Expertise

Architecture

Across fifty years of practice, we have built a diverse portfolio of projects encompassing seniors living and aged care, education, health, social and affordable housing, retail, commercial, sport, hospitality and community.

Masterplanning

Over the last 20 years ThomsonAdsett has developed specialised Urban Design and Masterplanning expertise across projects in Australia and Asia. Our capability covers large and small scaled work, from new city master plans to detailed design of public realm elements.

Interior Design

Interior design shapes our experience of space. ThomsonAdsett’s talented interior design team works within both new builds and refurbishments to enrich the way we live, work, shop, play and learn.

Living

We deliver community-focused projects with a care ethos at their heart.  The requirement for affordable and social housing needs is driven by the rising costs of living, construction, land and housing. There are fewer if any choices for those on low incomes.

Mixed Use Neighbourhoods

We have experience in mixed-use developments in Australasia from project feasibility to master planning, architecture and beyond.

Health

We design environments that are innovative, align with clients’ expectations and improve operational efficiencies to deliver quality health services. Our innovation focuses on creating designs that are able to respond to the changes of models of care through reconfiguration of physical space and robust technological infrastructure. 

Retail

Our team has delivered over 350 retail projects in the last 50 years. This includes 200 regional, sub-regional and neighbourhood shopping centres – many of which were staged redevelopments and expansions of active centres. Our architects understand your business.

Education

ThomsonAdsett has delivered over 500 educational and community projects. Creating meaningful learning environments results in enhanced educational experiences. These projects demonstrate our deep understanding of the impact education has on young lives.

Hospitality & Tourism

Industrial

Workplace

Our clients benefit from the ideas, innovations and expertise developed over half a century of architecture and design. More importantly, we bring multi-sector capability to the increasing blurring of lines between home, work and play.

Sports & Leisure

With over 50 years in business, we have a vast team of consummate professionals that have delivered over 500 community, sports and leisure projects. Participating in community is something really important to Australians and we empathetically understand this.
