Cox Architecture is a design focused
practice with a strong interest in
public life. With studios based in each
of Australia’s major cities its work
ranges from small crafted urban and
architectural interventions to major
public buildings and infrastructure.
Its current project list includes many
global undertakings from Europe,
through to the middle-east and Asia.
Although there is no prescribed
language, its architecture is developed
through an understanding of place and
context. Structure, craft, art and nature
are themes through which its design
work is developed and interrogated.
An understanding that, at its core,
architecture is fundamentally a
platform for human activity, together
with the attitude that buildings must
‘contribute more to the public domain
than they take’ goes to the heart of the
design philosophy of the practice.
Cox architecture undertakes
architectural projects in the sports,
education, research, housing,
transport infrastructure, convention
& exhibition, commercial and cultural
sectors through all Australian cities as
well as internationally. It is participant
toshaping the futureofmany Australian
cities though it’s many urban and
planning projects.
Cox Architecture has been at the
forefront of sustainable design and
innovation and towards this end it
has completed many projects which
have earned the highest ratings from
the Green Building Council, Australia
(GBCA).
