MODO (Michael Ong Design Office) is a multi-disciplinary design office in Melbourne, Australia inspired design office by simple and considered designs. They are excited about the qualities found in everyday spaces, and explore concepts to turn the ordinary and banal into rich and expensive. Their work forms a foundation for narratives to develop and grow within their constructed spaces and objects. While they are fascinated by the intangible, their work is grounded by solid design strategies, experience, rigor, direction and skill.
From large private housed to tiny jewelry pieces, MODO meet each project with an open mind and innate sense of curiosity. They always collaborate with their client’s brief and budget to realize a thoughtful, unique and complete project. “Michael’s first home shows a real feeling for space and materials. His silo project and in particular his experimental kitchen are indicative of his need to explore design.” – Brain Zulaikha 「president of Australian Institute of Architects and director of TZG Architects」
