For half a century, the Foreground Architecture team has delivered socially progressive and commercially astute architecture for ever-changing community needs. Working collaboratively with clients and consultants nationwide, we pursue the idea that uplifting, activating spaces should be accessible to all. Schools should inspire curiosity, homes should support connection and capability, and justice facilities should unlock our most humane potential. Led by Directors Greg Anson, Riordan Gough and Daniel Coomber, Foreground creates architecture that balances our company values of humanity, ideas, collaboration and economy. Principals Ria Hatzoglou and Patrick Ong, and a team of highly experienced staff support our practice’s reliable reputation for delivery in a diverse portfolio of projects. For people and planet to thrive, we design inclusive, responsible and transformative built solutions across education, justice, commercial and civic, residential, and seniors living sector projects.
