Greg Wright Architects Details
GREGWRIGHT architects (GWA) was founded in 1995 by its sole member at the time, Greg Wright.The decision to break ties from a successful partnership with my previous partner and form a new practice was formed out of a need or desire to explore a new and separate vision for the making of buildings and to discover a different way in the delivery of both as a service and product that adhered to the principles and values held as important to Greg Wright. These principles still underpin the ethos of the practice and include:• The business of architecture should be inspired by the delivery of contemporary buildings founded on the values of integrity, honesty, and a commitment to offer positively to the built environment• The belief in and commitment to ones ideas is the single most valu able currency we can invest in• Work is driven by a desire to make buildings that reveal & revel in excellence of thought and execution – this soon became the credo of the newly formed GWA.The practise continues to develop projects around these core values. From humble beginnings of doing primarily residential work, the practise had grown both in confidence and size taking on bigger challenges.In 2001 Greg Scott joined GWA and very quickly became a pivotal part of the success of the practise. This was acknowledged in his appointment as a director and shareholder in GWA in 2003, and has been instrumental in the growth of GWA and the extensive portfolio of work completed to date.As a rule we will "break the mould" of each of our projects to ensure that our clients receive careful attention to the specifics of their briefs and design intentions and we are driven each time to question and search for meaningful and relevant solutions to each of our projects. Each project is seen as an opportunity to explore, discover, question and seek relevance in our work - and this has not changed since the founding of the practise in 1995.
