Company Profile
At IRP Architects, we tailor our architectural services to a wide range of ventures, from residential projects to institutional and community developments. With a strong commitment to building connections and gaining knowledge in various fields, we take on design challenges that vary in scope, complexity, and cultural background. As a Brisbane-based firm, we are proud of our long-standing relationships with many clients, who continue to appreciate our pro-active and friendly service.
Residential Services
Led by our principal architect, Nives Robinson, our residential team focuses on creating forever homes for clients. We understand that homes need to adapt and evolve as families grow and change, which is why we offer masterplanning services for the whole site and outdoor living areas. Nives is accredited to meet and approve LHA designs and is knowledgeable about NDIS requirements for social and multi-housing projects.
At IRP Architects, we specialise in designing homes that respond to our clients' desires, site potentials, and constraints, as well as local climatic factors. We have won awards for our new residential designs, both above and below the $2 million value range, and for renovations of small rural homes across the Greater Brisbane Region and Moreton Bay Region. Our unique and inspirational home designs have earned us recognition from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) and the Swimming Pool and Spa Association (SPASA) of Australia.
Community Services
IRP Architects is deeply involved in the community, and we have a history of contributing to the development of public works that improve educational and sporting facilities. Our experience includes leading the master plan design for local schools and collaborating with government-appointed architects in designing extensive multipurpose halls. We have designed and documented resource centres, amphitheatres, amenity blocks, multipurpose halls, and multi-level science and classroom blocks for various educational institutions.
In addition, we have experience with religious establishments, including temples and churches, as well as public clubs such as soccer, gymnastic, and country clubs. Our versatile skill set allows us to cater to a wide range of clients and projects.
Institutional Services
Nives Robinson has extensive experience in aged care and the specific requirements needed to meet our obligations for the well-being of our most vulnerable community members. At IRP Architects, we can provide assistance with health and childcare centres. We collaborate with other reputable architectural firms in Brisbane, where we undertake large master planning projects, offering masterplanning, detail design, and interior design services.
Our strong and creative planning and problem-solving skills are evident in projects throughout Queensland, NSW, and Victoria for Departments of Child Safety, Youth and Women, Juvenile Justice, and Correctional Services, as well as DIMIA (now Dept of Home Affairs) projects throughout Australia.
At IRP Architects, we utilize cutting-edge technology, from conceptual designs to 3-D modelling, scheduling, and beyond, ensuring that we deliver exceptional results for our clients.
