Practice Statement:
Grant Weekes Architect seeks to produce an architectural solution that reflects the clients requirements a combination of their physical needs matched to the restrictions of the site, location and financial factors. This is carried out in a sympathetic and well executed manner.
Grant Weekes Architect approaches every project knowing that each family or business is different and each company culture unique. We seek to facilitate the expression of a company personality (brand) through the collaborative process so that the physical environment is an articulation of its culture.
Ultimately, the way things "look" is the result from collaboration between client, design team, project teams and users. The way things "work" is a result of the assimilation process not derived from an arbitrary idea of how things should "look".
