About us

TP Architects is a young, client orientated Melbourne based practice with a focus on making socially progressive, critical and engaging places and buildings, on time and on budget. We work at a variety of scales, from small scale residential extension to large scale public work, treating each project with the individuality, attention and creativity it demands. Our work fuses intelligent, thoughtful architectural initiatives with the requirements of the client and aims to provide a significant contribution socially and culturally to both the individual and in the local context. Simply, it intends to make a difference.

Sustainability is an intrinsic factor in our architecture. We believe that environmental responsibility is a reality irrespective of the climate change debate: we must continuously evolve and invent to ensure cultural, social and environmental stability both now and in the future. TP was created, and is led by, director Phat Nguyen. He has significant practice-based experience in both domestic and international projects.

With collective credentials including international exhibition and publication, our approach is honest, friendly and hands-on, working closely with our clientele. We operate a robust, ethically sound, economically responsible and innovatively structured business model.

TP is a Melbourne-based practice. Our studio operates fluidly and transparently: we favour an open, collaborative and cross-disciplinary approach to our projects that melds architectural, engineering and cultural skills to form the creative, articulate architectural and spatial projects we seek. We frequently collaborate with other architects, designers and artists. We are unafraid of a challenge, and this multidisciplinary approach that melds the minds and skills of a variety of professions enriches our work and fosters long-term partnerships.

Our practice, and our studio in central of Footscray, has been conceived on the basis of flexible and organic expansion, both project-specific and otherwise. No job is too big or too small. TP Architects is a registered architectural company with the Architect’s Registration Board of Victoria and carries appropriate public liability and professional indemnity insurance. TP is also a member of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) and Association of Consulting Architects (ACA), demonstrating a commitment to professional integrity and quality of service.
