Our Practice
Create. Innovate. Engage. Excel.
H&E Architects is a leading and award-winning Sydney-based design practice specialising in architecture and interiors. We are dynamic, committed and without peer.
As led by co-directors Chris Grinham and Glenn Cunnington, we have, for 20 years, built from a clear and central platform founded on the delivery of standout, enlivened and functional creativity.
Our team of 14 is passionate and driven – inspired by the clients we work alongside just as we aim to inspire with our designs.
We have achieved success and respect on a broad platform of innovative projects that straddle the areas of hospitality, retail, commercial and hi-end residential.
What sets H&E apart is an honest desire to listen to clients and achieve collaboratively - to realise wants with a progressive approach that melds creativity to form and functionality.
Recent projects have been completed in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne – on internationally-recognised ventures for, among others, Solotel, The Feros Hotel Group, Accor Hotels and Frasers Property.
At H&E we strive to achieve tangible, commercially-driven outcomes with flexibility and a focus on consistency and levels of technical precision rarely achieved by a boutique practice.
We welcome further discussion about how we can elevate your next project to a position of excellence.
They are easy to work with, have no ego about design, and are flexible with working in many different environments.
