Why we introduce them
Metro Building Designers has drawn more than five hundred extensions and renovations across Melbourne, and in 2024 it stood up at the industry’s own judging: category wins for a Malvern renovation and a Doreen project home at the HIA-CSR Victorian Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards, both built with Aviva Homes.
Director Glenn Nielsen, a registered building practitioner of twenty years, keeps the practice focused on small to medium residential projects, so every client keeps their own design consultant from sketch to permit. Award level proof with household scale attention is the combination we look for.
Chosen and introduced by the BuilderHQ team.
The practice
Metro Building Designers is a Reservoir practice led by director Glenn Nielsen, a building practitioner registered with the Victorian Building Authority who brings twenty years of residential design experience. The studio works on extensions, renovations, new homes and unit developments, deliberately held at small to medium scale so each client deals directly with their own design consultant, and counts more than five hundred extensions and renovations designed across Melbourne. Design, town planning and building permit applications are handled in house on fixed fees, and in 2024 two of the practice’s projects, a Doreen home and a Malvern renovation built with Aviva Homes, won their categories at the HIA-CSR Victorian Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards.
