About

studioplusthree is an award-winning architecture practice based in Sydney. We are focused on the design of bespoke residential and cultural projects, following our three core values.

Nature
Access to light, air, views and landscape are key features of our work. We value the inherent beauty of natural materials and light. We are committed to designing in a way that is sustainable, specific to place, and built to last.

Craft
We believe in the use of skill and craftmanship to make enduring buildings. We design thoughtfully and deliberately, respecting the experience and knowledge of those we work with.
We are specific about details, the qualities of materials, and how buildings are assembled.

People
At the centre of our work is how spaces feel. We aim to create something special for each of our projects that reflects who it is designed for, and the place it is in. We seek to collaborate with clients that share this ambition, working closely together to create buildings and spaces that are welcoming, generous, calm and comfortable.

The studio was established in 2014 by directors and co-founders Simon Rochowski and Julin Ang, who lead a team of skilled creative designers.

studioplusthree has been recognised in national and international awards for its work, receiving the national Houses Award for Cremorne Point Apartment, and in 2021 being nominated for the Dezeen Awards 'Emerging Architect of the Year'. 

The studio has received the national Australian Interior Design Award for Installation Design, a NSW Architecture Award for Small Project Architecture, and in 2023 the studio was shortlisted the NSW Architecture Awards Emerging Architect Prize. The work of the studio has been published widely in Australian and international design media.

Testimonials

studioplusthree were outstanding across all aspects of the design and build process and their attention to detail was second to none.

They are a creative and pragmatic team who combine aesthetics and functionality to deliver a unique end product with beatiful architectural features.

Patrick Verlaine, Owner, Alba (Clovelly Beach House)

Within a modest home, the architects have combined a clear spatial diagram with a dialogue of texture and colour to distinguish, enrich and unify the old and new elements of the house. A sophisticated play of spatial and material associations.

studioplusthree is as much a philosophy collective as it is an architecture practice. This willingness to push boundaries is a lynchpin of studioplusthree's architectural output.

Nor is studioplusthree your ordinary studio. The multidisciplinary practice is unafraid to push the boundaries between disciplines.
