Lisa-Maree Carrigan

"I believe architecture carries a responsibility to create lasting value for people, place and community. The strongest outcomes come through genuine collaboration, bringing together diverse perspectives, empathy and design intelligence to shape places that will enrich lives for generations.”

Lisa-Maree is a multi-award-winning architect who is recognised as a design and thought leader with a global perspective. Her extensive industry knowledge comes from working in North America, Europe, the Middle East, SE Asia and Australia, which underpins her purposeful and visionary design excellence. Her commercial understanding, strategic direction, and respected industry leadership in city-shaping precinct-scale design further bolster her expertise.

Lisa-Maree’s energy, passion, and focus on creating collaborative project environments that support innovation, problem-solving, and specific design solutions for the site, client, and community are crucial to her success. She established our practice design ethos of collaborative creation for Country, place, and people.

As a respected industry voice, Lisa-Maree has been featured in many industry publications, including most recently in the Australian Design Review series celebrating Women of Influence in Architecture and Interior Design. She is also regularly invited to participate in industry panels, judging panels and speaking engagements. Her commitment to industry advancement is evident in her active engagement with industry bodies and her passion for mentoring young professionals.

Her dedication to nurturing and supporting all staff is reflected in the practice’s consistent efforts to narrow the industry’s gender pay gap.

Additionally, Lisa-Maree is one of the founding partners of Tomorrow’s Women in Construction Initiative, which aims to educate high school girls about their career options in construction through stories of real women who love working in the industry.
