Client testimonials

We commissioned RMA to undertake the CAA and CA for our generational family home in Toorak. Working with Rob and the team was an absolute pleasure—we loved seeing our vision come to life. They delivered a design that was perfectly aligned with our taste, listened carefully to our thoughts, and consistently incorporated them into the final outcome.

The design was bespoke, original, and truly inspiring. Their expertise in interiors was essential in bringing the house to life. They also implemented effective cost control measures, keeping us informed on costs throughout the project, starting from the very first weeks.

The project was delivered efficiently, and we never had to wonder whether the team was on top of things. The studio’s diverse experience and well-rounded approach ensured every aspect of the project was thoughtfully considered. Their experience with new builds was critical, and we struggled to find an architect who met our standards. RMA’s expertise in spatial planning, floor layouts, and proportions—including ceiling heights—was invaluable.

The architecture and interiors flow seamlessly, and every detail makes perfect sense. Overall, we are extremely happy with the design and delivery of the project. The experience was seamless and enjoyable, and we would highly recommend RMA to anyone undertaking a major new build.

We had the confidence to purchase this land with an RMA design already approved through council, as we have experienced firsthand a Rob Mills home, with our parents living in one in Melbourne. We have always admired the design, amenity, and lifestyle that a Rob Mills home offers, and knew we could create something truly special for our own generational family home.

We commissioned RMA to deliver the full turnkey service, including CAA, CA, and FFE, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. While we remain closely involved in the project, we feel guided and supported by the trusted hand of the RMA team. Their communication tools and processes give us complete confidence in every decision being made.

The process to date has been seamless, efficient, and well-structured. RMA guided us in engaging an experienced builder, and their highly detailed 100% documentation enabled us to secure a competitive fixed-price contract and a quick, efficient construction timeline. We are incredibly excited to see the project come to life as it progresses each day, and the journey so far has been both enjoyable, seamless, and efficient.

We are currently working with Rob and the team at RMA on our generational family home in Toorak, and the experience has been great from the outset. From day one, they have shown a strong commitment to both us and our project, guiding us through each stage with clarity and care. They have been instrumental in helping us understand the decisions we are making, ensuring we feel informed and confident throughout the process.

As we split our time between China and Melbourne, they have been accommodating in coordinating meetings across time zones and maintaining seamless communication, allowing the project to progress efficiently without disruption. RMA have delivered thoughtful, well-considered designs with a strong underlying structure, giving us great confidence as we move forward.

We are now in a position to commence construction within 10 months of commissioning them, which is well above industry standard. Importantly, this efficiency has not come at the expense of design quality. We are extremely pleased with the process to date and look forward to bringing the project to life.

Working with Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors has been both inspiring and deeply rewarding. From our very first phone call to the groundbreaking day at our new home, Rob and his team have been professional, warm, and genuinely attentive to our needs and dreams. They listened closely, inviting collaboration at every step, and thoughtfully wove our family’s personality into the design.

Their commitment to excellence extends well beyond just the design phase through their experience, industry connections, and unwavering professionalism, Rob and his team brought our vision to life with flawless execution across all stakeholders. The result is a beautiful and highly functional home that we are proud to live in and keep in our family for generations. We couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors to anyone seeking remarkable design and a truly enjoyable experience.

My wife and I are pleased to endorse Rob Mills and his team. They have designed and delivered an exceptional residence, and one that we are now proud to call home. Having worked as a professional builder for many years, I know all too well the pressures of collaborating on properties that stand apart. Rob and his team approached the brief we gave him-to design for a sloped site among lush gardens-with vision, professionalism, and dedication.

The result speaks for itself. It is a remarkable home, cleverly positioned to enjoy views among the treetops, filled with sunlight, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. Everyone who has visited us has commented on its sense of light, proportion, space, and connection to the gardens. What may not be as visible is the process behind the scenes. Working with RMA was a highly respectful and productive experience. As both the client and builder, I was able to challenge and support Rob and his team as our shared vision for the home evolved. Rob’s understanding of elements beyond traditional architecture and interior design-such as native landscaping and the selection of artworks-was invaluable.

