Dylan Brady
Dirk Zimmermann
Dylan and Dirk met whilst working closely together on the Federation Square project in Melbourne, Australia, respectively for LAB and Atelier One. Together they designed the facades, folded glass foyers and atrium structures over a period of 6 years. From 2003 the synergy of the combined architectural partnership they have developed has maintained an engaged passion that fuses artistic spirit with technical knowledge. This fusion results in a rich and enthusiastic source of innovation for our clients and ourselves in the many sectors and projects that studio505 has had the privilege to work.
Team
Architecture is
collaboration. The
respect and inspiration
of our people are
the key pillars of the
communication that
underpins its success.
