We develop our design solutions through a collaborative and creative process, creating quality architecture as a foundation for positive commercial & community outcomes
What We Do
CCN Architects is a Brisbane-based practice undertaking projects within a range of building types and scale. Our design solutions are carefully created, logically planned and people focused.
Our primary goal is to identify the economic and urban design opportunities that exist as a starting point to create an optimum solution for all stakeholders.
We like to challenge the status quo by developing dynamic architectural outcomes and strive to combine vision and innovation with creative problem solving, efficient planning and rigorous technical detail.
CCN works with clients on a repeat basis which is testament to the calibre of our ongoing services.
Every design challenge demands that we think laterally
We believe in exploring and testing every possible option. The way that we think laterally is by looking for different ways to solve a problem through creative thinking. And open and lateral thinking provides the platform for CCN’s dynamic and creative solutions.
We challenge everything, including ourselves, to extract the obvious and the intuitive in the creation of better places and spaces.
Our Story
Integrating market, business and design strategies
Throughout its history, the CCN brand has been responsible for the dynamic design and delivery of many significant and well-known buildings. At today’s CCN we continue to deliver innovative architectural and space planning solutions.
Our work, our people and our processes revolve around the way space and structure are realised, and the way that people use the places and spaces that we create.
Our extensive experience with both corporate and private clients provides us with skills across a broad range of management styles, operating and delivery mechanisms.
We are design oriented with strong technical skills.
Our Approach
We provide real-time solutions to our clients and are responsive to their needs
At CCN Architects you will liaise with the project director from the commencement of your project through to completion. Your primary point of contact will not change. We provide continuity of contact without the hierarchy, delays and inefficiencies of traditional practice. This principle is at the heart of everything we do. Every project gets the care and attention it truly deserves.
