For over 30 years, Arkhefield has been delivering impressive small to complex architectural designs to residents of Brisbane.

The firm is well known for creating designs that promote productivity, functionality and connectivity. We also like that they focused on people’s lifestyles so they can incorporate that while dissecting a project brief.

One of the most requested architects in this firm is Arch. Graham Nottle. What we like about him is that he helps clients flesh out their vision beyond what is written on their briefing document.

We’re impressed to see that Graham would always put himself in the shoes of his clients, making sure that what his team would come up with would suit their customer’s lifestyle. 

Another highlight about Graham is that he remains hands on for the entire duration of the project. Even after briefing his team, he makes sure to take the lead, providing personal updates to his clients.

On top of that, it’s quite notable that he’s into improving the transportation and infrastructure realm in the city. This tells us how it’s important for him to promote improved living in our society.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the office is only open on weekdays. We’ve also experienced some slow revert on our messages.

Nonetheless, we still think that they are worth the shot. We just need to provide a little understanding and patience on the firm’s busier days.

For over 40 years in the architectural and construction industry, Clements Clarke Architects has been a sound name among Brisbane households and commercial property owners.

One of the architectural guys behind the company is Arch. Nick Clarke. He is known for his versatile design knowledge, which definitely helps him create a wide range of styles for both commercial and residential projects.

On top of that, we love how Nick takes his complex projects seriously. We commend him for letting his clients join in collaborations just to present remarkable proposals with sound recommendations.

This tells us that he’s confident in presenting even his raw ideas to every member of the group, making us feel at ease knowing that Nick is committed to delivering top-notch quality design.

These guys even utilise their virtual reality architecture tool, allowing us to fully appreciate every design detail that goes beyond the typical 2D plans and static assets and impressions. 

We also love that we can easily reach out to him to discuss all aspects of the project. We think that this is a nice touch, knowing that they want to keep the coordination intact by keeping their clients in the loop.

We’ve also heard that a number of mechanical and electrical consulting engineers have also trusted the guys from Clements Clarke Architects because of their high attention to detail.

We think that the good words and recommendations from their satisfied industry partners led them to their growing client base.

However, reaching out to these guys may require a little patience as some email messages could be overlooked due to an increasing demand. Nonetheless, we still think that Clements Clarke Architects is worth the wait.

Since 2004, Base Architecture has been a known player in the industry of architecture and design.

What we find very impressive is their portfolio of historic building renovation and restorations. We think that it takes high attention to detail and talent to innovate an historic place, without taking away the value it has been known for.

We also love how they changed the local scene by incorporating their take on innovative design. We’re even pleased with how they created efficient workspaces, which helps encourage productivity and creativity among individuals.

One of the youngest yet highly requested architects in Base Architecture is Arch. Christina Solomon. What we like about her is that her architectural expertise is inspired by her travels and world explorations. 

We think that it definitely helps her combine the various cultures and traditions to the modern architectural scene, bringing a different taste to her clients.

Another notable thing about the firm is that their quality design and work are backed up with awards and recognitions from the industry.

In fact, they have won the 2017 Brisbane Architecture Awards for Interior Architecture Commendation and the 2017 QLD Architecture Awards for Residential Architecture Commendation, just to name a few.

However, it’s worth mentioning that they are only open Mondays to Fridays. This explains why it’s a bit challenging to get on a call with their team.

Joining our list of the best architects in Brisbane is Arch. Erhard Rathmayr from Refresh Studio for Architecture. His expertise is backed up with an architectural masters degree from Austria, as well as his thesis experience in Mexico.

Because of his remarkable experience and high education, he has won numerous academic awards. We’re even impressed that his Austrian architectural studio, Innocad, won him multiple awards.

This tells us that he has a great design and architectural influence, which explains why he’s been requested by many.

Aside from these awards, we love that the firm never stopped collecting recognitions, which signals quality workmanship. We’re even impressed to see how some projects have gained them at least three awards!

Another thing we love about this firm is that they work as a team, most especially when they encounter more complex sites. We’re pleased to see how they meticulously find better alternatives to maximise their overall planning.

Though Refresh Studio for Architecture doesn’t offer the friendliest rates in the industry, we still think that with their outstanding client relationships and expertise, they are still worth the shot.

On the other hand, we like how their team of designers and architects would collaborate with the skilled builders in the industry. It’s even notable how the architects from Refresh would highly consider the builders’ input.

This tells us that their clients’ opinions and visions are equally important. We’re even more impressed how they try to flesh those goals out to make it even more beautiful!

Another architectural firm that deserves a spot on this list is Wilson Architects. With its 132 years of continuous practise, we admire their team for keeping an eye for design innovation.

Because of this, the firm was able to attract a smart and talented pool of architects and designers, which helps them build their client base even further.

We love how the guys from Wilson Architects ensure that they continuously improve their services by reviewing their vision and purpose for the last twelve months. This tells us how they keep abreast with the recent changes in the architecture scene.

In their efforts of keeping up with the sustainable and contemporary designs in the present world of architecture, Arch. Michael Hartwich has been proactive enough to initiate and lead such collaborative projects in the industry.

We commend how he brainstorms with the entire team from the get-go, allowing everyone to impart ideas which are backed with great research and inspiration. We believe that this good process led them to their award-winning facilities.

It’s also commendable that they bag multiple awards per project. These skilled architects ensure to complete top-notch projects by reflecting their ambition, creative ideas, and intensive research.

They have won the 2021 AIA QLD Award for Sustainable Architecture and 2020 AIA QLD Award for Interior Architecture, just to name a few.

Overall, though their rates are considerably higher than its counterparts, we think that Arch. Michael Hartwich, along with the other architects in this firm are worth the investment.
