Elenberg Fraser
Established in 1998, by founding directors Zahava Elenberg + Callum Fraser,
Elenberg Fraser is an architecture firm that revolutionises the way
architecture is practiced. Combining the creativity of a design studio with the
outcome-orientation of a commercial firm, we believe that design-driven and
market-driven are not opposed to each other. In fact high design value and
commercial success follow on from one another.
“We utilise our professional skills to the best of our ability in order to
protect the interests of all stakeholders in the built environment. We build
within the city as if it is our own, and we are proud of the result and
conscious of the effect that our buildings have on both the city around and the
inhabitants within. We have an ongoing program of research and development and
internal qualitative analysis. We are committed to absolute best practice. Our
mission is to carry out ambitious building projects at multiple scales and
programmes, with a commitment to innovation, design and sustainability.
In a world where everything tends towards similarity, Elenberg Fraser projects
stand in relief. We eschew the notion of a house style and avoid generalising
across projects. Elenberg Fraser’s projects are all conceived in their own
right, from their own requirements, each project is newly innovated.
Elenberg Fraser consistently delivers high design value that realise commercial
objectives and raises the bar in architecture through innovation”
