Cottee Parker Architects

At Cottee Parker, we transform cities and shape moments. Our Australasian practice has a global perspective, with architects, interior designers, digital engineers, and visualisers balancing the commercial and the creative. We value relationships and collaborations, and this sentiment has grown up through the practice, when childhood friends and architects Geoff Parker and Rob Cottee founded the company in 1989. Today, their perspective has shaped the way our practice delivers projects and interacts with our industry.

Our Story

Our journey began in 1989, when Geoff Parker and Rob Cottee founded Cottee Parker with the aim of creating a practice that values relationships and collaborations. Since then, we have grown to become a trusted partner to our clients, delivering projects that exceed their expectations. We take pride in our ability to adapt to changing market dynamics and emerging technologies, ensuring that our projects stay ahead of the curve. Our success is evident in our return clientele, who consistently return to us as trusted design partners to help grow their portfolio across Australia and New Zealand.

Our Services

At Cottee Parker, we draw on our collective knowledge to realise even the most ambitious project goals. Our success is built on our multidisciplinary approach, diversity of sectors, and values. We operate across a range of sectors, including commercial and workplace design, hospitality, education, residential, and retail. Our experienced team of architects, interior designers, digital engineers, and visualisers work together to deliver projects that are both commercially rigorous and creatively inspired.

Architecture

We design places for people, using the built form to establish a sense of place beyond the architecture. Our designs provide an opportunity for people to connect through the live, work, and play paradigm. We unlock the potential of new sites and transform existing assets to their second life, bringing together cultural, environmental, urban, and sustainable frameworks to provide a best-in-class outcome for our clients and the community.

Masterplanning & Urban Design

Our practice is known for creating dynamic places and experiences, anchored by intelligent programming and commerciality. We consider resilience in the masterplanned outcome, ensuring that its generational impacts are considered. We futureproof so that the market forces we respond to today can also be addressed for tomorrow. Our signature projects include Queen's Wharf Integrated Resort Development, West Side Place, and the James Street Masterplan.

Interior Design

We are trusted to deliver bespoke interiors that are a true expression of brand and identity. Our expertise is in resolving how an exceptional experience manifests throughout a building - a hotel, a retail hub, a learning space, or a residence. We draw on the diversity of our experience in hotels, hospitality, workplaces, healthcare, education, residential, and retail to capitalise on the opportunities our projects present.

Digital Engineering & Building Information Management

Our skill is in facilitating a deeper collaboration between project teams, and our digital engineering process offers tangible ways to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our projects. We unlock the potential of interior spaces, often resulting in lower costs for the operation of assets, smarter collaborative environments, and unique experiences. Our digital engineering and building information management services allow us to deliver projects that are not only visually stunning but also functional, efficient, and sustainable.
