Our design aims

Sassi Chamberlain Architects is a practice specialised in sustainable design. We aim to create buildings that benefit clients and users, while enhancing the community environment and impacting minimally on the natural environment. We design for longevity and to create sophisticated and contemporary spaces.

The practice puts emphasis on responding to clients' requirements. We see our role as one of facilitating informed decisions and supporting the project development through skilful design and efficient project management. Design proposals and project briefs are developed in consultation with clients and user groups and in response to the needs of all parties. Several design and building solutions are typically developed and supported with sufficient advice for the clients to make an informed decision. We advise clients on the best options to satisfy their needs involving the planning, design, procurement and building methods appropriate for their development.

In addition to a responsive brief development and strategic project planning, we are concerned with creating imaginative designs through the resourceful use of a simple palette of materials and attention to detail. It aims to create environments that enhance physical and psychological well being within the practical constraints that dominate any project.
