What Kosloff Architecture does

Kosloff Architecture is a private, employee-owned architectural practice headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, founded in 2017 by Julian Kosloff and Stephanie Bullock. The firm delivers project-based professional services spanning masterplanning, building design, adaptive reuse, and interior design for institutional, commercial, residential, and civic clients, with education as the dominant vertical — primary and secondary schools, universities, and joint-use libraries across Victoria. Notable projects include Swinburne University's LateLab adaptive reuse, Mount Alexander College, Warrnambool Library and Learning Centre, Pascoe Vale Primary School's seven-year masterplan, Monash University's School of Biological Science facade with artist Callum Morton, and Melbourne Airport's B64N co-working hub.

The practice operates as an integrated, single-service studio rather than a discrete product portfolio, generating revenue through quote-based professional fees on multi-year contracts. Its underlying technology stack is conventional architectural design and collaboration tooling, with an explicit emphasis on technology that minimises travel and carbon footprint. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led via direct client engagement, design competitions, tender processes, and referrals — targeting educational institutions, government bodies, and private developers primarily within Victoria.

Kosloff Architecture has built a distinctive position around sustainability, ethics, and adaptive reuse. It has been a Certified B Corporation since May 2019, is carbon neutral through the Carbon Neutral Biodiverse Reforestation program (44.81 tonnes CO2-e in 2023-24), operates an employee-shareholder ownership model, runs an integrated charitable giving program through B1G1 (60,800 cumulative impacts), and holds an endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan. Sustained recognition from the Australian Institute of Architects, IDEA, Architizer, and Archello across 2022-2026 underpins procurement credibility in the Victorian public-sector market.
