Gangarri Solar Farm Pty Ltd

What Gangarri Solar Farm Pty Ltd does

FARM Architectural (FARM Pty Ltd) is an Australian bespoke architectural fabrication firm headquartered in Brendale, Queensland, with a US regional office in New York. The company designs and manufactures complex, one-off architectural elements — including façade cladding, feature walls, canopies, and sculptural installations — for major international architectural firms such as SHoP Architects, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), Zaha Hadid Architects, ACME, and Malherbe Paris, as well as cultural and educational institutions such as RMIT and Site Santa Fe.

Its technical platform combines computational design (Rhino Grasshopper), custom in-house software, generative 3D geometry, VR/AR visualization, and robotic additive and subtractive manufacturing executed on CNC and robotic cells. The firm works across a broad material palette including aluminium (folded, perforated, cast), timber, bronze, stainless steel, PETG polymer, GFRC, resin-coated rope, brass, and composites. A multidisciplinary team of approximately 10 — spanning software development, computational design, robotic interface engineering, VR/AR design, and artisanal fabrication — bridges digital design environments with physical production.

FARM generates revenue through professional services engagements structured as multi-year, quote-based bespoke projects. Service scope spans the full delivery chain from design assist and prototyping through shop drawings, engineering, fabrication, logistics, and install support. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales to architectural firms, supplemented by a strategic fabrication partnership with UAP | Urban Art Projects, which provides project management and installation capabilities for large commissions. The firm is privately held, founder-controlled by Ben Tait, and discloses no external investment, parent company, or public listing.

Core offering

FARM delivers bespoke architectural fabrication projects through a full design-build workflow that spans design assist, prototyping, shop drawings, engineering, fabrication, logistics, and install support. Engagements are typically complex, design-driven façade, feature-wall, or installation works executed in partnership with global architectural firms. A custom in-house digital design environment links computational design (Grasshopper/Rhino) to CNC and robotic additive/subtractive manufacturing for precision execution of complex geometries across multiple materials.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CENTRIA: US architectural metal wall systems manufacturer offering custom and standard cladding solutions. Comparable to FARM in architectural metal cladding work but as a broad incumbent with portfolio of standardized envelope systems.
• Seele Group: German-headquartered global facade specialist delivering complex glass and metal envelopes for signature buildings. Comparable to FARM in serving starchitects on bespoke facades, but at much larger corporate scale across multiple geographies.
• Permasteelisa Group: Global leader in architectural envelopes and custom facade engineering, working with many of the same top architects as FARM. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the architectural facade/fabrication space though with substantially larger scale and standardized systems.

Direct peers

• A. Zahner & Company: US architectural metal fabrication firm using advanced digital manufacturing, CNC, and custom forming for signature building envelopes. Direct peer to FARM given overlap in custom architectural metalwork, advanced manufacturing technology, and prestigious architectural clients.
• Enclos: US-headquartered global custom architectural facade contractor delivering complex building envelopes. Comparable to FARM on high-end architectural envelope scope, custom fabrication, and global project delivery, though at significantly larger scale.
• UAP (Urban Art Projects): Australian-founded global art, architecture, and bespoke fabrication firm. Direct comparable to FARM as they share the same customer base (SHoP, Zaha Hadid, RMIT) and serve as FARM's strategic fabrication partner on multiple flagship projects.
• Kreysler & Associates: US-based custom architectural fabrication firm specializing in complex composite, GFRC, and 3D-printed building elements. Direct peer to FARM given similar bespoke project model, advanced manufacturing approach, and architectural firm client base.

Others

• Arup: Global engineering consultancy providing facade engineering, computational design, and digital fabrication advisory for signature buildings. Comparable to FARM as a thematically adjacent player in computational design for architecture, though operating as consultant rather than fabricator.
• Design Computation Lab (Sydney School of Architecture): Academic research group working at intersection of computational design and robotic fabrication, with projects overlapping FARM's RMIT and academic commissions. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem participant pushing the same technology frontier.

Emerging players

• Studio Roland Snooks: Australian computational architecture studio collaborating with FARM and UAP on robotic 3D-printed installations (e.g., RMIT School of Design). Comparable as a peer-level emerging player in the same niche of computationally-driven architectural fabrication.
