About

Gong Architecture is a design-led architectural practice based in Wollongong, working across the Illawarra, NSW South Coast and beyond.

Our design principles are centered around beauty, craftsmanship, truth of material and environmental performance.

Led by Luke Novotny and David Macready, the studio draws on extensive experience gained within some of Australia’s most respected architectural practices in Australia and internationally.

We seek architecture that belongs; to its place, to its landscape and to the people who inhabit it.
