FGR Architects

Who we are:

FGR Architects is a Melbourne-based architecture studio founded in 2003 by Feras Raffoul. With over two decades of experience, the practice is defined by its commitment to minimalist modernity and the pursuit of enduring luxury. At the heart of FGR’s approach is an appreciation for refined simplicity—luxury that is quiet, thoughtful, and lasting. This is expressed through a restrained aesthetic, authentic materiality, and an obsessive attention to detail that elevates the everyday. Guided by a deep respect for design integrity, FGR challenges conventional norms, embracing raw, honest materials and simple palettes that reveal the inherent beauty of architecture without unnecessary complication or waste. Each project is a reflection of clarity and purpose, tailored to enrich the lives of those who inhabit the space. For FGR, architecture is not merely a visual statement—it is an intimate, immersive experience that contributes to a sense of wellbeing and presence. The practice draws influence from innovative, pure forms of minimalist design, applied thoughtfully to meet the needs and aspirations of its clients. Through a collaborative process, FGR works closely with clients to translate their personal values and lifestyle into built form. Each design becomes a bespoke expression of its context and occupants, offering calm, comfort and inspiration. FGR crafts timeless, elegant buildings that quietly endure.
