Design practice Milieu Creative Property and construction company Statuo Group have announced the appointment of Mike Harvey as the company’s Group General Manager.

An industry heavyweight with more than 20 years of construction and development experience leading teams at Built, Georgiou, Probuild Construction and Edge Living; Harvey will now lead Statuo Group and Milieu Creative’s portfolio, extending the services of Milieu Creative to deliver a holistic approach to design, development and construction.

“Milieu Creative and Statuo Group were established with the vision to holistically deliver bespoke properties that shape the urban landscape and positively impact those in which they are designed to serve,” she says. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Mike Harvey to our leadership team as we grow our founding commitment from architecture anddesign services, and into delivering built-form developments.”

Established in 2021, Statuo Group was born from the success of Milieu Creative, with a joint vision to curate human-centred experiences through space. Both companies now work holistically to deliver projects to challenge the status quo.

Harvey’s appointment builds on recent senior additions to the Statuo team, including the appointment of Natasha Haden as Construction Manager. 

Haden joined Statuo from Built, where she led a series of flagship projects including State Buildings and His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth.

Managing Director of Statuo Group and Milieu Creative, Davina Bester says Harvey’s appointment marks a new era for the business as it extends the quality of its architecture and design services into built-form.

Harvey says he looks forward to leading the team to deliver a holistic approach to property that embodies the quality of Mileu Creative.

“Leading the Milieu Creative and Statuo Group is an extremely exciting prospect. With a team of creative experts at the helm, we look forward to collectively adopting an end-to-end approach to property and construction — from establishment through to delivery, applying meticulous detail at every stage,” says Harvey. 

Operating as one holistic team, Milieu Creative and Statuo Group are underpinned by a group of interdisciplinary design, development and construction specialists that are united in the belief that space should be an all-encompassing experience that’s reflective of the purpose they serve. Collectively, the group now employs over 40 specialists in space across Australia. 

Testament to its collective approach to delivery, both companies recently relocated under one roof in the group’s new Subiaco head office, which was designed, developed and constructed by the in-house team. 

Statuo Group delivers residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use projects that maximise value and optimise the user experience. Together with Milieu Creative, the group has delivered several end-to-end projects as one team.
