We create design experiences that contribute to a better quality of life. We make spaces for families to grow and live better together and develop products that connect with the environment they are a part of. We collaborate – with each other, our clients and other makers – to find solutions specific to the process we are engaged with.
Our work encompasses residential, commercial and government architecture; public and private landscape projects; as well as the design and manufacture of furniture, lighting and fabrication. Our directors have over 25 years of combined experience and were drawn together to create an inclusive practice that is truly outcome orientated. We have won awards across a range of disciplines connected to the built environment that recognise our design excellence and innovation, along with our commitment to sustainable buildings and the environment. Our innovative designs are focused on material honesty, thermal performance and constructability, as we strive for affordable and responsive architecture that contributes to the public domain.
We are not focused on specific sectors – if it’s an interesting project, we’re interested in discussing it.
Our process is an evolving framework, enabling us to work toward your goals. It has been developed to reduce risk and maximise opportunity.
You define the goals that we work together to achieve. We engage those goals to clarify a long-term value and outcome for the project.
During the concept phase, we look at the building from the outside-in, focusing on key areas and relationships.
The detail phase is about how things work, from the interior to the exterior.
The resolution phase is about the nuts and bolts, getting everything we need for the builders on paper.
Finally, we engage with contractors directly, working with them to make their job easy and the building process simple.
