Create Architecture

Our architecture is always site-specific and driven by passive design principles in order to inform an environmentally appropriate response.

Every intention is centred on client fulfilment with equal regard to factors such as budget, operational efficiency, long-term maintenance, comfort and compliance. Our philosophy and process is largely driven by a combination of five fundamental values of Relationships, Connections, Opportunities, Lifestyle and Space.

We are a team of dedicated design professionals with a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences. Our creativity is influenced by these experiences which are often drawn from external influences, whether it be travel, outdoor activities or family.

Scott originally established an architectural drafting practice on Sydney’s northern beaches in 1992 and continued to hone his skills in this competitive residential market for ten years. After graduating from The University of New South Wales with first class honours in 2001 he was lured to the Tweed Coast to work with renowned Brisbane based and award winning Architect Geoffrey Pie on the new coastal township of Casuarina Beach.

Over the next 20 years, Scott earnt a distinguished reputation and developed a prolific body of work consisting of over five hundred built projects stretching the east coast of New South Wales and Queensland.

Today sees this energetic team of like-minded creatives building on the tested principles of past to expand the practice into the future.

Create Architecture is excited to be embarking on a new chapter, opening a satellite office in the alpine region of New South Wales - Jindabyne.

The area has been identified by the NSW Government has as a Special Activation Precinct with funding to ensure the region is established as a year-round destination. Change is inevitable but should occur in a way that celebrates the uniqueness of this special area and caters for the diversity of its community. We are confident that we can have a positive contribution to the architectural landscape, using our skills of understanding local environment and adapting that to the unique Alpine region to create timeless architecture.

We have undertaken several projects for family and friends in the region and look forward to building on this experience, connecting with its people and creating lasting investments with a strong regional identity.
