Philosophy

Established in 1998, Elenberg Fraser is an architecture firm that revolutionises the way architecture is practiced. Combining the creativity of a design studio with the outcome-orientation of a commercial firm, we believe that design-driven and market-driven are not opposed to each other. In fact high design value and commercial success follow on from one another.

We utilise our professional skills to the best of our ability in order to protect the interests of all stakeholders in the built environment. We build within the city as if it is our own, and we are proud of the result and conscious of the effect that our buildings have on both the city around and the inhabitants within. We have an ongoing program of research and development and internal qualitative analysis. We are committed to absolute best practice. Our mission is to carry out ambitious building projects at multiple scales and programmes, with a commitment to innovation, design and sustainability.

Elenberg Fraser consistently delivers high design value that realise commercial objectives and raises the bar in architecture through innovation. In rethinking architecture's services and products, Elenberg Fraser have developed a unique six step process that allows the design delivery that meets commercial expectations. This process has been proven in over 100 projects and $AUD1Billion worth of project work. With 10 years of experience, in high rise residential, commercial and one off boutique projects, including Huski Apartments, Site One, Liberty Tower, Gingerboy and the Saints developments, we have the knowledge to bridge the gap between creativity and commerce.
