At Fender Katsalidis we listen, think, investigate and collaborate. We seek the simple, compelling solution. Our process through feasibility, design and documentation, enhanced by 3-D ‘information rich’ virtual building environments, is acclaimed by our clients and the international design community. The practice is renowned for producing buildings which are cutting edge in design, highly sculptural and with sound functional planning. Our approach has generated a high practice profile and gained over 85 industry and design awards in 20 years. We work throughout Australia and internationally, particularly Asia. Located in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and with a sister office in London, our combined workforce of more than 120 practitioners employ a range of skills and high-end graphics and CAD technologies in the delivery of our services. Fender Katsalidis has also developed a reputation both in Australia and internationally as an industry leader in utilising an integrated 3D virtual building methodology for its design and documentation processes. This approach, pioneered by Fender Katsalidis, is changing the face of construction practices. Increasingly the specific design of large components of a building can be undertaken by major subcontractors using 3D computer based design harnessed to manufacturing processes, which in turn provides construction streamlining.
