Russell & George is an internationally recognised and award winning design practice employing architects, designers, theorists, strategists & urbanists.
We believe in good design as problem solving. We believe in spaces, buildings and cities that improve the way we live & work. We believe in efficiency in delivery and we believe in design that responds to site and social context, wherever that may be.
With offices in Australia & Italy we work globally. We have completed projects on four continents, in cities as diverse as New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Toronto and Rome. This is in addition to projects in New Zealand and five Australian states.
We continue to work with some of the world's most dynamic brands, leaders, institutions and individuals creating unique works that push, challenge and evolve our clients' businesses as well as the way they live.
Led by Directors Ryan Russell and Byron George, Russell & George can deliver successful projects at any scale from object to urban. With backgrounds in social theory and hospitality, both Directors approach every project with a thorough examination of the unique set of circumstances that led to the project in the first place.
The studio operates across a variety of sectors and applies the same personal and lateral approach to any design problem, leading to outcomes that are as diverse as our clients.
Depending on your needs, we can offer a full design service from an initial design consult to managing the entire process (including contract administration) of a large architectural project.
Whatever your project is, we build and maintain a live three dimensional computer aided design model of it for the duration of the project. For larger projects we engage in building information modeling with external consultants.
The communication of our designs to you may include 3D visualisations and animations, rapid prototyping via 3D printing technologies, hand sketches, spreadsheets & prose.
