PAPESCH Architecture is a multidisciplinary team of architects, interior designers, and associated professionals. Established in 2004, we serve the Sydney, Illawarra, and Shoalhaven regions of New South Wales from our studio in Kiama on the South Coast.

We are a close-knit team of eight, united by a passion for creating architecture and interiors that are responsive, refined, and deeply rooted in place. Our work is grounded in the belief that great design begins with careful listening—recognising the unique qualities of each site and understanding the individual needs and aspirations of our clients.

At PAPESCH, we are committed to delivering architecture that is both individual and site sensitive. We draw on the most appropriate materials and technologies to create spaces that enhance, inspire, and accommodate. Our designs aim to frame the experience of space—both functionally and emotionally.

We bring extensive experience across commercial, healthcare, education, and both single and multi-residential projects.

Our design ethos is informed by:

• The people who inform and inhabit the built environment
• The cultural and spiritual narratives of place
• The functional requirements of the spaces
• The specific physical environment—its sun, wind, vegetation, contours, water, surrounding buildings, roads, and traffic

Each of these elements is thoughtfully considered to ensure our designs are not only beautiful but meaningful and enduring.
