About Us
Karavasil Architects is a multidisciplinary design studio specialising in architecture and interior design. We are highly process and research based in our approach, always curious and interested in creating experiential design outcomes.
This method allows us to generate unique and individual design results in our projects which strongly resonate with our clients, their brands, the context and the land in which they are located.
Georgina Karavasil Papargiris and Vicki Karavasil lead the practice. They were both associates at some of Melbourne’s most influential architecture firms and have designed and delivered award winning projects at multiple scales.
Together, they have a diverse experience in an array of architectural typologies, including single-residential, multi-residential, commercial office, workplace design, hotels, hospitality, retail, education & health. With this rounded knowledge, they have come together to establish their own practice.
Both directors have also taught at RMIT University, leading research-based design studios at the Masters of Architecture level and mentored major project students completing their final year of studies. Their association with academia over the years has had a large influence in their work.
Each of our projects are unique – we don’t replicate a signature style. The practice consciously takes a people-centric approach to design and is committed to crafting custom human environments. With a strong emphasis on design process, we take a rigorous procedural-based way of working in order to create projects which draw on layered influences and outcomes that are distinctive and meaningful. Every project is grounded in solid principles of functionality, material exploration and environmental sustainability to ensure our buildings are enjoyed long into the future.
Karavasil Architects acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

What we do
Karavasil Architects is deeply committed to every facet of design, recognising each component as crucial for achieving a comprehensive and successful project outcome.
We offer a comprehensive suite of design services which can be crafted to cater to a diverse array of projects spanning across architectural and interior domains. Our dynamic team, comprised of skilled architects and interior designers, possesses the expertise to guide projects seamlessly from conception to realisation. This holistic journey can involve us assisting in feasibility studies before site acquisition, meticulously creating detailed designs and documentation, offering construction services throughout the construction phase, managing building contracts, facilitating a smooth project handover, and providing post-construction support.
No matter the scale or type of project, 3D modelling and visualising our designs is a key part of our process, commencing as early as the conceptual design stage. This enables our clients to grasp the anticipated final outcome, ensuring a highly visual and transparent approach.
Recognising the inherent uniqueness of each project, our services are tailored to precisely align with its specific requirements, scale and budget. This approach not only results in distinctive and customized design outcomes, but also fosters a personalized project experience from inception to completion. Whether its guiding clients through the entire process from conception to handover or assisting in specific stages, our approach is flexible and adaptable to accommodate the individual needs of each project.
