Architecture in the service of people

(AISOP)

Some buildings exist purely to make a bold, artistic statement to the world. Or as monuments to the architects who designed them. At Stanton Dahl, we practise ethical architecture that serves peoples’ lives. Mentally, physically and spiritually.

We are committed to creating your vision, not ours

We’ve been doing it for over thirty-five years, designing and documenting thousands of buildings for the benefit of the community, with a particular focus on aged care, education, churches, social and affordable housing. Our unusual ownership structure reinforces a collective approach to our work, aligning our passion, diligence and respect for everyone’s opinion. Because we’re committed to creating your vision, not ours.

Buildings should be more than a place to live, work, or learn in

We believe a building should be more than a place to live, work, or learn in. It should be a place that has a positive effect on how we feel, think and interact with others. A place that makes a difference to the lives of its users. This is not a feel-good add-on. It guides everything we do, from the moment you talk to us about your project; from refining the brief, analysing the site and developing designs through to overseeing construction.
