Cheah Saw Architecture is an architectural studio based in Melbourne led by Eugene Cheah and Joanne Saw.

The practice works across a wide range of projects, with a passion for crafting evocative and intelligent designs that nurture engaging and memorable experiences.

We collaborate with individuals and organisations to create novel opportunities in every project for moments that people can engage with.

Our projects are thoughtfully considered and rigorously detailed to create timeless designs that are enriching whilst addressing the physical and cultural context. 

Both directors have honed their extensive expertise and experience over thirty five years of collective practice leading the design and delivery of award-winning projects.
