We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which our studio and our projects are located, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We celebrate the stories, culture, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
About
The ERA team is actively led by director Kim McKellar.
With youth and experience in balance and diverse cultural backgrounds, the team is passionately involved in all aspects of a project - from inception through to completion. We believe that good design involves more than the application of current styles or trends. Our expertise allows us to define an aesthetic form based on functional, spatial, social, environmental, economic, and siting needs. This approach provides our clients with custom building solutions that balance all the key aspects of their design brief and exceed expectations.
We are able to tailor a range of design services to meet the particular needs of your project across all stages, including ‘Design and Construct’ procurement options. Our efficient project management structure minimises operating costs, allowing us to offer competitive fee schedules and deliver your project on time, on budget, with quality documentation and personalised service.
Our commitment to delivering high-quality projects, present innovative design solutions, and offer excellent value through careful control of cost and program has resulted in an increasing register of repeat corporate and private clients across all building typologies.
We maintain registration with the Board of Architects in VIC, QLD, TAS, and NSW.
