Tony Grist

“Working across sectors and building types encourages innovation and knowledge transfer. Ultimately, buildings are about people – how they use and move through spaces – and each building type offers lessons to elevate that experience”

Tony is one of our most experienced designers, with a portfolio of renowned Australian and international projects across many sectors including commercial, transport, aviation and mixed-use.

With a background in both architecture and urban design, and a career spanning the UK, Australia and Japan, Tony brings a truly international, cross-disciplinary view to everything he does. He excels on large-scale projects, working with clients and designers who aren’t afraid to grapple with complex challenges and bold ideas. He knows that diving into that process with vision and determination can create tangible results that influence the future of our urban environments and the way we live.

Innately curious, Tony loves to push the boundaries in his work. He frequently contributes to discussions about the future of the design industry, notably through his involvement with the New York-based Van Alen Institute, which explores how design can help tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time.
