GrahamHandleyArchitects

Our approach

"Highly collaborative. Always creative. Thoroughly individual"

We don't have a standard house style because we understand that every project is unique

We approach each one with a completely open mind, freeing ourselves – and our clients – from any preconceived ideas about how to arrive at an architectural answer. The results are site specific solutions that are totally bespoke to our clients’ needs.

We believe engaging in open and ongoing dialogue empowers you to be an active participant in the creative process. We listen. We explore alternatives. Above all, we do our best to understand how you want to live, work and function. And through that insight, we help you realise the full potential of your project.

So, whether you’re a developer working on a large scale commercial project or a private individual looking to remodel your property, we’ll work collaboratively with you to translate your vision as the project unfolds.
