"For my family’s beach house we engaged Rob Mills for several reasons, not least of which were his experience building along the Australian coastline and his proven ability to successfully gain council approvals. I found Rob to offer real value for money with his fees, not only through his town planning expertise but through the way he tailored the design to suit both our needs and the surrounding landscape. That’s why this house has a true sense of ‘belonging’. At every step, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rob and his team. They are respectful, available and – importantly – always willing to listen. We are thrilled with the outcome."

"We met with several architects, and what impressed us most about Rob was his personal approach. He took the time to understand how we wanted to live, then he designed our home from there. From the first sketches, we were part of every decision along the way. The entire process was very collaborative and empowering. The RMA team embodies the same dedication and approachable style as Rob himself. Communication is seamless, friendly, and consistent, making the process enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a workplace where creativity thrives, and where every interaction feels collaborative and genuinely supportive. We had absolute trust in RMA from day one. It’s been a rewarding journey, and we’re extremely proud of the result. Perhaps the greatest sign I can give of our satisfaction is that we have re-engaged Rob to design our beach house. Once again, he’s taken the time to understand how we live at the beach and how the home will interact with the coastal environment. It’s a different style of living and a different mindset – but we have every confidence RMA will deliver."

"I have known Rob Mills for 10 years now. He designed my home in Toorak. Rob Mills is my architect of choice. He delivers. He thinks. He is innovative. He is intelligent. He is brilliant. He designed my home for me, not for himself. Rob understands people. He has that empathy you always hope an architect has. Rob Mills has that positive attitude towards design that gives you the confidence that what will be delivered will be extraordinary. As I write these words, I am sitting at my kitchen bench, which comfortably holds ten stools. I am looking outside through an expanse of glass facing North and West, covering 15 metres in length with a floor-to-ceiling height of more than four metres. It is both tranquil and inspiring; I could not be anywhere more wonderful. I believe in Rob Mills as an extraordinary architect and a wonderful human being."

"In early 2015 RMA took on the project of working with me on the modernization and renovation of my home. From our initial meeting where Rob was gleaming from me as to what I wanted from the house I knew that we would work well together to achieve the outcome that I sort for this beautiful home. Rob understood that I would have firm opinions on many things, and it was this that I wanted to be challenged to ensure that we achieved the best outcome both for the house but of course also for the owners/my family. Rob achieved this in all ways bringing together a team that worked to achieve a fabulous outcome. The result I would say is the best 1880s house in the state in terms of beauty and function which is equipped with all that someone living in 2020 could want! The attention to the finest detail was maintained throughout by the team at RMA and walking through the house today years after its completion it is that detail that continues to give so much enjoyment and pleasure day after day. I look forward to my next project on the Mornington Peninsula."

"Building a house is a very personal thing. Using the right architect is essential because you are involved in the process for a long time, and need to be comfortable and work well with the architect. The difference between a good house and a great house is very much dependent on the skills, foresight, and interpretation of your likes and dislikes by your architect. We have used Rob Mills to design a home for our family three times. We have also had the misfortune to start to use other architects. So we feel that we are highly qualified to understand what constitutes GREAT ARCHITECTURE. Working with Rob has been a pleasure. He continually surprises us with changes that he feels will improve things, even after we have said we are OK with the design. His attention to detail is outstanding and his interpretation of our needs has been incredible. We can say, without a shadow of doubt, we have loved the experience of working with Rob on the project and love the results. Every day, when we come home, we feel the immense pleasure that great design and beautiful architecture gives you. We are so proud of the house and get great joy when we get compliments from friends and visitors."

Supplier & Builder Testimonials

Over many years, we have cultivated partnerships with builders, craftspeople, artisans and suppliers who share our values, our refined aesthetic principles, and our exceptionally high standards.

It is an honour to collaborate with people as passionate about us on delivering on time, cost and quality for our clients.

We are building contractors who have been constructing luxury residences for over 35 years in NSW and are currently constructing a luxury residence for Rob Mills Architecture in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. The documents provided by Rob at the tender time were of the highest calibre. They were more comprehensive, detailed and complete than usually provided to us for tendering. This enabled us to provide a very detailed competitive tender without the usual allowances for unforeseen and provisional sums. The use of the Revit model based building design by RMA and consultants has made it possible for better coordination of the various services trades to be implemented. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Rob Mills Architecture in the years ahead.

At Cobild we build, but we’re not your typical builders. We’re big-picture construction specialists with an eye for detail, and that is why we love working alongside people in the industry, such as Rob Mills and his team who understand and share our same values. We have just finished working on a luxury residence and an apartment development for Rob Mills Architecture in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The documentation produced by Rob and the RMA team for Tender and Construction was of the highest calibre. The level of detail and refinement in the documentation has ensured we could price the project with confidence. The RMA team members are professional and meticulous in their approach, focusing on exceptional design. The delivery of the projects, led by Rob Mills and his team, is motivated by achieving the highest quality for our clients. COBILD and RMA are establishing a true relationship for life whilst continuing to build some of Australia’s most prestigious projects.

It has been a pleasure to work with Rob and his talented team on many beautiful projects over the years. I have always appreciated their truly collaborative approach, targeted at obtaining optimal design outcomes, both aesthetic and functional. Though brimming with a wealth of skills and experience, it is the team’s willingness to listen, grow knowledge, and explore alternative approaches that make it a genuinely engaging and rewarding experience. In addition to this process, the resultant environments speak for themselves. Seeing our luminaires offset against grand architectural volumes, through to more intimate spaces with richly layered palettes of materials, makes me both proud and grateful for the opportunity to be involved.
