It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of new Practice Directors and Associates.
Architecture is highly collaborative and as the portfolio of our projects broadens, the intelligence, sophistication and culture of our team constantly evolves.
The realm in which this happens is led by the Associates, Practice Directors and Principals – and these positions are generated from the need to instigate, manage and nurture projects and people.
The new Practice Directors are:
Rob Burton, Sydney
Brian Clohessy, Sydney
Todd Hammond, Sydney
The new Associates are:
Morgan Corkill, Brisbane
Andrew Davis, Sydney
Adrian Gessner, Sydney
Jon Jacka, Sydney
Conor Larkins, Sydney
Catherine Lee, Sydney
Knut Menden, Sydney
Stefan Strigl, Sydney
Christian Wild, Sydney
Congratulations again to the new Associates and Practice Directors.

BVN Architecture's award-winning project Goods Shed North was featured on ABC Television's Catalyst program which addressed the importance of green building stock.

The new Myer National Support Office officially opened on Wednesday 19 May.
Located in a prime urban position as a gateway to Victoria Harbour on Collins Street, the building required a strong identity that would not compete with its context.
BVN has designed a grey building, precisely detailed, smooth and sharp - a portrayal of elegance, and modernity. Consequently, the timelessness that is implicit in the Myer mark is embedded in the design of this building.
Goods Shed North has won two Interior Design Awards (IDA). This is the third year in a row that BVN projects have been winners in these prestigious annual awards.
The Goods Shed North in Melbourne’s Docklands, won the award for Corporate Design as well as the Environmentally Sustainable Design Award. The Academy was also highly commended in the Corporate Design category.
These latest awards add to BVN’s growing architecture prize collection, which now exceeds more than 120 in the last five years.
Bendigo Bank Headquarters received two awards at the 2009 Australian Institute of Architects Awards Ceremony held in Melbourne last week - the 2009 RAIA National Award for Commercial Architecture and the 2009 RAIA Commendation for Sustainable Architecture.
Completed in 2008, Bendigo Bank Headquarters was designed by BVN in association with Gray Puksand.
