Gold Coast architects since 1978
Architecture for people's lives.
hhh architects is a Gold Coast practice that does not specialise in specialising. For more than 40 years we have designed apartments and homes, hotels and clubs, offices, schools, medical centres and retirement villages, with a solution-oriented approach that takes clients from first idea to a finished building.

Our vision
We do not specialise in specialising
We enjoy a wide range of commercial and residential project types, at every scale from home renovations, tenancy fit-outs and interiors to high-rise developments, industrial, health, education and aged care.
Our approach is to help clients rationalise the design process and find the best route to getting the project built. We take the time to understand the brief, collaborate closely, and give clear and competent direction, whether you have built many times before or never.
What we design
Eight sectors. One studio.
Few practices work across this range. It is how we bring the right experience to every brief, from a family home to a 25-level tower.
