Our purpose is clear: to design with integrity
This focus drives every aspect of our studio – from the relationships we build with you, to our commitment to sustainable design, community and quality of life. We listen carefully, respond to context and climate, and design spaces that are thoughtful, generous and grounded in place.
Our inclusive approach allows us to fully explore the individuality of each project. This way of working has seen AOG Architects recognised as “one to watch” by Houses magazine and The Australian, and continues to shape the way we practice every day.
Conceptual thinking meets good, honest design
Our work is driven by clear, enduring architecture that’s grounded in place, not a one-size-fits-all style.
Based in Cleveland, on Quandamooka Country, and established in 2016, AOG Architects works with organisations and private clients who want distinctive, legible buildings and homes that are built to last and contribute meaningfully to their context.
Rather than applying a fixed aesthetic, we begin with your brief, your site and the people involved. Through clear conceptual thinking and open conversation, we develop designs that are attuned to how people use and experience each place – now and over time.
We stay intentionally boutique so your project never feels like one of many. You work directly with our core team from first conversation through to completion, with a consistent design voice, clear communication and a genuinely collaborative process at every stage.
MEET THE TEAM
At the core of AOG is an approachable team working collaboratively to enrich our projects with their diverse range of design skills. This culture of collective critical thinking brings multiple perspectives to our work, ensuring we arrive at the best design solution for each project.
Specialisations
Our team is experienced across a range of project types and scales, including:
Master planning
Social and affordable housing
High-end and bespoke residential
Institutional and educational projects
Civic and community architecture
Across these areas, our focus is consistent: to create architecture that improves everyday life, strengthens connection to community and Country, and responds carefully to site, climate and landscape.
