Sydney- and Melbourne-based architectural and spatial design practice Cley Studio, which operates within the Mijasu network, has announced that it has recently entered into a new merger with Architex in New South Wales and Crosier Scott Architects in Victoria.<\/p>\n
The merger follows Mijasu\u2019s acquisition of Architex in 2023 and Crosier Scott Architects in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile each practice continued to operate successfully as standalone, the acquisition of Crosier Scott Architects became a catalyst for a strategic review \u2013 prompting a clear decision to bring all three practices together under a single, strengthened Cley Studio brand,\u201d a media release from Cley Studio notes.<\/p>\n
They describe the merger as \u201cnot simply a consolidation, but a deliberate decision to bring people, experience and perspective into closer alignment \u2026 reflecting a belief that great places and spaces are created through collaboration \u2026 and where growth is pursued in service of excellence, not scale alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cley Studio CEO Jacob Burke commented, \u201cThis next chapter is about building a practice that is sustainable in every sense; creatively, culturally and commercially. By investing in people, structure and long-term capability, we\u2019re ensuring the practice can continue to deliver enduring value for clients, while remaining resilient and adaptable as the industry evolves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The studio now employs more than 50 architects and designers across Australia and has plans to expand internationally in the next year. Their work spans residential, education, leisure and tourism, government and mixed-use commercial sectors, with projects valued at over $600 million.<\/p>\n
The firm\u2019s expertise in housing includes individual homes and medium-density developments right through to high-density, residential mixed-use towers. The merger with Crosier Scott Architects also brings specialist experience in seniors living and aged care.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralia\u2019s housing challenge isn\u2019t just about design; it\u2019s about how efficiently projects move from idea to reality,\u201d Burke said. \u201cBy growing the practice and investing in smarter processes, talent and automation, we\u2019re gearing up to help projects become shovel-ready sooner, without compromising design excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
