Coinciding in 25 years of architectural practice, m3architecture has announced longtime architects Elan Barr and Jonathan Goh have both been elevated to the position of Director.
m3architecture Director, Michael Banney, says the appointments made by the Brisbane-based practice expands its leadership team to six and strengthen the studio's design-driven culture.
"Our practice is built on a multiplicity of voices and a shared commitment to pursuing architectural ideas. Elan and Jonathan bring different qualities to the practice but are united in their ideas-driven approach."
Barr has been with the practice for nine years and has contributed to projects in the education, cultural, heritage and commercial sectors. Banney says the new Director is an all-rounder who is valued for her strong skills in client liaison.
"Elan intuitively understands the importance of communication and relationship-building to achieving design excellence."
Also with the practice for nine years, Goh is renowned for his design stewardship that has made an enormous contribution to the success of many projects, particularly in the education sector.
"Jonathan is a great mentor to other team members, particularly in dealing with complex design and project management. This is critical to project success and to cultivating the skills and capability of our next generation," says Banney.
"We congratulate Elan and Jonathan on taking this big step. As we celebrate 25 years of practice, they are our future. We welcome the diversity and creative energy they bring to our projects, and to strengthening relationships with our wonderful clients."
