24.01.2022 This beautiful concrete stair is at the entry to the administration and classroom building at St Joseph’s Kangaroo Point that we completed with Kenbar Constructions mid 2017. Whilst most people climb these stairs every day without as much as a second glance, we see beauty and grace and can appreciate how they have matured with age! Our passion is to create those intangible elements within a building that when collected together, creates the unique space that is well loved and... well used - and occasionally appreciated! The concept behind the stair was to keep it open for visibility through the entrance to the school, achieved by cantilevering on a central wall to give the feeling of a floating stair. Now the planting underneath looks spectacular and the concrete lives with moss that can only come with age - they carry a presence that delivers elegance. #enricharchitecture #brisbanearchitects #edicationarchitects"

23.01.2022 As the year one and prep students at St Oliver Plunkett return to school this week as QLD Gov ease restrictions, we are happy to hear that they were excited to begin learning in their brand new classrooms. The four new classrooms have been designed to support the schools directions in pedagogy with the flexibility to adapt to the constantly changing learning environment. Documentation is almost complete for the new Administration and technology precinct, take a sneak peak h...ere - we look forward to bringing you updates during construction. #enricharchitecture #educationarchitects #childcarearchitects #civicarchitects #communityarchitects #commercialarchitects #educationarchitects #brisbanecatholiceducation

23.01.2022 Care. Share. Learn. Grow. Our four pillars of wellbeing that drive our design ethos. Lets explore the last one - grow. Our clients never stand still, neither do we. We want our clients to maximise their potential and create spaces to allow for their businesses and operations to flourish. Were constantly working with our clients to ensure theyre developing projects that will grow with them. From schools, child-care centres and kindies, to offices and churches - we develo...p spaces where communities can thrive and businesses can flourish. Our goal is to design buildings that can evolve and grow with time, allowing for expansion and changes that occur. Our satisfaction comes from seeing people fill the spaces we create with love, life and laughter. And so we continue to grow, pushing boundaries to create fresh ideas and deliver better designs each and every time. #enricharchitecture #brisbanearchitects #educationarchitects

23.01.2022 #LookingBack One of our favourite buildings, St Josephs School, Chinchilla. We are loving the detail in the brickwork and whilst we now have access to some pretty powerful software to develop our projects, we admire the tenacity, detail and skill it took to create such classic and timeless work. Designed by our Company founder, Frank Cullen in 1938. Cullens work is proudly recognised here at Enrich Architecture and will be for many years to come....

23.01.2022 Share A key part of our four-pillared approach to designing buildings is recognising that the spaces we create will play a significant role in the way people share their lives with others. We are creating opportunities for social interaction, which is fundamental for the wellbeing of the occupant....

22.01.2022 #CoffeeBreak We are loving our new office - feeling right at home ... Barista Sam is doing a top job keeping us all supplied with top quality coffee! Drop in and say hi when youre passing next time - we always love visitors! #enricharchitecture #brisbanearchitects #wellbeingarchitecture

22.01.2022 We are thinking of the residents of the Aged Care Facilities; many seniors in the community are feeling lonely and isolated at this time. Our Client Ozcare has responded to the current situation and have implemented restrictions including limiting visiting hours, numbers and locations within the facilities and limiting gatherings of residents of no more than five at a time. As such, the facilities have adapted with individual-focused activities, sitting, talking and reminisci...ng. The design of the indoor and outdoor spaces give the residents plenty of space for a lot of one-on-one time between staff and residents so they feel supported. Finding the joy in simple things; outdoor activities, walks in the garden, baking, board games, craft and movies to try to keep things as normal as possible are encouraged by the staff to help lift the residents spirits and to stay positive. See how the Burleigh aged care residents are spreading hope here https://bit.ly/35mbuVN #enricharchitecture #agedcarearchitects #retirementarchitects #brisbanearchitects #ozcare #findingjoy #architectureforwellbeing #wellbeing

