Nina Maya and Colin Sternberg stand side by side in front of an abstract, iridescent wall art piece. Nina, on the left, is wearing a sleeveless black dress with a subtle sweetheart neckline and bracelets on both wrists. Colin, on the right, sports a dark blue collared shirt with rolled-up sleeves and off-white pants. They are both smiling subtly and appear relaxed.

About us

Maya Sternberg Architects is a Sydney-based architectural practice working internationally across bespoke residential and select commercial projects.
We design highly considered homes and environments that respond to both person and place, with an emphasis on longevity, clarity of intent, and how spaces are experienced over time.

Our work is grounded in deep technical expertise, strategic planning, and creative exploration. Each project is shaped through a disciplined process that balances materiality, form, and function, ensuring consistency of purpose from concept through to completion. Spatial layering, environmental response, and lived experience are central to how we design.

We offer a full scope of architectural services across the life of a project, including concept design, design development, planning and documentation, interior architecture, construction coordination, and project oversight. Our practice works closely with long-term collaborators across interiors, lighting, furniture, and estate services to ensure design intent is carried through every stage.

Our methodology is defined by close client engagement and clear leadership. We value strong communication, collaborative design, and informed decision-making, while maintaining responsibility for guiding each project to its best possible outcome.

We believe architecture must balance precision and imagination — grounding what is known with what is possible.

“Science is the exploration and understanding of what is.Art is the exploration and understanding of what can be.Architecture must be both.”
— Colin Sternberg
