Without lyrics, music has no story. Without narrative, a building falls flat.

As a Newcastle based architecture firm design spaces that are rich in character and purpose.

A true reflection of the people who use them, adding colour, life, and warmth to every project.

At Lyric Architects

We believe life’s too short for boring spaces. That’s why we design buildings that are made to be lived in, worked in and enjoyed, all across Newcastle and Coffs Harbour.

We love what we do and we’re here to make the architecture process easier to understand and less overwhelming.

We partner with skilled and suitable builders and consultants to design and construct spaces that are tailored to your project—and actually get built.

If you're looking for architects in Newcastle and Coffs Harbour who listen, guide and design with purpose, you're in the right place.

The studio started with two like minded curious friends who genuinely enjoyed designing buildings. From working in the garage to a team of emerging architects, the curiosity and enthusiasm of designing a building remains.

While one of these founders are no longer with us, his spirit and kindness continues to inspire us in our practice.

The people are the key

We are a team of architects working in Newcastle and Coffs Harbour who are known for bringing creative enthusiasm to every project.

We collaborate with people who care and partner with clients who believe deeply in their project’s narrative.
