Liquid Blu

Our Profile

Liquid Blu was founded in 2001 by creative director Yuri Dillon, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a love for the craft of architecture. In 2021, our practice celebrates twenty years of good design. We take pride in delivering design that is as beautiful as it is functional. We've built a wealth of specialist expertise in designing aquatic facilities, water-based activities and leisure precincts. Whilst architectural awards attest to the quality of our work, at the core of Liquid Blu is a humble commitment to enriching life through design and doing the best for people and planet.
