Studio Bright (previously known as MAKE Architecture since 2006) is an architecture Melbourne-based practice, led by Melissa Bright, and founded in 2019.
Melissa Bright studied architecture at RMIT and lived in many places in different parts of the World. She gives lots of credits to MIT for her success as her studies have contributed to her works in many way but especially her education years were the times that new approaches in architecture were being explored and that helped her to take bold steps as experiments and new approaches have a great role in her works. Her works are mostly residential, educational and multi-residential architecture but her beliefs and approach distinguish her works. She believes that architecture provides a great opportunity to change people’s lives and that’s why she doesn’t create only aesthetically pleasing works but also significant, as they all have been made with the idea of changing the world or making a contribution to at least to the city where she lives.