With this knowledge, Rob and his team delivered a comprehensive service, creating a home where everything works together seamlessly. We first experienced the Rob Mills difference when RMA designed our son’s home, and like us, he found the experience to be first-class. Although we are private people, we are happy to share our appreciation for the skill, care, and dedication of Rob Mills. As noted, I’m a builder. I know the work of a master when I see it, and I am thrilled to experience it every day in our home.

Bronwyn and I retained Rob Mills to design a contemporary home to take advantage of views of the Melbourne city skyline. The site was particularly problematic due to it being subject to a heritage and flora protection zone. Rob and his team managed the planning process with particular skill such that we achieved our objective of having a contemporary home amongst established gardens in a heritage area.

The superior design skills which Rob has, resulted in a design which has a sophisticated simple aesthetic. Our friends have aptly described the house as having a sculptural quality. Rob and his team also managed the tender process and guided us to appoint a superb builder who delivered a high quality build on time and on budget.

Our whole experience from start to finish with Rob and his team was a delight. I could not recommend Rob and his team more highly and would be pleased to be contacted to discuss.

These are a few words to recommend Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors as a practice of choice. My wife and I interviewed several of Sydney’s leading architects to design our forever family home in Vaucluse. Rob Mills was by far the most impressive.

We already knew of his strong track record in Melbourne and his growing reputation in Sydney. What impressed us the most, however, was his knowledge of Vaucluse and his level of personal involvement. Rob’s active participation in progressing our design to a successful DA stage was refreshing and much appreciated.

The word I would use to describe Rob is respectful. He is respectful of us and our needs as clients; he will respectfully steer us in the right direction; he is respectful of the planning process; he is also extremely respectful of our new neighbours. Rob took the time to speak with them personally, walk them through the designs, and listen to their opinions.

Being so respectful of the neighbourhood – particularly one as tightknit and traditional as Vaucluse – has undoubtedly also impressed our local council. The DA for our home has come through without an issue. We are now excited to see the design come to life. In fact, the entire RMA team is respectful too, embodying a can-do attitude. Their commitment to excellence and proactive approach ensures that every project is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. It has always been a pleasure working with everyone at RMA.

Rob explains concepts well, he pays attention, and he understands how to design for specific pieces of land. In short, you are in good hands with RMA. The results speak for themselves.

I have no hesitation recommending Rob Mills Architecture + Interiors. My wife, Rosie, and I were looking to renovate our house in Kew as our forever home. As we had young children with more on the way, we wanted a home that would be timeless, which would suit our growing family, and which would suit our personalities.

We met with several architects, and what impressed us most about Rob was his personal approach. He took the time to understand how we wanted to live; then he designed our home from there. We were part of every decision along the way, from the first sketches. The entire process was very collaborative and empowering.

Our house dates back to the 1890s. We retained around 30% of the original home and created new areas to suit the modern lifestyle of our family. Rob fully appreciated this approach, and also profoundly respected the heritage of the area. One area where I believe RMA stands apart is its holistic, end-to-end approach. With each new part of the process, such as the interior design and the selection of FF&E, Rob brought trusted specialists into the team. In addition, Rob continued to provide direction and insight at every stage, which we greatly appreciated. As we moved into construction, this was a natural extension of the design. RMA ran the tender for us, and they were instrumental in selecting the right team to build our new home. Even now – just a few weeks out from us moving in – Rob has been on-site to ensure our vision is realised.

The RMA team embodies the same dedication and approachable style as Rob himself. Communication is seamless, friendly, and consistent, making the process enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a workplace where creativity thrives, and where every interaction feels collaborative and genuinely supportive. We had absolute trust in RMA from day one. It’s been a rewarding journey, and we’re extremely proud of the result. Perhaps the greatest sign I can give of our satisfaction is that we have re-engaged Rob to design our beach house.

