About
Kringas Architecture Pty Ltd is an Australian design company founded in 2001. Design excellence across all scales and project types is recognised by major competition and peak professional awards at national and state levels.
Our design philosophy is to innovate a specific and essential architectural response to each project – its functional programme, site and technology – questioning preconceptions and testing limits. The design process is investigative, iterative and multimodal, combining sketching and model making with computer-aided design. Rigour, efficiency and precision in design optimise the materials, energy and cost of construction. In return for your investment, our commitment is to deliver an intelligent, original and engaging work of architecture.
Director Simon Kringas is an AACA accredited and registered architect with over 25 years professional experience, dual bachelor degrees and a PhD in architecture from the University of Sydney. As a university academic, Simon convened Masters level design studios, along with subjects in structures and technology. His research outputs include international journal and conference publications, and internationally funded design-led research. Simon's doctoral dissertation is described by scholars as a 'critical' and 'significant contribution to knowledge of Australian architectural history’.
