About Kieron Gait Architects
Kieron Gait Architects is an award winning studio predominantly working within the residential sector in SE Queensland, Australia.
We believe that architecture is about engaging in the very personal journey of design in order to realise extraordinary architectural outcomes. We work to make the process of design and construction, something which is positive, memorable and life changing.
To deliver an exceptional product in a personalized way requires the understanding and expertise of many. Our core group of like-minded designers includes architects and interior designers who work collaboratively to create meaningful places and spaces.
We love to work on residential projects — including new builds and renovations, as well as community and commercial projects of all scales.
We see each project as a unique reflection of your ambitions, the brief and the site.
We explore the relationships between people and place and distil them to a clear and refined space.
Environmental Impact
Kieron Gait Architects has been certified as a Carbon Neutral studio. We have been tracking, measuring and offsetting our emissions on an ongoing basis. For the past two years, we have been carbon positive by almost 7 tonnes of CO2 by purchasing offsets for native regeneration and conservation in Mt Sandy. We have installed solar panels, switched to Green Energy and are reducing paper consumption.
As a studio, we have developed a common understanding about the importance of sustainability, to tread lightly on country, to care for and repair the land. Collectively we are searching for ways to positively impact the environment through decisions we make in our projects.
