Figure/Ground Architects is an award-winning architecture practice with a reputation for innovation and design quality.
We believe that architecture is a critical practice, which, to be relevant, must engage with a wide range of social, economic, technical and cultural issues. Every one of our projects is rooted in an inquisitive design process that starts from a firm understanding of the client’s brief and ends with a clear strategy that guides the creation of exceptional buildings and places. This means that we approach each commission with a fresh perspective, always seeking to ask the right questions before seeking to find the right answers.
We work across a number of sectors, bringing enthusiasm, professionalism and a genuinely collaborative approach to everything we do.
Figure/Ground Architects was founded by Cody Gaynor in 2014 with the aim of establishing a practice culture that fosters the direct and meaningful involvement of all employees. From inception, the practice has been supported by a cohesive and experienced management, design and delivery team, conveying core continuity from Figure/Ground’s predecessor practice, Space Craft Architects. *
