'Practicing What They Preach'

Habitat 1

Habitat 1 is a full service design and construct company comprising of architects, interior designers and a builder.

Founded in 2004 by Christian Formby and Milos Stojsavljevic, Habitat 1 was initially established as a commercial interior design firm. Their company has now evolved into a national, multi-faceted design and construction company whose works include all aspects of commercial office fitouts and multi-storey residential architecture.

Habitat 1 has more than tripled in size since its inception, hence the reason for moving offices, they had outgrown their previous space and their needs had changed.
