Approach

NBRSARCHITECTURE is a multidisciplinary practice offering services in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, interior design, heritage and compliance.

We believe in creating life-changing environments for patients, families, carers, staff and communities. We are particularly interested in helping our clients deliver best-practice, person-centred care. Our experience across a wide range of spaces for living, gathering and working supplements our interest in health care delivery. We develop creative partnerships with our clients to ensure high quality design outcomes, and regularly engage in public discourse on architecture and design.

In order to ensure the relevance of the spaces we design, we conduct research into current and projected trends in the way people live and interact with the built environment. Up

to-date knowledge is vital in ensuring a high quality of design as well as an understanding of the social, cultural and political context within which we operate.

Envision papers incorporate case study, literature review, desktop analysis and other research. Case studies are useful as they focus on individual projects rather than sweeping statistical or data-analysis based study. By analysing built projects, it is possible to gain an understanding of the effectiveness of design in achieving its desired results. While a case study may not directly answer to a research question, they provide a real-world example with site and context to test theories and ideas. Literature review is conducted across a range of local, interstate and international sources to ensure our designs are responding to international best practice, as well as regional issues and

trends that directly affect our clients. This provides us with the knowledge to provide strategic advice and guidance to our clients.

The NBRS Student Partnership Program engages architectural students to work in conjunction with mentors within the practice to do further in-depth research and design around key topics relevant to our work.

If you are interested in knowing more about a topic covered in our research, please feel free to contact us. We are also interested in engaging in new research with current and future clients to support business case development, feasibility and concept design.
