Profile

Jack Hawkins Architect is a Sydney & South Coast NSW practice specialising in new homes, alterations & additions, and small commercial projects. We enjoy working in rural, suburban, and urban settings.

Each project is a one-off. We work collaboratively with our clients, tailoring our services to best meet their needs. The process begins by creating a design brief together, which articulates a shared vision. We then develop a design that reflects each client’s distinct personality and way of living.

Every site is a unique opportunity. Australia’s wilderness inspires us; the bush, coastline and interior. We investigate local ecosystems, topography, climate, and context. The synthesis of this research informs our design ideas. We test and discuss these ideas with drawings and 3D modelling.

Open and regular communication with our clients allows us to meet agreed budget objectives and time frames. We also collaborate with a network of specialist consultants and skilled craftsman, who provide technical expertise and support as the design evolves.

Quality over quantity is one of our core values; we believe every home should have a long and loved life. A house modest in scale can be generous in spatial experience. We endeavor to create homes that celebrate connection to landscape and the rhythm of the natural world.

We offer partial or full services, from commencement to completion as a series of stages, including:

• pre-design research
• feasibility studies
• concept design
• developed design
• development applications (council approvals)
• construction documentation
• construction certificate
• contractor selection
• contract administration
