Stewart Architecture has been shaping connected and inclusive cities with generosity and invention since 1987.
We are an integrated studio of urbanists, architects and interior designers working from Canberra and Sydney, Australia. For us, urban design, architecture and interiors are all parts of the same idea, and we aim to achieve a more succinct conversation between them.
Our founder, Colin Stewart (1947–2019), advocated for even the smallest projects to be considered as part of their city or urban context.
Today, we continue to take responsibility for our design beyond the boundaries of the brief. We consider each project, regardless of scale, within its broader context - as part of a continuous ecosystem and dynamic civic experience.

We are a progressive and inclusive workplace with studios in Canberra and Sydney. We are highly collaborative and believe that by focusing on teams over hierarchy, we reclaim space for ideas and enthusiasm. All ideas are welcome.
We are an equal opportunity employer and always happy to hear from people who like our work and are interested in our approach.
