Envirotecture expands team with new appointments in sustainable design

Sustainable design consultancy Envirotecture has bolstered its expertise with the addition of two new specialists, Sophie Kondrat and Ben Ryan, who join the firm’s Sydney and Ballarat teams, respectively. 

With an Advanced Diploma in Building Design and an impressive background spanning Building Information Modelling (BIM) management, visualisation, and wayfinding, Ben Ryan brings a wealth of technical knowledge and practical experience to his new role at Envirotecture’s Ballarat office.

Ryan’s expertise includes developing documentation, managing digital modelling, and designing wayfinding systems—all crucial elements in shaping the functionality of built environments. He is known for his methodical approach, focusing on clear communication, streamlined processes, and the thoughtful use of natural materials.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Ryan is a hands-on creative with a keen interest in woodwork, metalwork, and photogrammetry, a technique used to create detailed 3D models from photographic data.

Having joined the company at the end of last year, he is now contributing to projects across Victoria and the wider Australian market, where his expertise in sustainable design is expected to make a tangible impact.

In Sydney, Interior Designer Sophie Kondrat is the latest recruit to Envirotecture’s growing team, bringing with her an extensive background in sustainable furnishings and interior design.

Kondrat’s appointment follows a competitive selection process, during which Envirotecture’s directors noted a surge of interest in environmentally responsible design. She was ultimately chosen for her alignment with the company’s sustainability ethos, as well as her demonstrated ability to create interiors that are both aesthetically refined and environmentally responsible.

With increasing demand for eco-conscious interiors, Kondrat’s arrival supports Envirotecture’s ability to offer Sustainable Interior Design services as either an integrated feature of architectural projects or a standalone service.
