In September of 1985, James Christou established the firm of
James Christou + Partners Architects. In celebration of its 25th year in September of 2010, JC+PA evolved into CHRISTOU Design Group – a design intensive practice specialising in architecture, urban design & interior design.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, CHRISTOU has developed an enviable reputation nationally and internationally. Our design portfolio highlights a broad range of type and scale of projects, from waterfront masterplanning, sporting stadiums, and educational facilities to hotels, bars & restaurants, commercial & office spaces and multi-residential developments.
Our design expertise has been recognized with various industry awards from the Australian Institute of Architecture, among them, the prestigious WA Chapter "George Temple Poole Award." CHRISTOU was also recently awarded with the Master Builders Association "Best Practice Award."
Our design philosophy draws upon creating intelligent, innovative, flexible and environmentally sustainable design solutions that exceed the wants, needs & aspirations of our clients. Our design approach sees our staff members conduct a series of briefing workshops with our clients and key stakeholders to ensure that we are fully aware of all issues and, most importantly to ensure that we share your vision.
Our open plan studio, designed by CHRISTOU Interior Designers allows for a collaborative and inspiring workplace, encouraging idea generation. We hold on regular occasions, lectures and workshops for all our staff to keep them up to date with the latest in the industry. We are constantly exploring the advantages presented to us by new technologies and have a particular interest in modular design and environmental design.
