Building a Diverse Portfolio
Whether designing minimalist homes like the Bunker House, timber coastal residences, or complex commercial projects such as hotels and churches, they approach every project with fresh eyes. “Every client’s different, every site’s different, so every building is different,” Richard Dalman, the Director of Dalman Architects, emphasises.
Their willingness to explore new materials, suppliers, and methods underscores their adaptability. “If our clients want a particular material we haven’t heard of, we’ll research through ArchiPro,” Richard shares. This is reflected in the network section of their profile, which showcases 38 supplier and professional connections, broadening their reach to not only their profile pages, but also their connections’ profiles too. This openness ensures their designs remain client-focused and open to new materials from innovative manufacturers. “We don’t like being pigeonholed—that’s not us,” he adds.
Featured Project: The Bunker House
The Bunker House, a minimalist masterpiece and one of ArchiPro’s most popular Project of the Month features, exemplifies their bespoke approach. The clean lines, thoughtful integration with the environment, and striking aesthetic have captured widespread attention. “We’re certainly impressed with how many people viewed the Bunker House feature video,” notes Richard. The full production film was shared via ArchiPro’s channels, including Project Page, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, garnering over 184,000 views. Short-format videos amplified the campaign’s reach further, collectively viewed over half a million times.
The Bunker House content produced in collaboration with ArchiPro has proven to be a powerful asset for expanding Dalman Architects’ reach. The project was advertised in a dedicated marketing email by ArchiPro, which saw impressive results, with more than 13,000 subscribers opening the email to view the project.
The campaign also helped spark a new conversation with a commercial client due to the project demonstrating Dalman’s capability to execute high-end residential designs.
“A lot of our commercial clients didn’t know we design houses, and the Bunker House has helped change that perception,” Richard explains. By bridging the gap between their commercial and residential portfolios, the project has further cemented Dalman Architects’ versatility and expertise.

Maximising ArchiPro's Value
Since joining ArchiPro this year, Dalman Architects has embraced the platform’s features with enthusiasm. Their participation in ArchiPro’s drop-in sessions, run by ArchiPro’s Client Success Team, has been instrumental in optimising their presence. “The drop-in sessions offer a crucial opportunity to ask key questions and ensure we maximise our use of ArchiPro's services. It’s refreshing to see that ArchiPro is not just a hands-off subscription service; you genuinely strive to help each business promote itself effectively,” says James Mason, the Practice Manager at Dalman Architects.
The impact of ArchiPro’s support goes beyond guidance. “This has been one of the best marketing investments we've made,” adds James, who has been actively involved in uploading their latest projects, including the Water House. They have enjoyed leveraging the content ArchiPro produced for the Bunker House across their own social media channels and can use the high-end photography for further promotion in the future.
Looking Ahead
Dalman Architects is leveraging the momentum from their featured project to further establish themselves in the residential market while continuing to excel in commercial spaces, with projects like a $100 million hotel underway.
As they continue their journey with ArchiPro, the team is optimistic about the platform’s role in driving visibility and fostering connections. Dalman Architects is a testament to the power of adaptability, creativity, and meaningful partnerships. Through their work with ArchiPro, they are not only building extraordinary spaces but also redefining the boundaries of their brand.
