Apartments

We have been designing apartments for over twenty years and have designed over 8,000 units.

Having trained under architects who were developers themselves, our approach is unique within architecture as we understand the needs of developers. We have a systematised approach to designing apartment buildings. Within most architectural firms, there is a competing dynamic between the needs of the developer and the artistic desires of the architect. Our approach allows us to synthesize these two viewpoints into one harmonious process.

We know how to maximise your site's potential before we have even put pencil to paper.

Our Director, Craig Taylor, has worked on apartment and mixed use buildings for over 30 years. Below is a selected project history covering his work over this time where he was engaged with other firms, usually as the Lead Architect for the projects and the apartment and mixed use projects at red blue.
