Architects EAT

Architects EAT was a Melbourne-based architecture and interior design studio founded in 2000 by Eid Goh and Albert Mo. Over 23 years, the firm became known for its phenomenological approach to design, emphasizing sensory experience, material richness, and contextual sensitivity. Their portfolio spanned residential, hospitality, commercial, and public projects across Australia and Asia.
The name "EAT" originated as an acronym from the initials of the three founding partners. Although one partner departed early on, Goh and Mo continued to lead the practice, fostering a collaborative culture that prioritized creativity and innovation.
Architects EAT's design philosophy was rooted in first principles, focusing on site, context, history, and environment, rather than adhering to a signature style. This approach led to diverse and unique projects, including the sculptural Bellows House in Flinders and the immersive Yūgen Dining in Melbourne. Their work often featured tactile materials like concrete, timber, and stone, creating spaces that were both functional and emotionally resonant.
Throughout its operation, the firm received numerous accolades, such as the Belle Apartment of the Year Award (2007), Best Hospitality Interior (2008), and the Australian Institute of Architects Award for Residential Architecture (2010). Their projects were frequently showcased in international publications and exhibitions.
In 2025, Architects EAT announced its closure, marking the end of a significant chapter in Australian architecture. Both Goh and Mo have since embarked on new ventures, continuing to influence the architectural landscape with their commitment to thoughtful and innovative design.
