Adam Markowitz

Adam Markowitz is a Melbourne architect and furniture maker who runs Adam Markowitz Design, the cross-disciplinary studio he founded in 2014 in Northcote, on the city’s northern edge. Trained in Australia, the Netherlands and Denmark, he divides his practice between buildings and hand-made pieces, treating furniture, lighting and architecture as one continuous conversation about material and joinery.

Residential architecture and bespoke commissions sit alongside a furniture and lighting collection, with pieces developed from solid timber and finished in the studio workshop. Markowitz also teaches, co-leading the product development segment at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship’s Wood School in Maine, and in 2025 he made Refractions for Design Mumbai with Phantom Hands and the American Hardwood Export Council.
