About

Donn Architects (trading as Donarc Consulting) deliver projects which respond to the unique requirements of end users. With over 25 years experience in architectural services we understand that the design of the built environment is complex and increasingly so with the application of new technologies as they impact our lives. As a foundation to this understanding, we are passionate about designing for individuals and their place in the built environment.

We regard our clients as a collection of individuals with complex needs. On commercial projects, this might involve staff, contractors, managers and executives - each with their own specific needs and objectives which feed into a project. Similarly, for residential projects, the needs of individual family members must inform a design.

We record and action each user’s unique requirements as we embark on the design process and continually improve our understanding of the individuals as the design process evolves. This process, combined with our thorough analytical methods and pragmatic approach, leads to a tailored built environment solution which is inclusive of all end users’ needs.

At Donarc Consulting, clients deal directly with the Practice Director - Peter Donn. In this way, our clients feel empowered by direct decision-making and know that their input is valued and followed through in the design.

As part of our architectural services impacting on broader sections of society, Donarc Consulting promotes the inclusion of livable design and accessibility features in our homes. Practice Director - Peter Donn, is skilled in the implementation of livable housing design and specialist disability accommodation and is an accredited assessor with the relevant authorities administering these building types.

A further specialisation of the practice is in the field of heritage conservation and adaptive reuse of buildings and places. Donarc Consulting regularly collaborates with heritage consultants to deliver successful outcomes for clients in order to preserve our built heritage with the highest integrity.
