In a move that’s aligned with their growth trajectory and global success, Australian architecture and design practice bureau^proberts has officially launched a new studio in London. The practice has a longstanding affinity with the Middle East, and has designed and delivered commissions in China and Southeast Asia. The new London studio will complement their existing Australian HQ in Brisbane.
Among the practice’s notable international projects are NEOM, the Australian Pavilion designed for Expo 2020 in Dubai, and Wahat al Karama – an art installation in Abu Dhabi – by Idris Khan with UAP.

Located in Holborn, bureau^proberts’ new office is headed by project director and London studio lead Monika Laudencka-Sobik, who was previously a project director at NEOM.
Observing that bureau^proberts is perfectly positioned to service a growing portfolio of global projects from the new London base, she says, “I’m thrilled to lead bureau^proberts’ European operations into their next phase. London is a global city and a launch pad to the rest of the world. It's a hub for talent and creative collaboration. There’s an exciting future ahead for bureau^proberts and our international clients.”
bureau^proberts managing and creative director Liam Proberts says that the firm has been involved with international projects and clients for over 15 years. He attributed the growing trend towards working with Australian architects and designers to the exceptional quality and strong reputation of Australia’s design industry.
“Our experience shows that our Australian design work consistently attracts attention from international clients,” Proberts says. “We integrate our global experiences to enhance our projects and bring Australian insights to our international work.”
“With the launch of our new London office, bureau^proberts can now seamlessly service our important international clients.”
