About Us
Established in 2005 and now operated by architectural designers Phil Stanfield and Rhys James, the Emerge Architecture team is involved in a wide range of design projects, from simple new homes and additions, to large and bespoke architecturally designed homes.
Emerge Architecture have also completed many new commercial buildings, renovations, and fit outs. The practice has an interest in, and has completed, many sustainable and energy efficient new homes. We coordinate with and work alongside a number of other specialist consultants as a project requires. We can take a project from feasibility and design studies, construction documentation, tendering, consenting approvals and contract administration.
