Our Studio

Since 1999, Kennedy Nolan has developed a reputation as a design-focused practice with a distinct approach to built form.

As practitioners, we’re dedicated to producing architecture that’s highly responsive to its context and forms a strong relationship with landscape. We pride ourselves on an innovative approach to public and residential projects. We deliver a highly responsive design sensitive to its context that incorporates sustainable design initiatives while achieving the requirements of our brief.

Country

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land we learn and work on.

We pay respect to their Elders, both past and present, and their spiritual relationship with their land and Country.

We commit to creating inclusive and meaningful outcomes alongside our local and extended community.

We are in the process of developing an Indigenous engagement strategy, as we are committed to overcoming the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians.

The strategy will define a methodology for engaging the Indigenous community for all projects – beginning with the local Indigenous community of the land we are working on – early in the design process to discuss the site and its history.

In 2022, Reconciliation Australia formally endorsed our 'Reflect' Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). We are currently in the process of implementing this RAP, and developing our subsequent 'Innovate' RAP.

Carbon Neutral

We are now carbon neutral in operation!

The work of our practice is generated through an investigation of how people want to live, work and learn.

The test of our work is whether it results in people being inspired, fully realised and happy. To make design that accomplishes this, the practice has focused on building a team with shared values, respect and affection for each other.

Our team has developed a common understanding of the necessity of sustainability. Together, we are searching for ways to positively impact the environment through our workplace decision-making. This thinking informs our design approach, too.

Jack Lawrence

Project Architect

Jack is a Project Architect who has worked with Kennedy Nolan since 2015 across a wide range of project scales and typologies, from high end single residences and multi-residential developments to larger commercial projects.

He is an experienced documenter across a variety of scales of building (from domestic to multi-res and commercial) and a skilled negotiator who is able to quickly distil and interpret key project requirements and co-ordinate these with consultants.

An excellent communicator, Jack combines strong interpersonal and project co-ordination skills with a systematic and deliberate approach to documentation and delivery.

Quick witted and calm under pressure, Jack is interested how the expression and meticulous detail of traditional building materials and structure can create new and unexpected spaces.
