Dominic and Marie Bagnato both studied architecture at Melbourne University from 1987=1992 with Marie also specializing in interior design. They formed Bagnato Architecture in 2007 and in the intervening ten years have developed first a local and then an international reputation for their ability to create atmospheric, rich and beautiful homes that seamlessly blend traditional and modern styles. Their work is hallmarked by brilliant and economical use of space, a fantastic color sense employing a tendency towards rich and flavorful textures and mateirals and an ability to create environments that are at once stunning but also immensely personal and homely. They have an uncanny ability to create superb interplays between interior and exterior features and their villas make ingenious references to historical architectural idioms. They are a world class outfit whose approach is always tremendously sympathetic and anchored within the needs and aspirations of the client.
