Kerstin Thompson Architects (KTA) was established in 1994. The work of the practice encompasses architecture, interiors, landscape and urban design. KTA’s work is extremely varied and ranges in scale and program, from Art and Design Schools for Universities to multi-residential developments, museums, police stations, primary schools and commercial fit-outs.
KTA have a significant portfolio of individual and multi-residential projects including Napier Street housing: a benchmark for medium density housing included on the Victorian Government’s Good Design files. Other projects include House at Big Hill, House at Hanging Rock, and heritage apartments in the former Channel 9 studios in Bendigo Street, Richmond.
Kerstin Thompson Architects think of their projects as portraits; unique and particular to the clients, environments and purpose at hand, with a focus on an enjoyment of place, sustainability and integration with landscape and community.
The practice focus is on architecture as a civic endeavour; buildings that forge connections with their surroundings and the people who inhabit them. Design is necessarily integrated, multi-disciplinary and based on intensive collaboration between client, consultants and contractors.
