About

Agency by Design is an architectural practice located on Wangal Land in Sydney.

The practice is focussed on Country-centred design to inform its projects.

Our specialisation is in prefabricated housing for remote communities and key worker housing.

Agency by Design emerged from doctoral research examining how architecture could design for citizenship in prison environments so people had the best chance of returning to their communities as functioning members of society after incarceration. 

Our practice is dedicated to addressing Closing the Gap through design. 

We support the Uluru Statement.

We engage with diverse communities to develop environments specifically tailored to their unique needs and aspirations. Our collaborative process ensures that each project genuinely reflects and supports the communities it serves.

We welcome partnerships across all contexts, regardless of project scale or complexity. Our commitment extends to working with any community seeking thoughtful, responsive design solutions.
