About RBi Architects

Leading Commercial & Industrial Architects Across Melbourne

Great designs are built on four pillars – experience, expertise, integrity, and collaboration. RBi Architects takes pride in delivering design solutions that are innovative, smart, and sustainable – for over three decades.

RBi Architects, founded and led by Robert Blair, has seen remarkable growth over years – from a small, local design studio to now a trusted partner for builders, business owners, developers, and investors alike. The striking combination of our practical construction knowledge and creative design thinking has been the key to our success.

 

We’re based in Cremorne, Melbourne, and operate as a boutique commercial architectural firm for commercial, industrial, retail, and mixed-use developments across Victoria. At RBi Architects, we ensure that every project we take up achieves its commercial goals in time and within the stipulated budget.

Our Design Philosophy

“Architecture should connect people with nature. It should turn ordinary spaces into sustainable, inspiring places to live and work.”

– Robert Blair, Principal Architect at RBi Architects

 

Bringing the outside in’ is what Robert has expertise in. He’s long championed the art of integrating nature and light into every space through his architectural stronghold.

 

The same philosophy fuels our commitment to crafting environments that boost both performance and wellbeing, from early projects to large-scale factory warehouse designs and restricted retail developments.

 

Our approach has always been adaptable with changing times. Today, the prominent use of energy-efficient materials and advanced solar glass systems, we’re up-to-date with how we design workplaces, community spaces, and shopping centres of tomorrow.
