Couvaras Architects

About

We care about your project as if it were our own.

We sweat the small things, so you don’t have to.

And we take care of everything from interpreting council rules to making sure everything runs smoothly on-site. We know what needs to happen when it needs to happen, and how to get it done right.

We’ll run the project for you—it’s like working with an architect and a project manager. At once.

Our team is easy to work with. We’re a rare blend of qualified, highly skilled, passionate architects, who genuinely care about what we do and who we do it for.

With 15+ years of experience, we have a knack for designing complex multi-residential buildings. This experience can’t be taught, it’s built over time and sets us apart from the rest.

So if you’re looking for a dime a dozen draftsperson. Or a building designer with zero qualifications. You’re in the wrong place.

We understand your reputation and brand matter.

We understand time equals money.

We understand great design increases market value.

It’s our job to make sure your project goes the way you planned.

We’re not your usual architects. We don’t apparently “listen”, but keep designing the way we want. We aren’t precious when it comes to our designs. And we’re not chasing architectural awards. We understand good design but we also understand what drives development and costs.

And we take the time to understand what you really want. This combined with good judgment and interpretation skills means you know exactly what to expect from the start.

Let us help you pull everything together—in a cost-effective, hassle-free way.

Our Process

Testimonials

“I cannot speak more highly of Peter, Felix, and the entire team at Couvaras Architects. Couvaras Architects are innovative, creative, responsive, and commercial. Their designs are exceptional, taking into consideration the purpose of the project as well as a contextual sense of place.

Time is money – especially in the creation and delivery of property projects. The responsiveness and adaptability of Couvaras Architects are second to none.

Not only are Couvaras Architects subject matter experts insofar as the design is concerned, but they also provide significant value add via their network of consultants and advisors. With Couvaras involved, there is really no need for a separate Project Manager at all – as they proactively take the lead in this regard”.

— Daniel

“The Couvaras team are very accommodating and approachable. At the drop of a hat—they’ll meet up with me if I have an issue or question. They always make time for me. And that’s important when we have to get our projects out there as quickly as possible.”

— John

“In retrospect, we wished we had worked with Peter for the whole project beyond the drawing. We thought we could manage the building ourselves—but it cost us a lot…both financially and emotionally. It was very stressful.”

— Russell

“Peter and the team run rings around every other architecture firm out there. They not only have great design outcomes, but are very adept at project management. They are always available and very responsive—the speed at which they work is incredible. They are worth every dollar!”

— Daniel

“I’ve worked with the Couvaras team for over 15 years on lots of different projects. The team has had a massive impact on our business. They create developments we’re proud of. And their work and quality is second-to-none—

this makes selling the apartments a lot easier for us.”
