The practice has worked rigorously over the last 10 years building on foundations for the next chapter of the practice. Their first book, Proemial, was released in 2017 as a means of evaluating and consolidating a discourse moving forward as the practice was evolving. The practice has won over 25 both local and International awards - often pushing the boundaries of just facilitating client briefs and making the most out of limited budgets. Notably - their project - Piazza Dell’Ufficio won best Interior Project of the Year and Best Small workplace of the Year at the 2019 Dezeen awards in London. Their work has been extensively published both locally in Australia and Internationally. The studio finds educational projects particularly rewarding as they have the ability to affect and expose the possibilities of design in multiple people’s lives (particularly kids), some of whom would not who some normally have the means or money to explore. Heading into their eleventh year of practice, they team is excited about commencing work on some larger-scale educational projects and budgets (AUD$15-25 million) yet still are adamant about maintaining interest in the smallest of projects and their infinite possibilities.
