Genton is a leading Australian architecture and urban design practice focused on design-led outcomes that enhance the public realm.
Genton is a design-led Australian Architecture and Urban Design practice, whose work has received critical acclaim through design competitions and industry awards, nationally and globally. We approach projects across all scales and sectors with a consistent commitment to enhancing the public realm. Taking pride in our collaborative and iterative approach to the design process, we encourage an open exchange of questions and critiques to cultivate the greatest quality of ideas.
We see architecture as an opportunity to learn, think deeply and work responsively to challenge standard practices and create places and spaces for people that deliver something new and better. We listen carefully to hear the intention, remaining genuinely flexible, collaborative and iterative in our approach, where different points of view matter. By staying open and receptive, we achieve innovative, high quality design solutions that create better lived experiences than a built solution alone.
