Profile
Ola is an award winning architecture studio with a reputation for delivering imaginative solutions to a diverse range of project types and scales. With broad design experience in residential, commercial and institutional work, Ola provides a high level of architecture, interior, masterplan and urban design services.
We are passionate about crafting warm and inviting spaces, and employ a rigorous and collaborative design approach focused on the requirements of our clients and the opportunities of their site.
Integral to our design methodology is a focus on how we can contribute positively to our living and natural environment and minimise the negative environmental impact our work may cause. We advocate passive thermal efficiency through clever construction techniques and sensible planning. We aim to keep mechanical systems for energy and thermal control simple and to be manually operated when possible to minimise ongoing maintenance costs and encourage user engagement with their environment.
Biography
Phil Snowdon
Phil grew up in the remote country town of Tragowel in north western Victoria before moving to Melbourne where he completed his Bachelor of Architecture with honours at the university of Melbourne. Prior to Ola, Phil had a short stint as a sole practitioner architect with Snowdon architects between 2012 and 2014. His track record of delivering inspiring and intriguing architecture, in response to often unusual and complex briefs, provides insight into his experience working with a range of architectural practices including the highly awarded office of Jackson Clements Burrows, Seniwisma Arkitek in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and as the senior design associate at CHT architects.
Manos Mavridis
Manos completed his Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Construction Management, and Master of Architecture at Deakin University in Geelong. Manos’ career in architecture began in 2008 as a student architect at CHT Architects under the tutelage of Phil Snowdon. He then moved on to pastures new gaining experience at CHS Arquitectos in Spain before moving back to Australia to develop his nuanced residential detailing with Fiona Winzar Architects. Phil and Manos’ paths crossed again, and a shared vision for passionate, fun and exciting architecture led to the formation of Ola Studio.
