A seamless transition: the house seems to grow from its established garden. Our clients often stay with our houses - the photos here show two renovations, on the same house, for the same clients, five years apart.

About the
Professional

Assemblage Architecture was founded by Peter Chivers in 1997 and has established a reputation as a leading architectural practice in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. 

We provide complete architectural design and contract administration services and are experienced in both small and large scale residential projects from carefully worked inner city renovations to highly detailed multi-level houses overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Assemblage has completed projects in bushfire prone areas, including BAL-FZ (Flame Zone). All Assemblage projects incorporate principles of passive solar design to maximise energy efficiency, and are built using materials from sustainable sources. 

We take pride in providing our clients with a complete design service from initial sketch designs to detailed interiors and bespoke furniture. All projects are characterised by a concern with place: the atmosphere evoked by a building’s relationship with its context. Designing with sensitivity to the site allows our buildings to reinforce the quality of intimacy and create points of focus for images, memories and dreams.

Peter Chivers (ARN 9135) is a registered architect and has a PhD in Architecture from the University of Sydney. For over twenty years, Peter has taught architectural design at the University of NSW, the University of Sydney and the University of Technology, Sydney.

Assemblage respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and build.
