About the
Professional

Windiate Architects is a dynamic boutique architectural practice established by Gary Windiate in 2008. Hands-on in each of our projects, Gary is a highly experienced and seasoned architect having previously worked within a number of leading architectural practices in both the UK and Australia for over 20 years.

Our multi-disciplinary team has experience in every facet of contemporary architecture and shares Gary’s passion for translating our clients’ boldest visions into reality – and giving buildings a vibrant new lease of life.

We understand that today’s space-conscious urban environments call for smart, precise and perceptive architectural solutions. We proudly specialise in customised residential projects that require a little more empathy and understanding; a tight urban space that calls for bright sunlight to illuminate its finer features; elegant modern materials, and reinvigorated historical character, where required.

Through a close and responsive relationship with each of our clients, we create beautiful architectural designs that accomplish the delicate balance necessary to create an inviting and perpetually enriching home.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
