ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

SDA has developed a reputation for innovative and exciting architectural work since establishing in 2000.

From its Alice Springs base SDA provides creative design and responsive and responsible project management on urban and remote projects. The practice engages with the cultural context of each client and project - this philosophy extends to all 'cultures' including Indigenous clients and communities, youth and aged groups, and the corporate culture of particular organizations.

SDA have tasked themselves with discovering and developing a unique regional identity based on the particular culture, history, climate and geography of northern and central Australia. The team evolves this broader project with each commission undertaken - by embedding stories in design, manipulation of water and light, incorporating landscape design and creating a particular sense of place.
