Robert Davidov is the founder and director of Davidov Architects, a Melbourne-based architecture and interiors practice established in 2011. His studio focuses on residential work across metropolitan Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, from new homes and multi-residential developments to heritage alterations and additions, applying a pared-back, materially expressive approach.

Raised in Melbourne in a builder–developer family, Davidov’s early exposure to construction informed a career blending design rigor with practical responsibility. He studied Architecture and Construction Management at the University of Melbourne, completing a structured year of industry experience before graduating and registering as an architect.

Before founding his practice, he worked with Harmer Architecture—gaining exposure to technically demanding civic work including mausoleum projects—and with FMSA Architecture (now Foreground Architecture) on social and civic programs, experience that broadened his understanding of client needs and delivery at scale.

Davidov’s work is informed by architectural pilgrimages to seminal buildings in Europe, the United States, Japan, and North Africa. He is particularly interested in projects that explore light, proportion, and tactility—and aspires to design a contemporary place of worship.
