Studio Razbash is a pioneering Melbourne-based architecture and design practice that seamlessly integrates architecture, interior design, acoustics, and audiovisual solutions. Led by Ilana Razbash, a registered architect with extensive experience in major public projects, and Hannah Razbash, an expert in sound engineering and project management, we create spaces that look exceptional, feel extraordinary, and perform at the highest acoustic and sensory standards.

We specialise in designing for clarity, connection, comfort, and community, ensuring that our work not only meets but enhances the functional and sensory needs of its users. Our deep commitment to sustainable and user-focused design, combined with our track record of delivering complex, large-scale projects, makes us an invaluable partner in the built environment.

We're so excited to be able to officially reveal our studio space, masterfully captured by @mrveeral!

It's not a huge room but with careful planning and zoning, we have more than enough and still some room to grow! This first photo is captured from the edge of the library zone, on the threshold of the workspace zone. The library is the first thing you see when you enter the space. Our collection of books, magazines, and reference materials is constantly used in the design process. We are always learning and expanding our ideas.

Beyond, captured in the second image, you can see our layout zone where @razbash_ assembles materials and samples. The plants have been absolutely thriving - they love the abundance of natural light and clean air.

Last weekend, we officially opened and "warmed" the space in the intimate company of collaborators, friends, and supporters. It was thrilling to HEAR & FEEL the @troldtekt ceiling supplied by @csrhimmel work it's magic in a room full of people, joy, chatter and music. We'll share more on this later and how #greatsound was achieved in our Hawthorn Rd studio. It was such a quick and simple upgrade that made a world of difference.

More magical shots and behind the scenes moments to come. Happy Fri-yay and here we are - Studio Razbash has officially HARD LAUNCHED!

Translating Place brings together architects, designers, and thinkers to explore how migration shapes the way we inhabit, remember, and design domestic space.

For many migrant families, the home becomes more than a shelter. It is a site of memory, adaptation, and negotiation between inherited cultural practices and the realities of a new place. Architecture in these contexts is often informal, layered, and deeply personal, shaped as much by lived experience as by formal design intent.

The discussion moves between these perspectives, asking what it means to call a place home, how that meaning shifts over time, and how architecture can hold and transform the stories of the people within it.

The discussion, bringing together architects, designers, and researchers, including Sonia Sarangi, Belqis Youssofzay, Mirjana Lozanovska, and Veeral Patel, is moderated by Ilana Razbash.

#TempleFragments

Urgently commenced following the antisemitic arson attack on East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation in mid-2025, Razbash’s new body of work continues explorations in the melding of “the real” and “the imagined” whilst challenging audiences to find holiness in the mundane, pride in identity and strength in truth.

Temple Fragments presents a site-specific installation holding the 54 individual synagogue buildings of Melbourne. Semi-transparent superimposed overlays of the Beis Hamikdash (2nd Temple) melt with streetscapes and cropped views all captured en plein air. Meanwhile the skeletal armature is both a fragile reminder of the temporary nature of all diaspora communities for the last 2000 years and a prototype for what could be - a proud, united and strong in-gathering.

Rabbi Jonothan Sacks z”l wrote in his plethora of books and lectures that upon the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE, the Jewish people were scattered into diaspora taking a small spiritual piece of the temple (mikdash me'at) with them. These fragments became synagogues - buildings of very little criteria beyond requiring an ark, a torah scroll, an eternal light, a bimah (elevated reading desk) and windows. This too was the criteria applied to distinct synagogues included in this series.

The 54 9x12" oil on canvas panel works serve as foundational architectural analysis for the design of a speculative Great Synagogue of Melbourne. Paintings on linen canvas continue in the next room beyond the prototype temple, imagining a bold alternative future through an architectonic proposal designed by the artist-architect. The scheme offers a vision of what could be if the external threats to safety and internal division was overcome.
