Design
Enduring design, shaped by people and purpose.
A spatial strategy and design firm. From new-build and adaptive-reuse residential and public buildings to multi-level residences and mixed-use projects, our work responds to site and climate, and privileges durability and adaptability.
We approach buildings and interiors as a single, integrated discipline — creating environments that are functional, durable and shaped by how people actually use space, with a view to long-term adaptability.
Site opportunities and constraints, budget alignment, and a clear brief — testing what's possible before committing to a design direction.
From concept through design development, we resolve the built form — spatial planning, materials and detail — and prepare documentation for planning and building approval.
We support contractor selection and tender review, then stay engaged through contract administration — site meetings and coordination through to practical completion.
A residential renovation built around light, material honesty and how a household actually gathers — timber battens, concrete and glass framing a courtyard designed for everyday use.
View all projectsUrbanID Design is an architecture and interior design practice serving metro Melbourne and regional Victoria. We deliver new-build and adaptive-reuse work across residential, mixed-use, retail and civic projects, treating architecture and interiors as a single, integrated discipline.
Our studio is in Carlton, Victoria. We work across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria, including Ballarat.
Adaptive reuse means reworking an existing building for a new purpose while retaining its structure and character — a sustainable alternative to demolition that we apply across both heritage and contemporary projects.
UrbanID Design is led by Annelise Porter, a registered architect (VIC #6724).
UrbanID Analytics is our sister practice. It uses live data capture and agent-based simulation to test and predict how a space will perform before you build — connecting data-led insight with our built design work.
