After graduating from the University of Melbourne with honours in 1992, Dominic set about establishing a successful architectural award winning practice, Bagnato Marian Guarino Architects that undertook a variety of projects from individual homes, multi -unit developments, residential warehouse conversions and boutique commercial work. In 2007 Dominic left his former practice to establish Bagnato Architects with Marie Bagnato to concentrate on producing architecture of the highest level using natural materials & luxurious finishes for a timeless appeal.
To obtain a greater understanding of the construction industry, Dominic throughout his career gained valuable experience working on construction sites by building various private projects, ultimately obtaining a commercial & domestic builders license, further enhancing his expertise and skill, all driven to enhance the clients experience .
