CA Architects has been practicing in Cairns for over 30 years and is recognized in its own right as one of the region’s leading design practices. Our designs reflect the knowledge and understanding we have of the environment and lifestyle of the far North. CA’s work extends through office, institutional and commercial architecture with a focus on Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD).

The principal areas where CA Architects will add significant value to the project are:
• 	Local knowledge & experience with projects in tropical regions
• 	Understanding of urban planning principles
• 	Proven track record in providing quality design to government and commercial clients
• 	A culture of personal service tailored to each commission ensuring a smooth and efficient design and approval process
• 	Expertise in specific requirements such as accessibility and low maintenance solutions in regional tropical locations

It is of value in our view that we have proven our ESD design and analytical methodology on the 9000 m2 NLA William McCormack
Place project in Cairns as well as the McClintock residence, a small one bedroom residence outside Kuranda, and can thus directly translate this tropic region refined ability to the Rainforest Observatory Project.

We continually demonstrate that good design, sustainable buildings and affordability are not mutually exclusive.
