Tony Hobba Architects

Our practice is located on the Surf Coast of Victoria - just off the Great Ocean Road. The Great Otway National Park and local surf beaches are our playgrond and our inspiration. COASTAL LANDSCAPES Living and working in this unique landscape makes us aware of and sensitive to our natural environment - its power and its vulnerability. Our commitment to coastal habitation drives us to find a unique 'language' for our buildings, a language that respects and reflects our unique coastal environment. REGIONAL LANDSCAPES Our practice actively champions architecture and urban planning in the region and is closely involved with State and local government planning bodies. Tony Hobba continues to have a long-term involvement with the Surf Coast Planning Committee, is the author of the Surf Coast Design Guide and regularly consults to the Surf Coast Shire on matters of urban planning and design. The practice is an advocate for good regional design including hosting and curating exhibitions of the work of local architects. SOCIAL LANDSCAPES We adopt a highly collaborative approach. Each project is a unique product of ongoing iterations and conversations between client and architect, regulatory authorities, builders, tradespeople, and consultants. We value the strong relationships that we have built within the wider Surf Coast community - artists, environmentalists, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, interior designers, well being practitioners and so on, and we draw on these relationships to create strong, cohesive multidisciplinary teams that are responsive to the needs of each project. LANDSCAPES OF WORK Our practice is highly regarded for its contribution to regional and coastal design through its provision of architectural, urban planning and design, master planning and landscape architectural services. The practice has more than 25 years experience in the production of a wide range of architectural projects covering community, educational, mixed-use commercial, residential, recreational and tourism sectors.
