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 Dylan and Dirk worked together in studio505, developing and testing a collaboration of artistic spirit and technical knowledge. The fusion of their passion, and the contribution of the large team of people who contributed to studio505 over the years of operation resulted in the highly successful and innovative portfolio of built work through Oceania, and recorded here in this website. Dylan and Dirk remain directors of studio505, and have each embarked on their own journeys to further explore and experiment upon the joint foundation of studio505.
