Your Experience
It has been an honour and a privilege to design our clients' homes.
The testimonials below reference a snapshot into their experiences, both past and present.
"I have known Rob Mills for 10 years now. He designed my home in Toorak. Rob Mills is my architect of choice. He delivers. He thinks. He is innovative. He is intelligent. He is brilliant. He designed my home for me, not for himself. Rob understands people. He has that empathy you always hope an architect has. Rob Mills has that positive attitude towards design that gives you the confidence that what will be delivered will be extraordinary. As I write these words, I am sitting at my kitchen bench, which comfortably holds ten stools. I am looking outside through an expanse of glass facing North and West, covering 15 metres in length with a floor-to-ceiling height of more than four metres. It is both tranquil and inspiring; I could not be anywhere more wonderful. I believe in Rob Mills as an extraordinary architect and a wonderful human being."
"Building a house is a very personal thing. Using the right architect is essential because you are involved in the process for a long time, and need to be comfortable and work well with the architect. The difference between a good house and a great house is very much dependent on the skills, foresight, and interpretation of your likes and dislikes by your architect. We have used Rob Mills to design a home for our family three times. We have also had the misfortune to start to use other architects. So we feel that we are highly qualified to understand what constitutes GREAT ARCHITECTURE. Working with Rob has been a pleasure. He continually surprises us with changes that he feels will improve things, even after we have said we are OK with the design. His attention to detail is outstanding and his interpretation of our needs has been incredible. We can say, without a shadow of doubt, we have loved the experience of working with Rob on the project and love the results. Every day, when we come home, we feel the immense pleasure that great design and beautiful architecture gives you. We are so proud of the house and get great joy when we get compliments from friends and visitors."
"In searching for Melbourne’s most accomplished architectural and interiors practice to collaborate with us on our significant heritage home renovation, we were lucky to be recommended the team at RMA. We commend the team for enhancing what was already a beautiful building, both internally and externally - and for producing an exceptional outcome of functionality and form. My wife and I enjoyed working with the team at RMA and if your goal is a result without compromise, then we would recommend using RMA without hesitation."

"Rob Mills Architect Supremo

He ensures that the final product meets our needs now and into the future. His use of space and proportions is incredible and the feel of the finished product brings great pleasure.

Every time we come home and move through our house we feel good about the design and proportions and really enjoy LIVING in the building created by Rob, the architectural genius"

It has been a pleasure to work with Rob and his talented team on many beautiful projects over the years. I have always appreciated their truly collaborative approach, targeted at obtaining optimal design outcomes, both aesthetic and functional. Though brimming with a wealth of skills and experience, it is the team’s willingness to listen, grow knowledge, and explore alternative approaches that make it a genuinely engaging and rewarding experience. In addition to this process, the resultant environments speak for themselves. Seeing our luminaires offset against grand architectural volumes, through to more intimate spaces with richly layered palettes of materials, makes me both proud and grateful for the opportunity to be involved.

Articolo Studios has had the pleasure of collaborating with Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors (RMA) and their exceptional team for many years. We value this relationship and take immense pride in being specified within their world-class projects. RMA perfectly informs their interior spaces with a sensitive design approach, exploration of artisanal architectural brilliance and sophistication — neutral palettes, layered materiality, and a quiet confidence, aligning with Articolo’s design aesthetic.
Articolo Studios, inspires to create objects of the finest quality, where sophisticated engineering meets an elevated design aesthetic, producing lighting and sculptural furniture pieces that embody our unwavering dedication to artisanal craftsmanship and workmanship. This reverence for an artisanal approach is embedded in everything we do, and it is this shared dedication to quality and design that makes our collaboration with RMA so special.

RC+D have been proud collaborators with Rob Mills Architecture for over 30 years now on what have been
some of Australia's most impressive and high-profile projects in the industry. We feel privileged to be able to collaborate with such a brilliant team of forward thinkers in the design community, who inspire us to bring the magic of bespoke flooring on each project. Very few can operate to the high level that RMA does both from an efficiency and creativity point of view and who make creating custom rugs and carpets together a seamless experience. There are those who do it & those who do it right. RMA are the latter.

Working with Rob has been a rewarding experience. Following my travels, I was eager to re-join RMA in 2024. His extensive knowledge and passion for the field inspire the team to strive for excellence. While his high expectations can be challenging, they motivate us to achieve our best work.
He creates an environment at RMA that encourages growth and creativity, and I’m grateful to be part of such a dynamic team, I feel supported, I can work very efficiently from a different time zone, and I’m inspired by the design and projects I get to work on. I also love the opportunity of delivering autonomously finely designed buildings and facilitating the connection between RMA and the Italian craftsmanship.

It has been a pleasure to watch them come to life through a collaborative team effort.
