For over two decades, Büro North has pioneered experience design, customer-centred design and wayfinding, with an enduring commitment to industry innovation and leadership. From our beginnings as a small studio in Melbourne, we have evolved to become one of Australia's most influential design consultancies, and a global leader in our sector.
We provide strategic design services to create positive change in the built environment. From studios in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, our impact extends to projects throughout Australia, and internationally from New Zealand to Malaysia, the UK, China and Saudi Arabia.
Our global reputation for leadership and innovation is driven by our team’s expertise and experience in finding clever and creative, evidence-based solutions for complex infrastructure and built environment projects.
People, Place & Purpose
Purpose
Our purpose is to enrich experiences in the built and natural environments. We take great responsibility in shaping how spaces are used, how people navigate them, and what they connect with, using design as a powerful tool for positive change.
Impact
We create meaningful impacts on communities, from cities to hospitals and cultural institutions, by considering people and the planet with every decision. We are passionate and committed to this work, and we absolutely love it.
Culture
Our culture thrives on collaborative contribution, valuing respect for individuals. While we don’t have ping pong tables, we offer flexibility, growth opportunities, and a commitment to high performance, embracing diversity in people and perspectives.
Environment
Sustainability is central to our values, driving us to be one of the first studios in the country to achieve carbon neutrality in 2020. Since winning a Premier's Design Award for sustainability in 2010, we've continually refined our practice to minimize our impacts.
Contribution
For every hour we work, we remove a plastic bottle from the ocean. As ocean enthusiasts—swimmers, surfers, and sailors—we share a passion for healthy seas. This year we have removed over 23,000 bottles, adhering to DNV’s Chain of Custody for the hydrosphere.
Leadership
Our leadership bring two decades experience in developing strategy, design and experiential outcomes for the built environment, and have built longstanding relationships with our clients who trust us to help realise their vision.
