WD Architects has a strong commitment to sustainable design backed by years of experience. We integrate ideas that minimise the impact of the built environment on the natural environment. We approach architecture as an extension of the landscape to explore the opportunities present in the site and its relationship to the wider surroundings.
Social and functional interactions, and visual and physical connections are important elements. Considered manipulation of space, light, air and sound is essential. WD Architects takes a collaborative approach to design commissions to explore ideas, gain insights and flesh out design issues within our practice, with clients and user groups and with other consultants and experts engaged with a project.
Our experience covers many industry sectors including ecology, public, healthcare, commercial, transportation, education, arts, residential and industrial projects. We are based in the Noosa Hinterland and work throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and internationally.

Services
WD Architects approaches sustainability from the point of view of 'cradle-to-cradle' solutions. This means that the impact of building components and processes are considered from raw material through to transport, construction, life-cycle, performance and maintenance in the building, and at the end of the building's life when it is demolished or abandoned.
Our approach to energy-efficient design is "low tech when possible, high tech if necessary". This means we base our designs on sound principles rather than relying on expensive systems to fix poor design strategies. Our approach results in value for money for our clients, low long-term maintenance costs and low environmental impact.
We usually quote a fixed lump sum fee for a defined scope of work. This is broken down into stages to suit the project, typically: schematic design, design development, contract documentation and contract administration. Each stage represents an increase in detail as the project progresses from concept to construction.
WD Architects provides personalised architectural services from concept to completion. With a strong grounding in ecologically sustainable outcomes, we design with each client's priorities in mind while providing ideas, direction and coordination to achieve uplifting places to live and work. We can tailor the scope and extent of our services to suit the needs of each client and project.
WD Architects is committed to helping people improve the built environment in any and all ways possible. Whether you are renovating, extending, building new, or developing, we can tailor our services to suit. Our focus is to give straight-forward, useful and practical advice so that you can spend your money on improvements or new builds wisely.
