Cley Studio

What Cley Studio does

Cley Studio is an Australian architecture and spatial design practice offering integrated services across architecture, interior design, urban design, and masterplanning. The firm was officially relaunched on 5 February 2026 as a unified national practice consolidating the previously separate Architex (NSW) and Crosier Scott Architects (VIC) under a single Cley Studio brand, both acquired by parent organisation Mijasu in 2023 and 2025 respectively. Cley Studio operates as a founding member of the Mijasu network, a collective of built environment practices that includes Best (placemaking and wayfinding) and Approv (town planning and development approvals), enabling an end-to-end service journey from early strategy through construction delivery.

The firm serves enterprise and government clients across residential, commercial, hospitality, education, aged care, and industrial sectors, with a portfolio of 50+ completed projects and a pipeline valued at over A$800 million. Notable engagements include serving as Design Excellence Architect for the 527-home Parramatta twin-tower development for ALAND, the A$70 million / 177-bed Infinite Care Knoxfield aged care facility (shortlisted for Development of the Year at the Urban Developer Industry Excellence Awards 2026), and projects for Commonwealth Bank, Jenolan Caves House Hotel, McDonald's, Schnitz, Amcal Pharmacy, and Ego Pharmaceuticals. The practice is led by CEO Jacob Burke, with offices in Sydney (NSW headquarters) and Melbourne (relocated to Everlane, Cremorne in December 2025, doubling previous floorspace).

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project-based, quote-driven model, with no publicly disclosed pricing or tiers. The firm employs 50+ architects and designers, holds NSW Board of Architects and Victorian ARBV registrations, and complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Distribution is direct-to-client, primarily through enterprise field sales, design competitions, and Design Excellence Architect appointments, supported by organic content marketing via Instagram, LinkedIn, and the company website. The firm operates domestically in NSW and Victoria with international expansion planned within 12 months.
