During that time we have earned the trust and respect of our clients to become one of the country's leading architectural practices.

Building Relationships

We know that our clients place great value in the working relationships we build with them. Taking time to understand their business needs and aspirations has resulted in a high proportion of repeat business.

We have been able to provide consistency to our clients through the longstanding directors who have developed a deep understanding of our client’s specific needs, expectations and aspirations.

Designing Value

Good Architecture adds value and our ambition is always to create value for our clients through good design, through increasing site viability, improving land values and creating a better living and built environment. We enjoy what we do and delight in seeing a finished project that works for the client, site and community.

We approach each project with an open mind. Our value lies in the ability to understand and exploit a specific site's constraints and opportunities. We are proud of our record of achieving more for our clients than they had anticipated and our ability to generate both enhanced value and design quality.

Risland Albany

10,861sqm

Located on a gently-sloping, rectangular site beside the roundabout where Munroe Lane meets Don McKinnon Drive, Risland Albany has a natural north-south orientation which allows for all apartments to face east or west for sun and views.

Although it does not give the biggest yield the preferred scheme is comprised of 3 buildings ranging in scale and form. Building 1 is the largest and highest form which occupies the east of the site. It allows for sun into units from the north, east and west. Building 2 comprises of two typologies with a lower building to the north and southern end extending up to 5 floors. Building 3 is a smaller form with its height aligning with the smaller northern end of Building 2.
