Lyons is a creative practice that works design into the heart of everything we do. We make architecture from ideas – big ideas of course – but also subtle and small ones, visual ideas or technological ones, complex ideas or just practical ones. Our experienced, specialist team will bring you deep into every creative discussion to deliver designs that shape, serve, and support communities all around Australia.
Designed by Lyons in collaboration with Haworth Tompkins and Silver Thomas Hanley, the boundary-breaking ECU City campus was unveiled in 2021 and early works are now underway. Recently, Sean Henriques, Program Director at ECU spoke with Architecture AU on his experience working with Lyons.
We recently launched our 2022 Mentorship Programme – a mutually beneficial, long-term relationship that aspires to enable a deepened understanding of Lyons, how we practise and the nuances of the wider industry.
This International Women's Day, we'd like to take this chance to acknowledge the amazing contribution and achievements of all of the women of Lyons, who collectively help contribute to our studio's ability to deliver designs that shape, serve, and support communities all around Australia.

MEET THE TEAM PRINCIPALS It's hard to avoid catching Sam Hunter's passion when he starts to unpack ideas, concepts or design theories. A Principal of Lyons, he's an architect who is inspired by places that intricately weave geography and history into their built form—a methodology born from deep thought and experienced practice. This passion is firmly embedded in Sam’s approach across all aspects of his practice—from designing unique, cultural projects like the #SpringvaleCommunityHub and @koorie_heritage_trust_inc to his role as Sessional Design Tutor in the Masters of #Architecture programs at both @rmituniversity and the @unimelb. - - - #lyonsarchitecture #teamfeature #behindthescenes #bts #architecture #principals