Once again, he’s taken the time to understand how we live at the beach and how the home will interact with the coastal environment. It’s a different style of living and a different mindset – but we have every confidence RMA will deliver.

For my family’s beach house at Airey’ Inlet, we engaged Rob Mills for several reasons, not least of which were his experience building along the Australian coastline and his proven ability to successfully gain council approvals. These are the hidden skills of an architectural practice which you often don’t see when looking at beautiful images. However, they are equally important to the delivery of an exceptional home.

I found Rob to offer real value for money with his fees, not only through his town planning expertise but through the way he tailored the design to suit both our needs and the surrounding landscape. That’s why this house has a true sense of ‘belonging’. The views which the site provides have been embraced as part of the design, and a rigorous materials selection process has taken place so that the house will endure for my children and their children – even here against the wilds of the ocean. I also hold in high regard RMA’s unique procurement method and fixed-price competitive gender process. It seems to me this is the fairest way to achieve the actual quality of a design, and to ensure the most competent and trustworthy builder is selected for construction. The ability to purchase furniture via Rob Mills’ procurement team was also a valuable service and made moving in far easier.

We also had a seamless experience between the architect and the builder, which is vital. There were zero demarcation disputes, and both parties worked together seamlessly. At every step, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rob and his team. They are respectful, available and, importantly, always willing to listen. We are thrilled with the outcome.

Rob Mills was commissioned to build our family home in Toorak in the early days of his career. We had lived in the area during our “nomad” years living and working in numerous cities around the world. We decided that Melbourne would be the place where we would put down roots and build a home which embraced our love of the outdoors and the environment.

One of the great joys of Melbourne is that although it is a very big and international city, it has managed to preserve a lot of the green spaces and natural beauty not normally found in urban centres. We wanted a home which allowed the outside to come in but preserved the privacy of a home in the country and all this within a few kilometres of the CBD...a tall ask of an architect who was still finding his feet.

Rob is full of great ideas, but he’s also a great listener. The brief we gave him was specific and tight but we soon learned that good architecture doesn’t demand complete freedom and an endless budget. From the very first drafting of his ideas on a piece of butcher’s paper it was apparent that Rob has the gift of being able to create beauty of form from simple, and pure lines. It was minimalistic, which is what we wanted, but he and his team were able to make it practical without sacrificing the architectural purity.

We have lived in the home for 20 years and have loved every day. The home has preserved its architectural beauty and has not dated. Time has proven that good architecture does not need to sacrifice to liveability, and that is something that Rob understands well. There is nothing that we would change in the home and this is a further testament to Rob’s great architecture.

In early 2015 RMA - Rob - took on the project of working with me on the modernization and renovation of my home at 15 Harcourt street in Hawthorn East. The house originally designed and built by the famed architect John Beswicke in the 1880’s needed a full rethink and rework having had many people haphazardly change the house over its 120-year life. For that challenge you needed an equally famed and talented architect such as Rob Mills to design what would once again make this home stately.

From our initial meeting where Rob was gleaming from me as to what I wanted from the house I knew that we would work well together to achieve the outcome that I sort for this beautiful home. For me, coming from a business that works in home fashion entailing a lot of design work in both product and store design, Rob understood that I would have firm opinions on many things, and it was this that I wanted to be challenged to ensure that we achieved the best outcome both for the house but of course also for the owners/my family. Rob achieved this in all ways bringing together a team that worked to achieve a fabulous outcome.

The renovation needed to stay true to the heritage of the house, maintaining classical lines in all that was done while at the same time it needed to function in this century. “Modern concrete box” on the back of so many homes was not going to suit and in fact it was that which was being removed. The renovation took the house back to its original bones before adding a wonderful addition and alteration that gives clear sight lines from all windows making the most of light and vistas of the large garden. The house has a wonderful softness and warmth that is created by the curves so integral in the design.

