What Mosca Pserras Architects does

Mosca Pserras Architects is a privately held, boutique architecture firm headquartered in Liverpool, New South Wales, Australia, founded in 1989 by Frank Mosca and Steve Pserras, both NSW Registered Architects (registration numbers 5000 and 5001). The firm operates an integrated design studio of approximately 5–8 staff, drawing on what it describes as 35+ years of local and international experience, and has built its position as one of the established architecture practices serving the Greater Sydney built environment, with selected project delivery in Queensland.

The firm's core offering is full-service architectural design covering concept development, design documentation, and construction administration for residential, commercial, mixed-use, and automotive retail developments. Its design philosophy centres on a holistic approach synthesising people, place, and sustainability, with a stated preference for passive design principles over active systems and embodied energy considerations. Notable delivered projects include the Western Sydney University building (Liverpool's first PCA A Grade Green Star commercial building, ~8,300–9,000 sqm), Skyhaus (462 apartments in Liverpool's southern CBD), Warwick Farm Villages (a master plan concept for 1,000+ apartments), and Arc Residences at Surfers Paradise, Queensland.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis for enterprise clients including property developers (Pellicano, JQZ, Lateral Estate, Garfield Developments, FYVE Developments, Binah/CID Group), institutional clients (Western Sydney University, Unity Grammar), and automotive retail brands (BMW, 4K Automotive for Toyota and Volkswagen). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement driven by portfolio reputation, repeat developer relationships, and client referrals, with no external capital, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed acquisitions or strategic partnerships.
