Bijl Architecture is an ambitious Sydney practice seeking to challenge the status quo. We believe that our homes, schools and places of gathering are an expression of our communities' collective values and hopes, for now and for the future. Through our work, we make these aspirations resolutely life-affirming and real.
At Bijl Architecture, our practice is guided by the belief that architecture must bring enduring surprise and delight. It must improve our connections to each other, to ourselves, and to future generations. Our residential projects are borne from an empathic, deeply personal expression of our clients' vision for living; our educational and public architecture progresses our shared social and built legacy.
By acknowledging the traditional owners of the lands, our practice embraces an open design culture - to encourage ourselves and our clients to learn about country and to make reconciliation actions. From this philosophical framework we create architecture that is impeccably detailed, grounded in economic mindfulness, perceptive, and proudly Bijl - alive with light, character; sometimes mercurial, always striving.
