BENT Architecture

BENT Architecture is an innovative design practice based in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. The practice is led by Directors Paul and Merran Porjazoski.

Since its establishment in 2003, BENT Architecture has completed a diverse range of projects that have been locally and internationally awarded, published and exhibited. The practice has won two open design competitions ('Growing Up' Green Roof and 'Living Places Suburban Revival' public housing) and works across residential design, environmentally sustainable design, low-cost social and affordable housing, commercial and institutional refurbishments, and green roof design.

The creation of environmentally and socially sustainable built environments is of critical importance to BENT Architecture. Its work spans education, commercial, community and housing projects across architecture, interior design, urban and landscape design, and is process-driven, establishing dialogues between context, programme and people to create responsive built environments attuned to their site.
