Statkus Architecture is a young and energetic architectural practice focused on considered, engaging and sustainable outcomes, established by Ben Statkus a registered architect who has been in private practice since 2004. We are primarily involved in projects for habitation, from home renovations and extensions, new homes and multi-unit projects. We are also involved in local government, retail, hospitality and community projects.

Statkus Architecture seeks engagement with the wider community through voluntary work, architectural and urban competitions, interviews and public art commissions, often collaborating with those outside of the discipline of architecture.

Our work seeks to invite, wonder, maximize, minimize, question, assess, encourage, participate and speculate.

Project Types Single residential new homes, extensions & renovations, multi-residential, government, community, retail, hospitality, interiors, custom joinery.
