With a strong track record in the core areas of architecture, interiors, urban design and planning, Architectus has specialist expertise in education, public buildings, commercial, industrial, residential, aviation and transport, sustainable design, retail and hotels. We believe that each project has its own unique context and narrative. Our projects not only not only look good but are practical, buildable and responsive to our client's needs. Our projects result from good design; strategic thinking and a deep understanding of how buildings, spaces, places and people work. We create environments that are innovative, great to inhabit, practical, attractive, and sophisticated in environmental approach. We are great collaborators with a responsive and responsible design and delivery process underpinned by our approach to: • Need – understanding client objectives and social needs, creating design solutions that generate added value for our clients and the community • Function – establishment of design criteria that respond to our client’s brief and aspirations, and that plans for effective building operation and usability. • Place – appreciation of the wider development impact, and response that is sensitive to context whether urban, suburban or rural. • Environment – creating developments that embody sustainable and ecological interdependence, and that consider the long-term impact on the built environment and on society. • Research – commitment to research and knowledge development that delivers excellence in design and shared knowledge with our clients and the community. • Tectonic – rigorous assessment of methods and materials, continually improving design and construction processes to ensure simplicity, performance and suitability. • Communication – a collaborative approach built upon the foundation of effective engagement and open communication with our client and key stakeholders. At Architectus we harness the skill and experience of our many professionals, collaborating across projects and regions in Australia, New Zealand and China, to imagine the previously unimagined; reflecting our core principles of responsiveness and responsibility and efficiently delivering enduring, successful and memorable places and spaces.
