AT WORK WITH / TONY ZAPPIA AND ANDREW STEELE OF STUDIO NINE ARCHITECTS
PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT STUDIO NINE…
TZ / Studio Nine began from humble beginnings in 1998 when three architects came together to collaborate on a project. Twenty years on we have grown into one of Adelaide’s largest design studios with an architectural and interior design team of around 40 talented staff.
To get the business to this point has taken commitment, passion to succeed and a belief in the profession. We can’t deny it hasn’t taken hard work! Our founding partners always wanted to grow the business and do good work, to get to a point where we were successful enough to be selective with what we do. Continuing to design and deliver a product that our clients and we are proud of.
Initially we grew organically. Twelve years ago there was a strategic plan put in place and the company has since grown with a clear direction. Our rebrand three years ago, the introduction of two younger Directors and our merger with Abeo Design grew the business twice over and has been the catalyst for change and the kick start of the next chapter.
A key driver of our success since our inception is the diversity and depth in our portfolio of work, never relying on one sector. That mindset has allowed us to be agile.
