Mode Design has completed the next stage of their plan to expand nationally with the recent opening of a new studio in Perth, bringing the company’s current network to eight studios across Australia and New Zealand.

The company announced that with the continued economic growth in Western Australia, opening a studio in Perth was always the next logical step for the company.

Managing Principal Rhonan O’Brien said: “Our business plan from 2007 identified the preferred national geographic locations where we would be established. This completes the essential profile of the practice in Australia”.

Offering services in master planning, urban design, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and graphic design, Mode Design has had a presence in Western Australia since 2008; successfully completing projects including the Subiaco Private Hospital, Medel corporate office, Cochlear corporate office, ESIA surgical skills laboratory (The Centre) and the Perth ENT Centre.

The multidisciplinary design practice has been in operation for over 21 years, and prides itself on a commitment to innovation, flexibility and a fresh approach to design. Their declared design philosophy includes a commitment to meeting client and user requirements, in tandem with a firm understanding of economics and environmental sustainability.

Mode Design has long held the view that it is far more beneficial for the company and its clients to sustain a network of smaller studios that offer specialised, local and on-the-ground expertise, backed up by the resources and technical support offered by the established and robust National network.

In Perth the studio has a number of projects already underway including the Kingfisher Karratha accommodation village extensions and Stuttgart Motors.

Principal, Peter Bertram commented: “Our experience in delivering projects in Western Australia mirrors the Perth attitude – open, friendly, yet progressive in terms of business and design matters.

"This pragmatic ‘find a solution’ approach is closely aligned to Mode Design’s ethos and bodes well for future work opportunities. Through our long established Darwin Studio, we have identified many synergies and client and consultant contacts and opportunities spanning the urbanised and remote regions of Western Australia where we can utilise our wide range of design skills.”

Responsible for helping establish the studio is newly appointed Studio Manager Mark Aronson who has extensive experience in Perth and London across a wide range of projects, including retail and commercial facilities, major hotel and residential developments and institutional and government projects.

Aronson said: “I am looking forward very much to taking on this role and meeting some of the challenges ahead. Perth is fast becoming one of the most vibrant cities in Australia with a very distinct character from the East Coast.

"Sometimes perceived (incorrectly) as an isolated ‘boom town’ connected with the resources industry, in recent years it has been undergoing major changes to the fabric of the city and the regions. These shifts mean that the city is opening up to opportunities from outside and making this an exciting time to be part of Mode Design and the possibilities that lie ahead”
