A response to place from day one
Overview
Founded in 2010, we are inspired by the culture of cities and each Milieu project is conceived to make a positive contribution to its setting. Through our diverse activities, we seek out opportunities to foster connection, explore innovation, cultivate the everyday culture of design, and enable a well-lived life.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, the Milieu Group includes, Milieu Property, Milieu Built, Milieu Hospitality and Milieu Stays.
Development
For Milieu, development is a creative act. Part problem-solving, part curatorial process, we focus on weaving together the physical and intangible fabric that brings cities to life.
We view all projects as an opportunity to draw on our collaborators’ unique talents, explore new perspectives, elevate the standards of urban design, and advocate for more progressive ways of living.
Explore our spacesHospitality
Hospitality plays a pivotal role in our approach to cultural production. Whether it’s a dining venue beneath a Milieu residential project, a stand-alone restaurant, an event or a social initiative, we view hosting as an opportunity to enrich the day-to-day life of a neighbourhood.
Through Milieu Hospitality we stay connected to our projects and purchasers long after settlement.
milieuhospitality.com.auCulture
Our culture is positive, collaborative and open. Expressed through initiatives that advocate for our approach, refine our understanding of the evolving context in which we work, and strengthen our connections with local communities, our culture guides every aspect of our business.
Community
Giving back to the neighbourhoods in which we operate is central to our approach. As part of our commitment to shaping better cities, we work with organisations, partners and employees to contribute to our communities, promote emerging arts and culture, and have a lasting impact on people’s day-to-day lives.
