PMDL and McGlashan Everist have joined forces to further their presence across the Asia Pacific.
Becoming PMDL McGlashan Everist, the merger builds on the rich history and expertise of the two studios. McGlashan Everist has been renowned across Victoria since its inception in the 1950s, with their innovative design expertise ideal for a younger firm in PMDL.
The integration shores up both practice’s in the immediate, while creating a path to future opportunities in the education, public and commercial sectors.
“We think this is a great match,” says PMDL Managing Partner Andrew Pender.
“We believe in the same values of collaboration and client focus. Both are learning organisations. And we have long admired the work McGlashan Everist has done. With this joining of forces, I believe we are creating an altogether better practice.”
McGlashan Everist Lead Partner John Lee is in full agreement with his new counterpart.
“In many ways, this is a natural fit. We work with clients the same way, we seek to understand the client’s point of view and our designs balance the competing challenges of aesthetics and problem-solving.”
The combined global team of PMDL now comprises over 70 personnel. PMDL McGlashan Everist has design studios in Melbourne and Geelong as well as PMDL studios in Sydney, Hong Kong and Macau which specialise in architecture and interior design services.
The union of PMDL McGlashan Everist will strengthen PMDL’s position as a strong local and international architecture and design practice. For more information, visit pmdl-mea.com.au.
