COX acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters of Australia. Our practice is built around designers that collaborate with clients, stakeholders and communities. We are By the Many, For the Many. COX seeks to do more with less, tapping into resourceful Australian culture to build value through ingenuity. We strive for quality through our beliefs in equality and opportunity. We embed culture in our designs, taking time to listen and understand cultural context and social impacts. We continuously seek the brightest minds to innovate design, process, and typology. We welcome collaboration, from both traditional and disruptive sources, should it have the potential to contribute to better design. Our history in Australian architecture began with the transformative Tocal Agricultural College in New South Wales. Epitomising the renowned Sydney School, the project had a deep and sensitive understanding of context and place, blended with honest and expressive structure and craft. This has informed the work of COX since. This history has established key principles we continue to prioritise today. One being the planning of cities and design of buildings that are adaptable to change – cultural, social, technological, and economic. The other is the creation of sustainable spaces – environmental strategies that are embedded, rather than added, to our designs. Today we work across Australasia and the globe on projects of international significance. Our team brings experience and enthusiasm to every new project and client. Our projects demonstrate a dedication to research as well as an ability to work with clients to deliver successful design solutions on time and budget. What we bring to our work transcends design. Our innovative technology and structural design solutions place emphasis and value on the design of core elements. Our structures designed as destinations to bring people together to share experiences that are unique to their time and place

We design to make a positive and lasting impact on people, cities, and communities. We’re a multi-disciplinary practice with national reach and deep expertise, enabling us to achieve design excellence at scale. Our 800+ architects, interior designers, landscape architects, urban planners, urban designers, digital experts, and wayfinding specialists collaborate across 13 studios in Australia and New Zealand, working on projects of every type and size. This makes us the largest, most versatile design practice in our region. Through a thoughtful, integrated approach to design, we form genuine partnerships with our clients and collaborators to create meaningful and resilient places that endure. We enjoy a strong relationship and joint ownership structure with Architectus Aotearoa in Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington. We provide expanded expertise and capacity to each market, drawing on a strong design relationship dating back to 2001.
