Design Excellence, a result of teamwork and collaboration.

Team

Archi­tec­ture today is rarely the work of one per­son but rather a col­lab­o­ra­tive process involv­ing mul­ti­ple skills and dis­ci­plines. We appre­ci­ate and acknowl­edge the con­tri­bu­tion of many archi­tects, design­ers and stu­dents who’ve worked with us in our stu­dio over the past decades.

Ed Lipp­mann

Ed Lipp­mann grad­u­at­ed with hon­ours from UNSW fol­low­ing a year in Bauhaus Mas­ter Mar­cel Breuer’s office in New York. A the­sis on the sig­nif­i­cance of tech­nol­o­gy in con­tem­po­rary Archi­tec­ture informed his approach to design.

The prac­tice was estab­lished in 1985 and dur­ing the ensu­ing decades, a range of res­i­den­tial, com­mer­cial, pub­lic and Indus­tri­al projects were realised. In recent years many of these projects have inter­faced with the pub­lic realm. Lippmann’s con­cern for urban­i­ty, the shape of cities and envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty have giv­en rise to books, pub­li­ca­tions and a radio series which he hosts in Sydney.

Col­lab­o­ra­tion

Close dia­logue with clients is fun­da­men­tal to cre­at­ing good archi­tec­ture. Beyond that, devel­op­ing syn­er­gy with our design team, con­sul­tants and author­i­ties is key to the process.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty

The sur­vival of our eco-sys­tem is the great­est chal­lenge con­fronting human­i­ty in our time. The design of cities and build­ings is cen­tral to the solu­tion and we pur­sue this respon­si­bil­i­ty on every project we undertake.

Awards

We appre­ci­ate and acknowl­edge the clients we’ve had the plea­sure of col­lab­o­rat­ing with. Trust and con­fi­dence has been reward­ed with remark­able, suc­cess­ful results – suc­cess for both the client and design team.

Pub­li­ca­tions.

Our engage­ment with Archi­tec­tur­al cul­ture is reflect­ed by the ideas we’ve pro­mot­ed and the projects we’ve deliv­ered. Books, pub­li­ca­tions, crit­i­cal reviews and news items about these projects extend back to the 1980’s. We’ve also expressed strong views on design, the built envi­ron­ment and glob­al sus­tain­abil­i­ty which have been wide­ly pub­lished and reported.
