I founded Darren Naftal Architecture in 2001, running a successful practice for 18 years before relocating interstate. I’m thrilled to be back in Melbourne and reopening my doors.

​

With a passion for design and craftsmanship in all forms, I’m not only an architect, but also a furniture designer and qualified furniture maker. In my spare time, I love to share my skills by teaching woodworking. Darren Naftal Fine Furniture

​

I’m driven by the desire to create work of the highest quality - projects designed to last for generations. I partner with clients who share my belief in design’s power to enhance the quality of life, helping families grow and live better together.

​

I choose to be a sole practitioner because I enjoy every aspect of being an architect, from the initial design stages to project completion. This also means you’ll work directly with me throughout, benefiting from my thorough, hands-on approach at every stage of the process.

​

I believe in true collaboration. My role is to take care of the technical details, keep the project on budget, and manage the build, while you bring your dreams and excitement. Together, we’ll make your vision a reality - stress-free and beautifully crafted.​​
