Who we are
Two Melbourne friends combining architecture, digital product and supplier partnerships to make adding a beautiful room feel much simpler.
Co-founder · Design
A registered architect with nine years across residential, commercial and education projects in Melbourne and London, most recently in design management on major workplace fit-outs.
Monty leads the architecture, product design and technical coordination of every Backyard—from material choices and junctions to consultants, approvals and buildability.
Co-founder · Digital & Growth
An ecommerce product leader with a decade across Shopify Plus builds, migrations and growth marketing, alongside running his own digital agency since 2015.
Phil leads the online experience, marketing and supplier partnerships, making a complex building process legible from first click to delivery.
Friends since high school
Backyard sits within Arch Spaces Group, alongside ventures that share a belief in better-designed everyday environments.
We are assembling a network of Australian manufacturers and specialist partners so each room combines a disciplined architectural shell with genuinely excellent equipment and interiors.
A real room, with material depth and calm proportions—not a dressed-up shed.
Repeatable components, resolved junctions and less improvisation on site.
Specialist suppliers selected for the part of the room they know best.
