Our projects respond to a collection of influences; contextual response, the client’s brief, our own design aspirations, & user experience.
“Each project is unique, responding to multiple factors, the outcome is never a single vision."
01
our philosophy
We are driven by a belief that Architecture & Design can deepen people’s connection to place, enrich daily life, and preserve the cultural narratives that shape our communities. Our lasting impact will be thoughtful, context-led buildings that honour their histories, strengthen their neighbourhoods, and stand as enduring contributions to a more connected and meaningful built world.

Our Initiatives
Building trust, inspiring confidence, delivering excellence.
Driven by purpose and guided by values, we turn our commitments into meaningful actions that inspire confidence and create lasting trust.
Sustainability Action Plan
We view environmental design as integral to the longevity and success of all architectural and design projects. As architects and designers, we are responsible for shaping the landscapes of the future.
We recognise that buildings are long-term contributions to the environment and have generational impacts on the landscapes that they occupy. We envisage a future where all built form contributes positively to the surrounding ecology, utilising minimum energy, water and waste, and improving all forms of life.

At Telha Clarke, it’s important that we approach our Sustainability Action Plan meaningfully, establishing commitments which are realistic within set timeframes.
Through actionable steps, we acknowledge that we can achieve our long-term aspirations through incremental change both within our practice and through our projects to make a positive contribution to our environment.

Reconciliation Action Plan
For us, reconciliation is a process of building respectful relationships and implementing actions that lead to the recognition and sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Through deepening of our collective understanding and setting realistic actionable targets, we aspire to be an architectural and design studio that is committed to creating opportunities for engagement with Indigenous Australian processes.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan is intended to be a meaningful resource which involves all staff and provides accountability to milestones. We believe that our Reconciliation Action Plan can evoke meaningful change and we are excited to continuously strengthen our process towards reconciliation.
Centralising learning and discussion within our studio and through our projects will assist in achieving our goals and progressing our collective journey towards reconciliation.

100% Green Power
We are proud to be 100% Green Power operational. For us, utilising Green Power is a conscious choice to reduce our carbon footprint and actively support renewable energy in Australia.
By opting for Green Power and directly supporting the addition of renewable energy to Australia’s grid, we are decreasing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. This commitment not only aids in combating climate change, but also stimulates growth of the renewable energy sector.

At Telha Clarke, have a strong commitment to embedding sustainable practices both in design and the everyday operations of the studio.
