Meet Maxine Scalabrino

Maxine Scalabrino | Principal Architect

Maxine Scalabrino is a skilled, versatile architect whose flawless, high-end designs are dotted around Sydney eastern suburbs. With an extraordinary eye for what works, and an exceptional ear for listening, she creates enduring, life-enriching spaces her clients love.

Maxine works without the constraint of a signature style, preferring to focus on client vision and site potential. What does run constant is a quiet assuredness of design. This is reflected in Maxine’s calm, utterly approachable manner that makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with her.  

Growing up in South Africa instilled this sense of calm in Maxine. Taking long swims through the icy currents of the Atlantic Ocean, she would marvel at the beauty around her:

“The blue hues of the ocean with the backdrop of the mountain and flora, are some of my fondest childhood memories. These textures, movements and colours feed into the designs I create.”  

Starting a degree in building science, Maxine soon discovered her passion for design and changed courses. She graduated in architecture and came first in her class at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Studying both disciplines has given her a unique ability to resolve site issues while maintaining exquisite, seamless design. 

Maxine has worked in the Sydney building industry for over 20 years, both independently and with developers. Her versatility extends to new homes, dual occupancies, apartments, renovations, residential developments and office fitouts.
