From Birrarung-ga we listen, learn and make. JCB is an architecture, interior design and urban design studio with a deep respect for Country and context, people and purpose.
We craft environments that meet the needs of clients and make a real difference to communities. We believe intelligent design has impact, regardless of scale or typology.
To achieve that we foster a culture which, like our work, is a balance of pragmatic and poetic.
It’s been our way since we were founded in friendship in 1998. Today we continue that tradition with a spirit of collaboration, curiosity and rigour with every project.
Architecture of its place and for its people. Architecture with respect.

Our projects respond to the natural and the built environment.
Country and culture. Histories and influence. Connection and community. Forms and materials.
Our role is to reshape environments and with this comes a responsibility to the stories of place.
The buildings we design now will become part of our collective memory.
Creativity is often born from constraints.
Explore the plan. Unlock efficiencies. Discover unexpected benefits.
We make the most of every space, just as we make the most of every opportunity to create something new. A deeply pragmatic approach yields value.
Materials give language and identity to a built form.
Our preferred materials draw on an understanding of what is local, sustainable and of Country.
We delight in exploring innovative ways to use and adapt materials, knowing that materials can have their own inherent story.
Whether it’s a modest beach shack or a high-rise apartment building, a piece of street furniture or a master plan, intelligent design matters
We stay true to the same design principles, rigour and creative energy for every brief, regardless of scale, budget or typology.
Every project can nurture the soul.
Sustainability is an intrinsic part of what we do. We believe that every project should address the importance of social, cultural and environmental sustainability.
Our holistic approach ensures that our architecture is appropriate to its location, connected with its occupants and kind to our planet.
While we take our work seriously, we appreciate the importance of not taking ourselves too seriously.
Light. Colour. Play.
Joyful exploration and experimentation through our collaborative design leads to spaces people love to be in.
Keep the work fun.
