ArchieNovus takes a holistic approach to architecture. We see the big picture. Located in the Inner West suburb of Balmain, we have a great understanding of the Councils’ objectives and design controls for heritage listed buildings and those in heritage conservation areas.
We are aware that the work of an architect plays a significant role in shaping the future, for individuals and communities. We understand we are key players in the construction industry, therefore we believe we have a responsibility to ensure ecological, social and economic integrity and sustainability.
ArchieNovus believes architecture is both an art and a science. It is creative yet technical, innovative yet historical. It draws on and influences the human experience. We are architectural innovators, with experience as diverse as it is extensive. Excellence is our inspiration and we aim to achieve this by working with our clients to bring functional, sustainable and dynamic designs to life.
Inner West is our largest challenge and greatest success.
