Chris Kreis

Managing Director, Project Manager

Chris loves working with people and property, a joy that has developed over 25 years in the architecture and property development industries. Managing development projects, he enjoys the delivery of unexpected design solutions to clients to achieve a better outcome. He applies both precision and creativity to project management, providing solutions to complex challenges that enable projects to come to life.

When away from the studio, Chris enjoys spending time with family and being in nature hiking, camping, climbing, skiing and diving. His passions for travel and photography go hand-in-hand, while he stays mentally and physically balanced by practicing yoga.

Thomas Choo

Thomas has a Master of Architecture from UNSW and  has worked on various projects over the past 5 years. 

Collaborating directly with clients is central to Thomas’s enjoyment of architecture,  working together with clients through the design, certification and construction phases.  His interests lie particularly in construction - understanding  how a building will come together, and  working with builders to ensure the architectural vision is achieved.
