Regional leader in tropic design
Practice
Julianne McAlloon Architects (JMc Architects) is an award winning Cairns architecture practice established in 2005. JMc Architects has successfully designed and program managed many notable projects in the Far North Queensland region and across Queensland.
Our work extends to various project portfolios diverse in scale, program and settings, from off the grid houses on remote sites and urban settings, public multi –residential developments to Aged Care, medical centres, schools learning centres, School Sports Halls, Museums, police stations, fire stations and commercial buildings and fitouts.
JMc Architects project focus is on developing and maintaining strong relationships with clients and project teams. Our practice has the organisation structure to ensure every client receives individual attention from a project leader and our experienced project team.
A collaborative process of listening, analysing, workshopping and refining, results in team ownership of design decisions and a higher level of brief resolution. Design solutions are thus highly specific to each project.
Core values
As an underlying principle of our practice we are dedicated to providing sustainable design solutions, investigating new technologies and using local resources where possible.
The core of our architecture is understanding and respecting the connection to place; combined with our expertise in analysing opportunities and constraints and in depth collaboration between client, consultant and contractors we are able to formulate sustainable, fit for purpose and surprising built forms. Above all we respect our clients’ needs and we maintain internal processes that ensure these needs are nurtured during all stages of design.
