Crosier Scott Architects

What Crosier Scott Architects does

Crosier Scott Architects is an Australian architectural practice founded in 1951 and headquartered in Hawthorn, Victoria. The firm provides planning and interior design services to construction-sector clients, applying what it describes as an integrated, interdisciplinary, and people-centred design approach. Its stated headcount range is 11–50 employees, consistent with a small-to-mid-sized boutique architectural studio.

The practice has historically operated under the Crosier Scott name with a standalone web presence (crosierscott.com.au), which currently displays a "Coming Soon" placeholder indicating a transition. The firm has been integrated into the Mijasu network of design practices and rebranded as Cley Studio, positioning itself within a multi-disciplinary national Australian network rather than as an independent boutique. The integration is presented as delivering national geographic scale and interdisciplinary capability while preserving the same trusted team and 75-year practice heritage.

The business model is fee-for-service architectural and interior design consulting, with revenue generated from project-based engagements with construction and development clients. No disclosed revenue, pricing structure, project pipeline, or client concentration data is available, and there is no indication of proprietary technology, AI tooling, or external funding. The firm's strategic posture has shifted decisively from independent operator to network member, with the implications for growth and competitive positioning dependent on the performance of the broader Mijasu network.
