Description

“Life is too Short to be Boring”

DB Architecture (DBA) is an expressive, progressive, Melbourne based architecture firm. Our focus is creativity, aesthetic delight, client bliss, functionality, affordability, project management and ecological sustainability. Our mission is to create great environments.

Simon Cookes founded DB Architecture (formally Duckbuild) as a building drafting & sustainability consultancy in 2004, becoming a registered architectural practice in 2009. More recently DBA has 3 to 5 architectural staff on board with experience in various types of design, planning and building approvals, construction drawings and documents as well as project management. Our projects range in size from small AUS$50,000 renovations up to multi-million dollar apartment developments.

We believe that the principles of design and project management can be applied to a wide range of project types and scales. From concept to delivery, the production processes are controlled in order that the project is of the highest value to the owner, end-users, wider community and environment.
