Nic Brunsdon must surely be one of Western Australia’s most sought-after architects. He has a stack of awards for his work and been featured on Grand Designs Australia – twice.
Since graduating from Curtin in 2003, his creative practice has gone from strength to strength, with bold and diverse projects ranging from private dwellings to village retreats to public open spaces.
Underpinning all his designs is Nic’s core belief that great architecture is “responsive, emotive and inclusive”.
“The [Curtin] course was fantastic. It was a formative time for me in terms of developing personal and emotional maturity, and being in a broad and inclusive environment was a great way to start understanding the world through a wider lens.”
To find out more about Nic’s work, visit this recent Curtin Q&A and his website.
