Established in 2008, KG A is a busy studio of like-minded Architects and designers committed to creating enduring building and spaces. We welcome enquiries from all sectors and budget ranges, and look to work with like-minded clients who have an ambition to make a positive impact to occupants.
We put value in the human occupation of space and its connection to the world at large. Whether a house, school or gallery, we see Architecture as an important filter between the human body and its surrounds. By carefully managing material, light, shadow, and scale, a space can frame the environment in a particular way that, if well designed and executed, can have an emotional effect on the occupant. We strive for these poetic moments within all our projects.
We recognise the Indigenous Knowledge of the First Nations peoples of the land and waters on which we work, and we pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
KGA practice in Bulimba (Tugulawa) on the traditional lands of the Turbal and Jaggera People. Within our work, we seek to make connections to Country, particularly in recognising and repairing the natural bio-diversity of the area through endemic plant species, path of water and research into pre-colonial conditions.
Kieron Gait Architects is a Carbon Neutral studio. We have been tracking, measuring and offsetting our emissions on an ongoing basis since 2020 and consistently improving in accordance with our Sustainability Action Plan.
Within our own office, we have installed solar power, fans, switched to 100% green power and are ongoing in looking for ways to reduce consumption and resources.
As a studio, we have developed a common understanding about the importance of sustainability; to tread lightly on country, to care for and repair the land. Collectively we strive for ways to positively impact the environment through decisions we make in our projects.
