We design houses, cultural buildings and public spaces in Australia and internationally. We respond to each client's brief sensitively and creatively to deliver projects that are socially and environmentally sustainable. Our approach is strategic yet intuitive, creating buildings that are rich in ideas yet highly pragmatic. The practice was founded... in 2007 by Andrew Burns. In 2011 we were selected unanimously from a field of 154 international entries by a jury chaired by Tadao Ando for the Australia House project in Japan. In that same year, Andrew was awarded the 60th Anniversary Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship to undertake an exchange programme at the Architechfture Foundation, London. In 2012 the practice was a finalist in the National Worker's Memorial competition Canberra, awarded first prize in an invited competition to transform a forgotten pocket at Gibbon's Rent into London's newest park and awarded the inaugural Fugitive Structures project at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation. In 2013 Andrew Burns received the NSW Emerging Architect Prize and the Jorn Utzon Award for International Architecture. In 2014 the practice received the British Society Garden Designers award for Community Space for the Gibbon's Rent project in London. The practice undertakes art / architectural installations, has been exhibited at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and has permanent installation at Heide Museum of Modern Art.Read More
