At Whitehaus we’re as dedicated to creating strong relationships as we are about creating beautiful buildings and spaces. It’s what has shaped our architecture and business since forming in 2012. We love collaborating with clients who come to the design process with an open mind and willingness to think differently. But also expect our ideas to be grounded in reality; time and budget is always front and centre for us. It’s how truly great and meaningful outcomes can be achieved. By working together in partnership.
STUDIO
Community is our foundation. It includes our friends, colleagues, staff, neighbours, sports clubs, and the schools our children attend. It shapes our daily lives—it’s there when we work, go out, and return home. Community is also a set of values that guide how we work and who we choose to work alongside. This is what matters to us.
Balance
Work life balance in our studio enriches our architecture. We work effectively during office hours, with purpose and focus, leaving time for extracurricular pursuits that expand and enhance our lives.
Creativity
We’re down-to-earth and practical, and we’ll deliver what you need in the most efficient, innovative and elegant way possible. Our buildings perform beautifully and last for decades. We are the "Swiss Army Knife" of Architects .
Innovation
We use the latest architectural technology and our past experience as builders, to drive innovation and buildability from concept through to construction.
Reliability
Known for our excellent management, documentation and contract administration skills, we understand the commercial implications of budget and programme. Efficient processes deliver successful and reliable outcomes, every time.
Respect
We’re business people too so we understand your challenges and motivations, and we’ll partner with you to meet them. Trust builds from being upfront, open and accountable – that’s what you can expect from us.
PEOPLE
We believe work should be fun, it drives creativity and creates amazing results for our clients, with our team bringing their unique talents, personalities and energy to the studio and their roles.
Clancy White
– Director & Architect
Clancy is full of energy and ideas, and thrives on connecting with people and helping them to solve problems and overcome challenges. In architecture terms, that means he’s great at conceptualising inventive and functional solutions that don’t break the bank.
Diana Goldswain
– Director & Architect
Diana completed a commerce degree and backpacked through Europe before choosing to become an architect. Now she combines business knowledge with her enthusiasm for exploring new places – and a natural curiosity about what people value and how they want to live – to help our clients achieve their aspirations, without exceeding their financial limits.
AWARDS
While we don’t design for awards, they are a great recognition of our commitment to excellence and innovation, and achieving outstanding results for our clients.
