Architecture Republic knows Sydney

Sydney is a spectacular city in a spectacular landscape. It has, however, a challenging architectural heritage. Despite having the world’s best climate, most Sydney homes are damp, cold, and draughty. Using the best sustainable practices, we work on anything from terraces to knockdown-rebuilds. We love paying homage to the rich and beautiful architectural heritage of the city. Often, we incorporate colours and forms from these older homes into our new buildings. Our team are are experts at navigating Sydney’s tangled planning system. From beachfront homes to the Blue Mountains, we will help you build your dream home.

“Architecture Republic consulted with us for the entire design process and really listened to what we wanted. Everything we discussed was given a chance and their designs were creative, diverse and truly phenomenal.”

Bachelor of Architecture (UNSW) Bachelor of Arts (UNSW)

Growing up in Sydney, I developed a deep appreciation for our city’s diverse heritage. In fact, my passion for architecture began in a Federation home in Sydney. We renovated it three times before I finished highscool. I studied at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) under renowned architect Glenn Murcutt. Since starting Architecture Republic in 2011, I have combined my two passions. One, creating beautiful spaces and the other, a commitment to sustainable design.

At Architecture Republic, we celebrate Australian open-plan architecture. We create spaces that not only fulfill your needs but are also beautiful and connect to the environment. I look forward to bringing my passion for Sydney’s architecture to your project.

Bachelor of Arts (Hons – ENU), Advanced Diploma of Building Design (CIT)

I am a Scottish building designer with a fine-arts background. Having grown up in Glasgow, I have a great understanding for heritage buildings. Particularly Victorian era homes like terraces and bungalows. This has influenced my passion for preserving architectural heritage and designing workable renovations. I enjoy combining my understanding of heritage architecture with sustainable design principles. Every day I strive to make the best of each project, no matter where we are starting from.

I established Architecture Republic in 2011 to solve architectural problems. I am drawn to the unique challenges presented by Sydney’s homes. From the damp brick federation homes to the midcentury roofs with leaks, each issue needs a smart solution. I am dedicated to transforming Sydney’s homes into functional and beautiful spaces. Similarly, every new home has its own problems to solve. Having studied at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Kensington, I understand the city’s architecture. I am dedicated to translating your vision into a beautiful, practical reality.

Bachelor of Engineering (NTU “KhPI”, Ukraine)

I’ve worked as a drafter and 3D artist for over 6 years and joined Architecture Republic in 2021. From the very beginning, I was swept up by the team’s passion for homes, especially in the City of Sydney. Working on homes in this vibrant city is both challenging and exciting. I have a strong affection for 3D modeling. It’s a magical feeling, creating beautiful houses from a blank screen. Looking ahead, I am excited to shape architecture of Sydney, one home at a time.
