Meet Our Team

Listening with Intent

Our process focuses on listening, collaboration and design clarity.

As architects, our greatest fulfilment is working with our clients to transform aspirations into built reality that surpasses expectations.

We take great pride in delivering architecture that is both embedded within context and shaped by the way people experience and inhabit space.

This humanist approach to architecture focuses not only on fulfilling your brief, but also on delivering projects built around multi-sensory wellbeing.

What People Say

No other architecture I have been exposed to previously, and I have travelled to many countries around the world, has led me to change my entire perspective about how I view something, in this case a cemetery...Your design has managed to evoke the feelings of a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary.
Theana Gianni Member of the Community, Macquarie Park Cemetery Mausoleum of the Holy Way

We have been extremely grateful for the leadership and guidance that Toby and his team have provided to both myself as the School’s Director of Business & Finance, the Principal and the Board of Directors.
Gavin Riley Director of Business & Finance, St Pauls Grammar Cranebrook

[Wetherill Architects’] design proposals have once again far exceeded our aesthetic expectations, provide well-considered planning solutions and have given us new possibilities for development of the parkland into the future…The architecture is thoughtful and sensitive, taking its lead from the natural environment and the land.
Pauline Tritton Former Chief Executive Officer Northern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust

Toby possesses a rare balance of creativity and pragmatism. He immediately grasped the full range of parameters affecting our work, not only the necessary legislative requirements but, crucially, the unique needs of the school community.
Christopher Bradbury Principal, Radford College

[Wetherill Architects’] buildings do what they need to do, functionally. But they also give you a feeling when you walk into that building. There are moments of discovery, there’s not just a straight corridor… it opens out to something or the space fills with light in different ways.
Christine White Director of Business Services, Marist College Canberra

As the former Chair of the Environment Protection Authority I was most impressed with Toby’s understanding of the environment and sustainability implications of his work…His design for our function centre left us breathless…Finally we had a genuine architect that understood our needs and he took us on an expansive, creative and diligent journey from that day hence.
David A Harley A.M. Client Representative, Northern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust
