THE ART OF SOMETHING CREATED.

13.jpg

THE WHY?

Borrowed from Middle French, fabrique, & Medieval Latin, fabrica, Fabric is defined as the act of construction and the process of something created.

We seek to create buildings that make intuitive sense at every scale, from the holistic notions of site planning, down to the tangible experience of the touch of a material.

We. Are. Fabric.

THE HOW?

Fabric Architecture Studio is a contemporary design practice located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. We focus on Architecture and design - from buildings to public space, to small scale bespoke furniture design.

Fabric specialises in project handling from concept design through to contract administration.

We work inclusively with our clients identify their project requirements, to imagine all possibilities, to collaboratively problem solve and to discover methods for providing design solutions specific to their real needs. We feel the most successful projects have both an openness and specificity, so that change may occur but the fundamental ideas remain intact
