Australian Architecture Practice Information

Hassell Cox Architects

Australian Architect Office

According to this Australian Planning & Design Practice:

Fitzpatrick+Partners was created in August 2001, evolving from the independent design studio James Fitzpatrick formed in November 2000.

Paul Reidy and Rod Pindar became Partners at Fitzpatrick+Partners in 2018.

The creation of architecture involves many people and disciplines to produce a successful project. We perhaps mimic the role of the movie director, controlling and directing the core message, continuously assessing and subtly directing the process to produce the final solution.

We believe our skill is to take our clients goals and aspirations, develop and evolve these into successful projects which meet and exceed their requirements, and in doing so reflect our philosophy to architecture. The result celebrates the solution, the expression, the technology and principles of construction, but most importantly it welcomes the building users, creating environments which people not only understand but are enjoyable in which to work and play.

Hassell and Fitzpatrick refers to a collaborative period and project association between the global design practice Hassell and the Australian studio Fitzpatrick+Partners, rather than a single long-standing firm.

Context:

Hassell is a major multidisciplinary architecture, urban design, and planning practice founded in Australia in 1938, with a global presence.
Fitzpatrick+Partners evolved from a design studio established by James Fitzpatrick in the early 2000s and focuses on commercial and large-scale developments.

The two practices collaborated on several high-profile projects, particularly in Perth, Western Australia, during the late 2000s–early 2010s.

Notable Collaboration:

– Brookfield Place, Perth – A major mixed-use commercial development combining a high-rise office tower with restored heritage buildings and public urban spaces. The project received recognition at the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards for its contribution to the city’s public realm.

– BHP Billiton Tower (Biliton Tower) – A large commercial skyscraper forming part of the Brookfield Place development.
