Maike Design creates spaces that delight and provide a lasting sense of place. Our designs celebrate the nuances of daily rituals and find the subtle beauty in engaging with functional requirements.
Maike Design is a Melbourne based Interior Design practice founded by Mairead Murphy. We specialise in carefully crafted spaces for living and working across Melbourne, throughout country Victoria and interstate.
We understand that everyone’s lives are unique – so our designs reflect that.
In each project we recognise that our client's individual requirements and aspirations are key to creating highly personal and inspiring spaces. We thrive on providing a creative, thoughtful response to each project context and each client’s needs across all aspects of every project.
Our practice values good design, quality construction, craftsmanship, bespoke detailing and honest materiality.
