KIRK is an architectural firm committed to developing and establishing new benchmarks for sustainability and sustainable design in the buildings the practice creates. An example of this is the Advanced Engineering Building that set entirely new benchmarks for sustainability in the sub-tropical and temperate climates. It is this dedication to buildings that respond to and embrace the opportunities the climate offers is what sets the work of the practice apart.

KIRK brings over twenty years' experience in the design and delivery of Mass Engineered Timber (MET) buildings.
Our studio is the industry leader in sustainable design, focused on the development and delivery of low carbon buildings through timber-based design. The timber construction methodology, adopted by our practice, has been proven to sequester carbon using renewable timber feed stock to significantly reduce construction time, reduce building waste, and support safer and quieter construction sites. This method embraces the use of prefabricated MET systems, which can be optimised during the design process to minimise waste and coordinate at a high level of accuracy components of the mass timber structure to ensure precise assembly.
