ARCH

PROJECTS
The design work of ARCH embodies our commitment to people, place, planet and purpose. We are the only national firm of community architects in Australia and our team have specialist expertise in complex facilities including clinical planning, sports and aquatic facilities design and educational campuses.

Our partnership with AWF is a natural alignment of shared goals to design resilient civic infrastructure, engage local communities in participatory design, promote sustainable practices and contribute to humanitarian architecture through research and education.

Since 1958, ARCH has been designing inspirational places in Australia and internationally, we were previously known as Suters Architects.

Our architectural, interior design and specialist clinical planning work covers hospitals, learning places, seniors living, sport and leisure, hospitality, residential, workplace, science, industry and civic facilities. We are dedicated to connecting, nurturing, and sustaining communities through our projects. We create enhanced experiences for end users and clients, leading to tangible community benefits with a focus on designing specialised community facilities that support learning, healing, recreation, work, living, and overall wellbeing.

Our values of designing with people, place, planet and purpose underpin each decision and action. We design with:

- people – community, clients, you and us;
- place – where we live, work, play, and thrive;
- planet – it’s what sustains us, and what we protect, and;
- purpose – embracing inspirations that fuel passions and drive us to do better every day.

In 2020, we achieved zero carbon for business operations and sustained that performance based on verifiable data. Our published Sustainability Action Plan and our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan demonstrate we are committed to progressing our plans with our team, clients and partners.

For more than 65 years we have been acknowledged as a leader in successful community infrastructure and we are respected for our ability to deliver innovative solutions to meet complex planning and design challenges.
