Our People
From humble beginnings in 1998, we are now one of the state’s largest studios. Our highly skilled team of Architects, Interior Designers, Architectural Technicians and business staff bring together a diverse mix of local, national and global experience, sector specialisations, and different skillsets and perspectives.
Our Process
Curiosity, insight and craft define the mindset of each phase of our projects. The curiosity phase interrogates the project drivers, brief, metrics and benchmarking to formulate the ‘big ideas’. Insight translates these findings into a strong project concept that forms the foundation for future decisions. Craft is where we strategise the delivery of the project, applying our team’s collective smarts to drive an efficient project delivery.
Our aim is to form strong working relationships, both internally and externally, by aligning and bonding our client and team through a clearly articulated concept, working together towards a shared vision.
We are proud to be a carbon neutral certified studio
As designers, we have an ethical responsibility to decrease the impact the practice of architecture has on our planet. Our official carbon neutral certification aligns with our studio’s ‘why’ and was born out of our commitment to being a signatory of the global Architects Declare movement. It is the first key milestone in our ongoing sustainability journey to provide a more sustainable environment for future generations.
