What Conrad & Gargett does

Conrad & Gargett, operating under the Architectus brand, is a private Australian multidisciplinary architecture and design practice headquartered in Brisbane, with origins dating to 1890. The firm operates nine studios across Australia and four affiliated studios in New Zealand, employing architects, urban designers, planners, interior designers, landscape architects, and digital specialists working in integrated teams across 19 expertise areas spanning aviation, commercial, data centres, defence, education, health, heritage, infrastructure, living, public, renewal, science and research, sport, transport, urban design, urban planning, wayfinding, and workplace.

The firm's portfolio includes high-profile institutional and enterprise projects such as the UNSW Health Translation Hub, the State Library of Queensland 'The Corner' renovation, Kangan Institute's Melton Campus, Airservices Australia data centres, Macquarie Bank workplace interiors, Qantas headquarters wayfinding, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) heritage and renewal project. Six projects were shortlisted in the 2026 Property Council of Australia Innovation Awards, reinforcing the firm's positioning in the Australian property sector.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services acquired via competitive tendering, direct appointments, and professional referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm has no parent company, no external institutional investors, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds; ownership appears to follow a traditional partnership-style architecture practice structure.
