Bijl Architecture is an ambitious Sydney practice seeking to challenge the status quo. We believe that our homes, schools and places of gathering are an expression of our communities' collective values and hopes, for now and for the future. Through our work, we make these aspirations resolutely life-affirming and real.Our PhilosophyWe are guided by the belief that architecture must improve our comfort and connections: to each other, to ourselves, and to future generations. This focuses our renowned energy and determination into the daily pursuit of these aims with our clients.We're unapologetic opportunists. We see latent potential, creating design that brings enduring surprise and delight. Our residential projects are borne from an empathic, deeply personal expression of our clients' vision; our educational and public works invest in the potential of architecture to serve people through advancing pedagogy, industry and ideas.We raise our voices tirelessly to progress the profession in the interests of our shared legacy, for students and practitioners, and the public alike.Most of all, our architecture is impeccably detailed, grounded in economic mindfulness, perceptive, and proudly Bijl – alive with light, character; sometimes mercurial, always striving.
