AMASS // to gather, assemble, congregate… people, spaces, objects.
Our mission is to create Architecture that is functional, soulful, and sustainable.
We are a team of Architects and Designers working across Victoria and Western Australia on a range of residential, community and commercial projects with a desire to unlock hidden potential.
At AMASS, the solution for each project is a product of our unique design process, driven by research, consultation, and collaboration. This process is aided by the use of advanced digital tools to explore new approaches to design, documentation, and construction.
Studio Directors Kieran and Paul bring their international experience and passion for purposeful, crafted and sustainable design to every AMASS project.
Kieran is a registered Architect who has over 10 years experience working on complex projects in Australia and Internationally.
Originally from Perth, Kieran moved to London in 2014 where he worked for Grimshaw Architects designing city-changing projects including Euston Station, Gatwick Airport Station, a multi-residential development at Nine Elms and the award-winning London Bridge Station to name a few.
In 2017 Kieran relocated to Melbourne, Australia where he worked on a range of commercial, stadia and rail projects.
