the design team

The Barangaroo design team is comprised of some of the most talented people in the design industry. Our designers are all leaders in their areas of expertise. This team is committed to the ambition of creating the world’s best place and a place loved and embraced by all Sydneysiders.

Whilst each company has a unique brief to fulfil and key roles and responsibilities to deliver, the Barangaroo design team has a history of cross-pollinating ideas resulting in the sum being far greater than the individual parts.
