About us
Muci is an architecture studio committed to exploring the full potential of every project, delivering honest buildings that balance functionality with joy and generosity.
We believe that architecture is about life, not things. We care about how spaces are conceived, how they respond to people and place, and how they might recalibrate our engagement with the everyday.
Established by Steani Cilliers and Chris Mullaney, Muci brings together years of valuable experience working on a diverse range of projects recognised in industry awards and design publications.
We are motivated by projects that have potential for positive transformation with the benefit of good design, regardless of scale, location, or budget.
Our approach
We believe in a collaborative approach to design, working with our clients to skilfully guide their project from inception to completion.
Our design process is incremental and considered. Starting with a thorough analysis of project constraints and aspirations, we rigorously test and refine ideas in conversation with our clients until a clear path emerges.
We communicate the evolving design through sketches, models, collages, and digital visualisations to solidify the spatial and material qualities of the project.
Along the way, we assemble a project team that is tailored to the specific needs of the project, working with specialist consultants and building contractors to integrate advice without losing sight of the shared vision.
Services
We offer full architectural services, from initial concepts through to completion of the build.
Typical phases include:
- Feasibility studies

- Design Development & Statutory Approvals

We have experience in a diverse range of project types including the architecture and interiors of new houses, renovations, apartment buildings, early learning centres, aquatic and recreation centres, community centres, and hospitality.
