Perth practice Carabiner joins Architectus
Perth architecture practice Carabiner has joined Architectus, expanding our national reach and specialist capability across the sport, education and health sectors – all of which are seeing strong demand for community-focused design.
Carabiner brings more than 30 years of local experience delivering public architecture ranging from community recreation and sports facilities to schools and major health infrastructure.
The 21-strong practice is known for its collaborative, people-centred design that prioritises long-term value and positive community outcomes.
“We are delighted to welcome Carabiner to Architectus,” said Ray Brown, Architectus CEO.
“A practice of outstanding reputation, Carabiner brings a strong local legacy, a wealth of experience in public architecture and a deep commitment to design excellence – all of which closely align with our own vision and values.”
With so many incredible growth opportunities in Western Australia, the integration will deliver projects that achieve greater value for clients, staff and the wider community.
Carabiner Principal David Karotkin adds: “Our ethos is to design places that genuinely support the people who use them – whether that’s athletes, students, patients or community members.
“Becoming part of Architectus allows us to extend that commitment, propelling our local knowledge and skills onto a national stage, where it can have more impact.”
David will join the Architectus Principal cohort and Carabiner CEO Steve McDonald will become National Commercial Manager.
With the Brisbane 2032 Olympics on the horizon and community investment accelerating across Australia, bringing the two firms together positions Architectus well for the future and for its role in supporting major legacy projects now underway.
