Studio Workshop Architects is a Gold Coast–based design practice founded in 2014, known for its innovative integration of architecture, technology, and craftsmanship. Originally established as both a design studio and fabrication workshop, the practice blends advanced computational design, digital fabrication techniques, and traditional handcraft to create intelligent, efficient, and refined architectural solutions.
Led by Rory Spence and Chris Knapp, the studio delivers projects across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors throughout Australia and internationally. Their adaptable, collaborative approach leverages cutting-edge construction methods—such as prefabrication and modular assembly—resulting in high-quality, context-sensitive designs that enhance the experience of the built environment.
