Communication
We aim to be client focussed and driven. In every stage of the project, we listen to our clients and encourage effective and open communication. The line of communication is always two-way, and client feedback and contribution is highly valued.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a core belief of our practice. Our belief in the benefits and importance of environmentally sustainable design is derived from a passion to create buildings that respect and respond to both natural and urban ecosystems. We believe in a cohesive and well-rounded approach to architectural design: one which accounts for environmental, societal and financial sustainability throughout the lifetime of each building.
community Values
Our values come from a desire to positively contribute to the community. We believe in the following quote by George Bernard Shaw: I am of the opinion that our life belongs to community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
Teamwork
Throughout the design process, we actively encourage client involvement in order to provide a clear understanding of what is truly possible. We design in collaboration with relevant consultants to ensure the ideal outcome for every project.

FEATURED PROJECTS
Practice Profile | 7
RESIDENTIAL
Contemporary 20-unit development forming Stage Two of the Graceville Riverside Village mixed-use development.
Project Type Status Unit Development Completed
The River Park Villas were designed to incorporate views to the park it faces. A modern theme has been used, featuring 20 apartments set within three storeys, plus a basement carpark. Lift access is available to all floors, and only two apartments are placed per floor in each block to ensure privacy and exclusivity.
RESIDENTIAL
Ascot Residence
Ascot, QLD
An initial brief calling for a contextually sensitive, yet modern home worthy of its surroundings resulted in a fresh invention of the traditional Queenslander home. Throughout the residence, a subdued palette is contrasted against the tactility of natural materials such as timber and stone. An abundance of light, combined with the careful selection of premium materials and finishes, allows the beauty of subtropical Queensland to be richly conveyed throughout an airy and comfortable interior.

COMMUNITY
EXISTING BUILDING
A cost effective, contemporary redevelopment of an existing classroom block, greatly enhancing student comfort and amenity.
Project Type Status Client School Classroom Redevelopment Completed Grace Lutheran Primary School
A drab existing classroom block, complete with cage-like grills for the upper level, was redeveloped into a contemporary, airy learning facility. Breakout areas and the creation of balconies between classrooms allow for new possibilities in shared learning. Feature panels also serve as students port racks, while perforated mesh, MiniOrb panel highlights and metal balustrades provide a contemporary aesthetic. These features allowed the opening of verandah spaces, greatly increasing natural light and ventilation to upper level classrooms.
COMMUNITY
Utilising a contemporary aesthetic, the building is a modern interpretation of the ideals of the traditional Queenslander.
Project Type Status Client School Library Completed Grace Lutheran Primary School
Orientation and geometry, combined with ample openings and interior voids, capture breezes and encourage cross ventilation while connecting the library building with the school campus. An open, flexible interior allows for interactive displays, installations and varied layouts, optimising the space for primary school learning.
