FAQ

Atelier for architecture and urbanism

What are your fees?

Our fees are based on industry-average percentage of the projected cost of construction: 7-14% for full architectural services, 3.5-7% for design-only services. Generally the higher the construction budget, the lower our fee percentage.

Do you offer internships or work experience?

We can not offer internships or work experience but we mentor aspiring architects.

Do you have photos of finished projects?

No, generally speaking, for the following 3 reasons:

  1. We prefer to accept new commissions referred to us by existing clients. This means we can focus on actual work rather than marketing.
  2. We find it unhelpful to create an impression or expectation of a specific design style: our designs reflect our clients’ individual needs and wishes.
  3. Most of our work is residential. We respect our clients’ privacy and do not ask to publicise their homes. (If some do, it is on their own accord.)

Some of our other work may be visited or reviewed in independent literature or online.

Do you work interstate or internationally?

We work on projects across Australia, Europe, SE Asia and Oceania. Where required, we co-operate with local jurisdiction architects.

Do you take on pro bono projects?

Depending on circumstances we are able to reduce or waive fees.
