Design practice
Nickolas Gurtler Office is a Melbourne-based interior design studio founded in 2015 by principal Nickolas Gurtler, delivering residential, multi-residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, health, beauty and wellness interiors for clients in Australia and internationally. The studio provides full-service residential and commercial interior design, including interior curation, spatial planning, concept development, custom joinery, lighting, finishes, fixtures, furniture, artwork, construction documentation, procurement, project oversight and decoration. Its approach centres on “Interior Alchemy”, combining sculptural form, distinctive material palettes, precise spatial composition, natural materials, and collaboration with artisans and makers, particularly in Australia. The practice works with private clients, brands and businesses to create tailored interiors that balance atmosphere and function while aiming to improve how people live, work and feel. It has been recognised in national and international publications, with Nickolas Gurtler nominated for Designer of the Year in the 2025 IDEA Awards and projects such as Ocean Cosmetics receiving major recognition, including the 2023 IDEA Award for Institutional Design.
