Tribe Studio Architects is a Sydney-based practice that is seriously playful about architectural design.


We are serious about the responsibility inherent in architectural design regardless of the size or type of project. We design work that generously contributes to both the individual and collective need. At the heart of delivering to the collective is our obligation to the planet; to design and act sustainably and to use our inventive mindset to pursue innovative responses to the climate crisis.


We pursue playfulness to unlock the potential of each project. We have developed an understanding through 20 years of experience that curiosity, experimentation, inventiveness and creative collaboration deliver the most joyful design results.


We strive to create happiness and pleasure for clients, the community, habitats and environments in which our designs will exist, and for all the people we collaborate with along the way.

A new 100 place childcare facility nestles into its parkland setting, recalling the site’s industrial past.

Designed to piggyback on existing services in Sydney Park, this new Childcare facility is collocated with existing parking and play facilities. Nestled into an existing hill, the facility references the brick manufacturing history of the site, and arranges itself like a fallen chimney in the landscape.

The section is an exploration of child and adult scale, designed for cosy nooks and moments of expansive sky view and wonder. Careful planning arrangement aligns with operational and staffing goals, pre-empting lines of site and supervision across different age groups.
