centre, and the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Centre for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.
In 2002 Alex returned to Australia to work on the design and delivery of Southern Cross Railway Station in Melbourne. With his wealth of knowledge, Alex is often asked to present at the Green Building Council. He has presented at events in Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne.
