Last week at the TDF + Laminex Design Awards we were absolutely THRILLED to see the Emerging Designer Award go to recently-established architecture firm, Fowler + Ward!
Proud alumni of Clare Cousins Architects, Jessie Fowler and Tara Ward formed their own architecture practice in 2018. Besides a clear shared style, the pair’s common interest in socially-driven design outcomes drives the impressive young firm, which already has nine complete projects to its name.
The studio has a passion for designing residential spaces that give back to Melbourne, the city they love, from creating homes in small spaces to multi-residential developments that increase density without overwhelming neighbourhood character.
We caught up with Jessie and Tara recently to learn more about their fledgling practice – hit PLAY above to learn more about these bright young things!
