FAQ

Atelier for architecture and urbanism

What are your fees?

Our fees are based on industry-average percentage of the projected cost of construction, typically 7-14% for full architectural services, 3.5-7% for design and drafting only services. (The higher the construction budget, the lower the percentage.)

Do you offer internships or work experience?

We cannot offer internships or work experience; occasionally we do mentoring.

Do you have photos of your projects?

No, generally speaking, for the following reasons:

  1. We find it unhelpful to create an impression or expectation of a specific design style: our designs reflect our clients’ individual requirements and unique site conditions.
  2. Most of our work is residential. We respect our clients’ privacy and do not ask to photograph.
  3. We try to focus on actual work rather than marketing.

On request we provide examples of design drawings and visualisations.

(Some of our work may be visited or reviewed in independent literature and online.)

Do you work interstate or internationally?

Yes, we’ve worked on projects across Australia, Europe and Asia and will consider interesting work regardless of location. Where required, we co-operate with local jurisdiction architects.

Do you take on pro bono projects?

Depending on circumstances we may consider waiving or reducing our fee.
