Who we are

DunnHillam is a collaborative architecture and urban design practice based in Sydney, Australia. Led by architects Ashley Dunn and Jonathan Temple, our team strives to create transformative places that inspire joy, enhance wellbeing, and foster connection. Sustainability and community are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Approach

We believe in a holistic approach to design that considers the whole person, planet, and profit. From the initial concept through construction and beyond, we prioritize environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, and community involvement. Our projects showcase innovative solutions that achieve remarkable outcomes without compromising aesthetics or functionality.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is not merely an afterthought but an integral part of our core values. Since our inception in 2001, we have consistently sought innovative ways to minimize environmental impact, maximize resource efficiency, and foster resilient communities. We've led the way in sustainable building practices, pioneering solutions such as night-sky cooling systems and energy-efficient superinsulated homes.

Our Work

Our portfolio encompasses a diverse range of projects, including:

• Adaptive reuse and heritage buildings: We breathe new life into existing structures, maximizing their lifespan and respecting their cultural significance.
• Green buildings: We design energy-efficient and resource-conscious structures that harmonize with their surroundings.
• Community facilities: We create vibrant and inclusive spaces that foster connection and empower communities.
• Masterplans and urban design: We design sustainable urban environments that prioritize open spaces, connectivity, and public transport.
