The Architecture of Living
fjcstudio has worked on a range of significant residential commissions and is a recognised leader in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban design. With studios in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the UK, fjcstudio undertakes residential commissions both nationally and internationally.
The studio has completed significant and challenging projects throughout Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, the UK and most recently in the USA, with the results being acclaimed through receipt of the highest Australian and international architectural and construction awards.
Our living work includes student accommodation, hotels and hospitality, build to rent and housing through the Housing Delivery Authority pathway.
Our experience in producing high-quality residential developments is demonstrated by past and current projects such as the King & Phillip Residences in Sydney’s CBD, the Harrington Collection apartments in Sydney’s historic Rocks Precinct, Charlie Parker apartments at Harris Park in Sydney’s West, Anadara apartments at Barangaroo for Lend Lease, Ovo Apartments at Green Square for Mirvac and Wonderland Apartments at Central Park for Frasers Property.
These sustainable projects demonstrate the studio’s residential and mixed use expertise and innovation, providing significant benefit to the client while enhancing the public domain and fabric of the city.
Our approach to multi-residential design is always to seek a deep understanding of each site’s unique qualities. We believe that no two projects are the same, and we tailor every design to respond to the specific characteristics of its location. By carefully considering the physical, cultural, and environmental context, our multi-residential buildings are not only functional but also deeply connected to their surroundings and their communities. This specificity in design ensures that each project feels like a natural extension of its environment and its community, enhancing both the site and the experience of its residents.
Innovation in residential design necessitates a thoughtful alignment with market opportunities and the unique characteristics of the locale. Amidst increasing urban density, the quality and appeal of both individual apartment homes and shared facilities are pivotal to a project’s success. Contemporary markets demand not only enhanced sustainability but also greater flexibility in lifestyle options. Through a highly integrated design approach, encompassing architecture, interiors, and landscape, we aim to craft genuine homes and foster vibrant, connected communities.
At the heart of our practice lies a commitment to our clients, grounded in a human-centric and ecologically responsive architectural approach. Our work balances development opportunities with sustainable outcomes, always guided by principles of environmental and social responsibility. Each design emerges from a rigorous analysis of its unique constraints and opportunities, with the ultimate goal of achieving excellence in design and planning.
This design approach is consistent regardless of project scope or budget, as design excellence requires a conscientious effort at all stages. It is the planning and foresight during the early conceptual design stages that can lead to real value for money and will ultimately result in projects that are cherished and maintained by the client and occupiers.
