What Hogg & Lamb does

Hogg & Lamb is a boutique architectural design practice founded in 2016 by Michael Hogg and Greg Lamb, headquartered in Brisbane (New Farm, QLD) with a regional office in Byron Bay, NSW. The firm specializes in high-end residential architecture and hospitality/commercial interior design, serving discerning private clients and hospitality operators across Queensland and northern New South Wales. Its portfolio spans custom homes, multi-residential developments, restaurants, bars, cafés, wellness facilities, retail showrooms, and workplaces, with notable projects including Babylon Brisbane, Tillerman, Lune Croissanterie, J&J Residence, Mermaid Multihouse, and The Bathhouse Albion.

The practice's technical capabilities center on climate-responsive sub-tropical design and sustainable building systems, including the patented-style "Activated Thermal Mass System" (a 75-tonne rammed earth wall with internal ducts for thermal regulation), Skycool conductive roof paint, aerated wastewater treatment, large solar arrays, and passive cooling strategies. Co-founder Michael Hogg leads residential work drawing on 15+ years at Donovan Hill and over 60 prior residential projects, while Greg Lamb leads commercial/hospitality work bringing 25+ years of experience with expertise in custom fixtures, furniture, and graphic design.

Hogg & Lamb operates on a project-by-project professional services fee model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on referrals, industry award recognition (AIA, INDE, Eat Drink Design, Habitus), and earned media coverage in publications such as Dezeen, Vogue Living, Habitus, and ArchitectureAU. The firm has won multiple industry awards including the Frederick Romberg Award (2019), INDE Awards (2020), and Eat Drink Design Awards commendations (2023).
