Shaun Lockyer Architects (SLa) crafts responsive, enduring homes that elevate daily living.
Our focus is bespoke residential design, bringing decades of experience and a genuine love of working with people to all aspects of our practice. Translating our clients’ dreams into architecture is a privilege and a responsibility that we take seriously, with every outcome reflecting our unwavering commitment to collaboration, attention to detail and our clients’ wellbeing.
SLa was formed in 2009 and is an embodiment of Shaun Lockyer’s passion for designing refined family homes with clients who share our passion for quality, detail, and collaboration. Shaun combines this passion with 30 years of international design experience, including four years as an Associate at SAOTA and nine years as Director and Partner at Arkhefield. Shaun is personally involved with every project at SLa, as well as the wider design industry, with his recent appointment as a Fellow of the AIA acknowledging his continued contribution to architectural education and support of the profession.
“I think nuance and subtlety is ultimately what yields great architecture; the way light hits a wall, the way materials are chosen, the way we compose a piece of architecture that is timeless – so that even as it gets older, it gets better. It’s about designing homes that work well and feel great - and ultimately, that make you feel happier for being in them.”
