Aiming to set a new benchmark for urban residential design, Inhabit Design are focused on creating a new visual language, one that radiates outward from the individual, to a respectful street level and community experience. “We are really focused on the individual experience of the people living in our buildings and want to enhance this on every level,” says Inhabit Design Co-Design Leader Ariel Lopez. “Melbourne is a city that is changing – this change gives opportunities for Inhabit Design to positively contribute to the changes and become involved in active dialogue with the community.”
Inhabit’s team leaders, Ariel Lopez and Pablo Godoy hail from Argentina, but with divergent career paths and architectural approaches. With a collective 23 years experience in the industry and 12 years overseas experience in the residential, commercial and hospitality developments, Ariel has led the architectural and design teams for Inhabit Design since February 2014 after joining the company as a Senior Project Architect in 2013.
