Selected work
Projects we’re proud
to put our name to.
From a single-storey hillside residence at Lake Albert to a refurbished Catholic primary school, four selected projects show the breadth of work moving through the studio — residential, multi-residential and commercial alike.
01
Residential
Atherton Crescent Residence
A contemporary single-storey home set into a hillside — sweeping eaves, a balustraded deck and a quiet, considered street presence.

Our process: initial consult, concept, design development, council documentation and submission — with you informed at every stage.
The Icono way
Rod McMullen
Managing Director · Senior Designer · Dip. Bld. Des.
The practice
Friendly, flexible — and listening closely to what you want to achieve.
Icono has been designing homes, schools, retail fitouts and unit developments from a small Wagga studio since 2003. Founded by Rod McMullen — Accredited Building Designer No. 6262 (Medium Rise) — the practice now also includes Architectural Graduate Jared Milne (BArch Hons.).
The work covers residential, commercial, multi-residential and interiors. Project reach extends well beyond the Riverina — completed work spans Canberra, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, the NSW South Coast, Bendigo, Shepparton and as far north as Yeppoon. The approach hasn’t changed in twenty years: free initial consultation, written service agreement, principal involvement on every brief.

BDAA accreditation
We cannot imagine a building of such appropriate and beautiful uniqueness without the outstanding architectural skills provided by Mr McMullen and the staff of Icono.
Recognition
Two decades of work,
credibly recognised.
Award shortlistings, professional accreditation and the projects that the recognition came from. The work speaks first; the rest is supporting evidence.
