Architectural style

ARM has been described as practising "architectural outspokenness".[3] The firm has undertaken a number of heritage and renewal projects, including the refurbishment of Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne, the redevelopment of the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, RMIT Storey Hall, and the redevelopment of Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. ARM was also commissioned to prepare the masterplans for Melbourne Docklands, the Adelaide Festival Plaza Precinct, and Elizabeth Quay in Perth. Other projects include the Perth Arena and Wanangkura Stadium in Port Hedland.

As of 2016, ARM was the only Australian firm to have won the Australian Institute of Architects' Premier State Award seven times, most recently for the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre.[3] The firm's design work has been featured on two Australian postage stamps.[3]
