Adriano Pupilli Architects
Website
Adriano Pupilli Architects is an award-winning Sydney and South Coast based architecture practice. We design smart, finely-tuned buildings and spaces for home-owners, commercial and government clients and community organisations. Our architecture is clean, contemporary and vibrant, celebrating the inherent qualities of raw building elements and connecting people and place.

We believe great architecture should evolve out of the culture of the places we work. Our architectural responses are informed and enriched by a respect for this local culture and heritage. Check out some our latest news articles below. We connect people with place, celebrating and creating a heightened awareness of the landscape and natural seasonal cycles, allowing it to continually inspire, delight and surprise.

Services
Based in Sydney and the South Coast of NSW, we work with a range of clients around the country, from home-owners to commercial and government clients and community organisations. We operate across a wide range of sectors, and have extensive experience designing at micro and macro levels.
Our approach is part instinctual and part careful manoeuvring - all guided by years of industry experience, and extensive knowledge of the latest design tools, sustainable building technologies and planning regulations. Our architectural responses are informed and enriched by a respect for local culture and heritage, along with the everyday routines, rituals and future aspirations of the occupants.
We're located in Manly on Sydney's Northern Beaches and work across the greater Sydney area. A satellite office is located on the NSW South Coast. We also operate Australia-wide and internationally - from Alice Springs and Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands to Rome, Venice, Katmandu, Sumba and beyond.

From a small vision a dream house grew! We couldn't be more thankful to Adriano and Matt for creating our home. Every step of the way was patiently guided by them. Nothing was ever an issue and, even when we wanted to make late additions, they were considered, improved and incorporated. We're also glad we engaged them to manage the build otherwise we wouldn't have achieved the level of detail that's been delivered. Grateful for how we feel about working with them is an understatement.

APA were excellent in all aspects of design, council approvals, follow up, rapid replies to queries etc. I unhesitatingly recommend them.

Adriano and the team at APA were incredible to deal with. From their initial design concept right through to the finished product.
We were blown away by Adriano’s vision, we had no idea what could become of our awkwardly built house.
Adriano and Matt turned what was a rabbit warren, with many corridors and doors that lead to absolutely nowhere, into a light filled oasis with loads of space for our family to enjoy.
What they achieved, working within a strict budget and within the existing shell of our house was very impressive. Challenges were faced head on and overcome with creative solutions

Our renovation experience was an immensely enjoyable one working with APA. Their creativity and vision opened up a world of possibilities we hadn't imagined. This was then executed with a high degree of professionalism and experience. The comfort and pleasure we take in our new apartment is almost entirely attributable to APA - thank you!

Adriano was very patient and accommodating while he took us through the design process which we could visualise not only with traditional plans, but with 3D walk through and sketches as well. Despite our difficult design issues and our uncertainty of what we wanted, he guided us through various options and worked with us to finish with an attractive workable house. We highly recommend him!