The result I would say is the best 1880s house in the state in terms of beauty and function which is equipped with all that someone living in 2020 could want! The attention to the finest detail was maintained throughout by the team at RMA and walking through the house today years after its completion it is that detail that continues to give so much enjoyment and pleasure day after day. I look forward to my next project with Rob and RMA which will be a new build project on the Mornington peninsula.

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. Additionally, the difference between a good house and a great house is very much dependant on the skills, foresight, and interpretation of your likes and dislikes by your architect. Given that you spend a long time in your house it and it probably is the largest single investment that you make in your lifetime, the right architecture and right design and right feel will pay dividends for a lifetime.

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. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further information, or if you would like to see some of Robs work.

Supplier and builder testimonials

As a BIM Consultant, I had the privilege of collaborating with Rob Mills Architecture & Interiors (RMA) team over an extended period, specifically supporting their BIM implementation and process enhancement. This was a truly rewarding experience, as RMA is a firm that brings a rare blend of creativity and precision to the table. The team’s collaborative spirit stood out from day one, they foster an environment where ideas are welcomed, and open communication ensures everyone is aligned toward delivering exceptional outcomes.

RMA’s investment in cutting-edge technology, including clash detection, BIM workflows, and advanced coordination tools, significantly elevated the way we worked together. This focus on tech didn’t just streamline the process; it reduced risks, improved efficiency, and ensured we stayed ahead of potential challenges during the design and documentation phases.

The quality of RMA’s design and documentation is outstanding and consistently above industry standards. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence made my role smoother and allowed me to focus on delivering value rather than troubleshooting preventable issues. Their proactive approach to quality ensured a seamless workflow from concept through to execution. RMA’s dedication to innovation and continuous improvement was impressive.

Their willingness to embrace technology and refine their processes not only benefited their projects but also inspired those around them to strive for higher standards. I would highly recommend RMA to any contractor, professional collaborator, or client seeking a consultant who brings both creativity and precision to the table. Working alongside their team has been a privilege, and I look forward to seeing the remarkable projects they continue to deliver.

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.

At Cobild we build, but we’re not your typical builders. We’re big-picture construction specialists with an eye for detail, and that is why we love working alongside people in the industry, such as Rob Mills and his team who understand and share our same values. We have just finished working on a luxury residence and an apartment development for Rob Mills Architecture in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The documentation produced by Rob and the RMA team for Tender and Construction was of the highest calibre.

The level of detail and refinement in the documentation has ensured we could price the project with confidence. The RMA team members are professional and meticulous in their approach, focusing on exceptional design. The delivery of the projects, led by Rob Mills and his team, is motivated by achieving the highest quality for our clients.

We are building contractors who have been constructing luxury residences for over 35 years in NSW and are currently constructing a luxury residence for Rob Mills Architecture in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. The documents provided by Rob at the tender time were of the highest calibre. They were more comprehensive, detailed and complete than usually provided to us for tendering. This enabled us to provide a very detailed competitive tender without the usual allowances for unforeseen and provisional sums.

The use of the Revit model based building design by RMA and consultants has made it possible for better coordination of the various services trades to be implemented. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Rob Mills Architecture in the years ahead.

At Pittella, we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Rob Mills for over 30 years. The team at Rob Mills Architects is visionary — unconventional in approach, yet grounded in a deep respect for classical design principles. Their ability to push the boundaries of contemporary architecture while maintaining a refined, timeless elegance consistently results in work that is both compelling and enduring. The interiors they create evoke a profound sense of calm and nurture, offering spaces that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually sophisticated.

The RMA team brings a rare sensitivity to materiality and context. Their love for tactile, natural elements and their deep consideration of the landscape or urban setting in which they build results in architecture that feels intrinsically connected to its environment. Every product specified is chosen with intent, contributing to a harmonious and cohesive whole. At the same time, they skillfully align this vision with the lifestyle and preferences of their clients—always keeping them at the heart of the process. We are proud that selections from our collection complement their work, coming together to create spaces of enduring quality and beauty.
