SGKS ARCH

• Collaborate
  Collaboration is at our core, ego is left at the door. We listen and learn to authentically translate your vision. We strive to gain a genuine understanding of the people behind the project, to create a unique solution every time. Our collaborative process ensures that we also bring together the most effective and experienced team to navigate the complexities, whilst making the experience one for you to enjoy.

• Craft
  Behind every project is a story of craftmanship that goes beyond the aesthetic. Our principles provide solutions that efficiently resolve design challenges to maximise space, buildability and liveability. Sustainability figures prominently, never an after-thought, to ensure we minimise the impact on the environment. We balance fluidity with rigor which allows us to negotiate constraints such as budget, schedule and complex site conditions.

• Create
  We are a design-driven collective who can innately balance creativity with commercial priorities for our clients. Our shared love of contemporary design and appreciation of historical architecture is what generates thoughtfully considered mixed-use, commercial and public projects that make an active contribution to Melbourne’s urban fabric. Creativity is foster in our studio 

We take a consultative, collaborative approach to every project.

We partner closely with clients to define the brief and navigate all project parameters. Our work is underpinned by a genuine understanding of the individuals who will eventually inhabit the buildings that we create.

Our unique design aesthetic is contemporary and thoughtfully conceived. We are deft space planners, skilled in developing layouts that optimize space and liveability.

Sustainability figures prominently in our approach. We always ensure our projects minimise the impact on the environment. Our buildings are low maintenance and will endure time.

We balance our love of design with a pragmatic approach. Our design solutions deliver contemporary architectural expression in conjunction with commercial imperatives. Throughout our personalised and detailed planning process, we skilfully negotiate any practical constraints such as budget, schedule and complex site conditions.
