In this episode, Nicole Eadie is speaking with registered architect and associate at Austin Maynard Architects, Ray Dinh. Austin Maynard Architects won Dezeen’s 2022 Architecture Studio of the Year globally with the jury noting that “a lot of interesting residential architecture is coming out of Australia at the moment, and Austin Maynard Architects is a leader in this field. The firm has developed an impressive and diverse portfolio of houses at different scales, all of which have a strong sense of identity”. Anyone who has worked in award-winning practice knows there are often a lot of late nights to achieve impressive outcomes, but Austin Maynard Architects makes work/life balance a priority and has an office structure that breaks down some of the standard ways that practices operate.
