Hassell has appointed Andrew Wallace as Senior Associate, strengthening its aviation practice as the firm builds on a growing run of airport commissions across Australia and New Zealand.

Wallace brings more than 15 years of experience on complex public projects spanning aviation, sport and entertainment. His career has moved from work in the residential sector through to large-scale public architecture at Populous, Arup and COX, giving him a broad grounding across multidisciplinary project environments.

Aviation background

At Populous, Wallace led the design for Adelaide Airport, where he developed deep expertise in terminal planning, multidisciplinary coordination and the delivery of complex aviation environments. Beyond aviation, his portfolio includes major stadia and entertainment precincts, where he led teams through demanding design and delivery phases, balancing client requirements, architectural ambition and technical complexity across projects of significant scale.

"The value of good aviation design lies in bringing together operational needs, commercial priorities and passenger experience," says Andrew Wallace, Senior Associate, Hassell. "It's about understanding what matters most to each client and finding smart design solutions that make airports work better for everyone who moves through them."

A growing aviation portfolio

Wallace's appointment comes as Hassell's aviation work continues to expand. The practice has been selected to design the redevelopment of Queenstown Airport in New Zealand and to deliver the architecture and interiors for the International Terminal 2 (T2) satellite expansion and refurbishment at Melbourne Airport.

His experience strengthens Hassell's capacity to support clients across the full lifecycle of complex airport projects, from strategic planning and terminal design through to detailed design and delivery.
