ASSEMBLAGE ARCHITECTURE

About

Assemblage Architecture has established a reputation as a leading design firm in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, providing complete architectural design and project management services for both small and large scale developments including medium-density housing projects and highly detailed multi-level houses overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Assemblage was Established in 1997 by respected Sydney architect and design teacher, Peter Chivers (ARN 9135). Our focus is on creating houses that are sensitive to client needs and lifestyle choices, while also being responsive to the landscape, climate and environmental considerations of the site.

All projects are characterised by a concern with place: the atmosphere evoked by a building’s relationship with its context. Designing with sensitivity to siting allows our buildings to reinforce the quality of intimacy and create points of focus for images, memories and dreams.

All Assemblage projects incorporate principles of passive solar design to maximise energy efficiency, and are built using materials from sustainable sources. Assemblage prides itself on providing its clients with a complete design service, from initial sketch designs, to detailed interiors and bespoke furniture.

Well-established business practices and the employment of the latest in 3D design and quantitive management software, allows Assemblage to provide its clients with efficient, reliable and cost-effective architectural services.

Peter regards teaching as an extension of architectural practice, and has been a teacher in the Architecture Schools of the University of NSW, the University of Sydney and the University of Technology, Sydney. In December 2020, Peter was awarded a PhD in Architecture by the University of Sydney.
