A little bit about us…

We’re experts in school design - let us take care of your school’s design challenges so you can focus on what’s important to you.

What we do best

At Gibson Architects, we specialise in designing spaces that bring people together and promote community engagement and active learning. Whether you’re running out of space for students, wanting a refresh, trying to increase enrollments or nobody can seem to find reception, we are here to help.

Need Solutions quickly?

You need solutions fast. School start dates. Enrollment deadlines. We get it. That’s why we work diligently to make sure your project is completed on time, every time.

Worried about the budget?

There’s nothing worse that being promised a new classroom fitout but then realising it’s out of your budget. That’s why we take the time to understand your budget from the outset. We believe in transparency and honesty, and will always provide a realistic and accurate estimate for your project

Not sure where to start?

Feels like everything is outdated? No connection to the landscaping? Not sure where to start? We get it. Building or renovating can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be. No matter how jumbled it might be in your mind, we will work together to come up with a strategy to make sure we can bring your vision to reality.

“I have had the honour and privilege of working with Mark on a redevelopment project at a previous school. 

I was excited to hear that they were the architects assigned to Holy Spirit College.  As the foundation principal, I knew that the buildings designed would be nothing short of spectacular. 

I want to thank Gibson Architects for their dedication, outstanding work, commitment to excellence and expertise.  I am looking forward to continuing working with them.”

The Gibson’s Way

Make it Happen

We’re not here to get the project strung up in red tape or to tell you it can’t be done, we’re here to help make it happen.

We take away the complexity of legislation and the stress of managing construction projects, so that you can focus on what’s important to you.

Down To Earth

Our focus is you. Our motivation doesn’t come from a desire to win awards or gain recognition. Our motivation comes from you, and ensuring that when we hand over the project you’re as happy as can be.

We aren’t interested in meaningless architectural jargon, we’re here to find out what you want and make it happen. Stress-free, hassle-free projects from concept to completion

Beautiful & Exciting

It’s important to us that our buildings are meaningful to the people who use them.

That’s why we use our knowledge, expertise, and creativity to design beautiful and exciting spaces that you will love, as well as being fit for purpose.  

Sustainable

We care about the future of our environment and do our bit by designing buildings that will stand the test of time.

That’s why we make sure that our buildings respond to the unique landscape and climate that they belong to and that they are durable and low maintenance, so that you can enjoy your building well into the future.

Team G A

We’re a team of enthusiastic problem solvers and innovative thinkers who are always up for a coffee and a good laugh. We value every member of our team and strive to consistently deliver exceptional, functional spaces, that we can be proud of.

Our team has different skills, experience and expertise. But we share a common passion for positive impact on the communities we serve

Where it all started…
