We’re excited to announce our sponsorship of EmAGN WA - Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (WA)’s upcoming event. Recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects, the “Archi-Peers: Speed Mentor” event will be held on July 25th at Living Edge in Perth. In ten-minute one-on-one sessions, mentors and mentees can engage in focused discussions, exchange insights, and build valuable connections. Two members of our leadership team, Mark Young and Amy Jordan, will participate as speed mentors. Mark, our Director and Managing Principal, brings 30 years of industry knowledge, while Amy, one of our Principals, offers 17 years of experience. They will guide recent graduates, experienced architects, and those planning to register. We look forward to working with the other mentors and seeing everyone there. It should be a great night.

Congratulations Yuki Kawahara. Yuki is our 2024 Hunt Prize winner, making her the 3rd recipient of this annual scholarship. The award recognises students who not only excel academically but also pursue interests outside the University that enhance their design skills. Originally from Malaysia, Yuki moved to Perth to pursue an education in architecture at Curtin University. This move was driven by a desire for independence and a passion for experiencing new cultures, both of which have enriched Yuki's educational journey.

Its been over a year now since we implemented our Parental Leave Policy. Our leadership team recognised the importance of this policy for the well-being of our employees and their families. Our Parental Leave Policy outlines our commitment to providing paid time off for employees to care for their newborn or newly adopted children. This policy was designed to ensure we’re fostering a family-friendly work environment and so our employees feel supported during this important stage of their lives.   Our social responsibility policies capture our people and industry focused initiatives to ensure we’re creating a vibrant and meaningful practice. We are committed to building a workplace that embraces difference, fosters an inclusive workplace culture, supports our industry and contribute to its growth. We recognise the benefits that diversity brings to a workplace. We believe this builds a stronger, innovative practice.   We have a range of responsibility policies available upon request. Here are a few that form the foundation of our social framework:   • HA-P01 Workplace Health & Safety Policy • HA-P02 Quality Assurance Policy • HA-P03 Sustainability Policy • HA-P04 CPD Policy • HA-P05 Flexible Workplace Policy •  HA-P06 Parental Leave Policy • HA-P07 Internal Recruitment Policy • HA-P08 Diversity and Inclusion Policy • HA-P09 Modern Slavery Policy • HA-P10 Reconciliation Policy   If you would like to know more about our Sustainability, Reconciliation and Social responsibility objectives, refer to our website: https://lnkd.in/g5uUyMq2   #HuntArchitects #WeAreHunt #Architecture #MasterPlanning #Interiors

These are some of our latest renders for The Performing and Digital Arts Centre at St James Anglican School. This unique building has been designed to complement the school chapel at the main campus entry. Sited on a complex, sloping terrain, the building integrates itself elegantly into the natural topography.   The core of the building is the 350-seat flexible black box performance theatre, outfitted with retractable seating and movable partitions to allow for adjustable configurations. The architectural treatment of the theatre space is raw and industrial, with exposed ceilings showcasing structural and mechanical elements as intentional design features.   The intention behind the design is to inspire creativity and learning within the school community.

We're excited to share the concept renders of our new Perth Studio. This represents an exciting leap forward for Hunt Architects' in Perth. Moving into the heart of the city is a significant milestone, especially since we have been based in West Perth for over 50 years! We are privileged to be creating our studio within one of Perth’s most significant, city-based heritage buildings. Vacant for close to 10 years, it took just one walk-through to know this was our new home. “The design embraces the building’s heritage, carefully integrating highly contemporary elements. We sought to create a space that not only inspires creative thinking, but also stands as a bold representation of our studio's evolution." - Mark Young, Director | Managing Principal Design Director of Hunt Architects Perth Studio   One of the most distinctive design decisions is the use of vibrant, monochromatic colors for our gathering spaces. Inspired by Perth’s natural landscapes, we have worked closely with linguists at the Noongar Boodjar Language Cultural Aboriginal Corporation to translate these concepts into the correct Noongar words and correct Noongar grammatical form. Honouring the Traditional Owners of the land, the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, our meeting rooms will be titled Boodjar (Country), Bilya (River) and Marlak (Bush), and the smaller, focus room will be named Bidi (Path).   With construction underway we would like to thank Centuria Capital Group, Plexus Engineers and West to West Group for their efforts so far.   See our latest blog post for more renders and further project information. https://lnkd.in/g82YDzVp #HuntArchitects #PerthStudio #StudioReveal #Architecture #MasterPlanning #Interiors

Further progress photography for The Exchange Hotel. Located on the banks of the Bilya Maadjit (Murray River), Exchange Hotel sits on the traditional lands of the Binjareb people of the Noongar Nation. The Shire of Murray developed a distinctive vision to redevelop this site into a vibrant destination and contemporary hospitality venue – intending on creating a “regional icon” for the community. The architectural concept aims to honor the heritage of the multiple structures while adding new elements providing a contemporary overlay. The design contains a mix of solid and open spaces, housing bars, dining areas, function rooms, and a new commercial kitchen. The venue will accommodate up to 600 people inside and out.   The interiors celebrates the history of the site by revealing its past through thoughtful design. We have strived to respect the building's former uses and construction techniques while creating a modern space that seamlessly blends old and new elements.   As we work closely with the Shire of Murray, DEVLYN CONSTRUCTION, and the venue operators in the final stages of construction, we’re excited for the revival of this once bustling hub of Pinjarra and the positive impact it will have on the community.   Read more about this project on our most recent blog post: https://lnkd.in/gAiiVYRT #HuntArchitects #WeAreHunt #Architecture #MasterPlanning #Interiors