20.01.2022 Breaking ground. This new space will ensure @StOliverPlunkettPrimarySchool remains at the forefront of learning activities now and into the future. Construction is about to start on the three-story purpose-built Administration, Staff and learning spaces building. The ground floor purpose-built learning space will be dedicated to learning opportunities for STEM, robotics and a green room for multimedia filming and production. The multi-purpose area opens out to the covered q...uadrangle to increase inside / outside learning opportunities. The first and second floors will be dedicated to administration and staff professional spaces to provide a welcoming and inclusive space to support wellbeing, a retreat for staff members to recharge, catch up, wind down, relax and enjoy. Collaborative working spaces, formal and casual meetings (both seated, and on the move) and small group chat spaces have all been considered in the design. The buildings are designed to welcome family, Parish and community groups, support inclusivity, diversity and will support the schools interactions with the wider community. https://bit.ly/3kCLeh7 #enricharchitecture #educationarchitects #brisbanearchitects #stoliverplunkettprimaryschool

19.01.2022 Our hearts broke when we heard the news that the St Marys Catholic Church on Barolin St, Bundaberg was destroyed in a fire last night. This building was designed by our founder Frank Cullen in 1955 so this news was even more upsetting to hear. Thankfully, no one was injured, but we are saddened for the community to have lost a historic community pillar in their town.

18.01.2022 Over the last few months, its been sad to see so many people isolated and unable to enjoy the company of others as much as theyd like. Its great to see Queenslanders get back to enjoying our spaces as they were designed to be shared. And we hope that soon everyone will be able to do the same! #enricharchitecture #educationarchitects #childcarearchitects #civicarchitects #agedcarearchitects

18.01.2022 Have you ever seen so many Churches? Our history can be traced back to 1936 to the private practice of founding father, Frank L. Cullen. He had several commissions for the Catholic Church. Taking a trip down memory lane, our company has designed a lot of Churches for many unique communities in Brisbane and surrounds. Influenced by the history of our companys previous Church designs and the growth of the community.... Here are a few of our practices award-winning architectural designs... In 1970, St Marks Inala was awarded a citation for Meritorious Architecture by the QLD Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA). In 1965, Mt St Carmel was nominated for the Bronze Medal Award for the Building of the Year by the QLD Chapter of the RAIA. In 1966, Our Lady of Dolours was awarded a commendation by the QLD Chapter of the RAIA.

17.01.2022 The Church is a special place for the community to gather and provide support to each other. Thats why we feel privileged when we get the opportunity to create these special places and were so happy to see them open again this week. The Archdiocese of Brisbane @archbne has announced new restrictions and protocols to be put in place as they welcome the community back to mass this week. #enricharchitecture #churcharchitects #brisbanearchitects #communitydesign #ArchdioceseOfBrisbane

17.01.2022 Education is constantly evolving therefore when designing spaces for a learning environment, the spaces must be able to constantly adapt to be flexible enough to meet demands. Enrich Architecture completed several new building and refurbishment projects for St Itas Primary School including new multi-level classrooms, a new Prep classroom building and external play space, a new Library, General Learning and Multi-Purpose Learning Areas, covered PE Area, New GLAs ...and Administration building, and the refurbishment of the classrooms designed in the 1970s to reflect current and future-forward learning practices. Safe to say, with a massive project like this funded by BER and BGA, the utmost care needed to be taken to ensure the finest details were considered in the design.

17.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing the residents move in to the newly finished @Ozcare Aged Care Facility in Mackay. We are happy to report an overwhelming positive response from the local community. #enricharchitecture #agedcare #ozcare #mackayarchitecture #community

16.01.2022 Due to population growth in Yarrabilba, designing the next stage of St Clares Primary Schools Master Plan has begun; Stage 3 includes new classrooms and a Resource Centre.

13.01.2022 Civic + Community = Connectivity, Socialisation, and Sense of Place. We cant just dive into designing a building without considering the most imperative Community design considerations. When designing these spaces, we first have to consider the 3 factors above as they are what bring life and purpose to a community space; making it much more than just a communal area. Read more on this in our blog post Designing Community Spaces That Nurture, Foster Connectivity & Socialisation, and Provide a Sense of Place, here > https://bit.ly/2uTsGnv

13.01.2022 Architecture is dynamic in its nature, as Architects, we are constantly adapting to the changing needs of our clients and their end-users, new technologies, new ways of thinking, new societal expectations and even global pandemics all affect how we design. Like every business and every profession, we have had to adapt in 2020 like never before. In our latest blog, we explored the changes in Education and how architecture must adapt to meet the needs moving forward. ...

13.01.2022 Our pre-planning involves designing the functionality of the space. This provokes thought on how the space will be used and how the occupants are to feel within the area. The administration office at St Thomas Primary School was designed to promote productivity while creating a safe and comfortable environment. There is no blanket design when it comes to creating a space that is to stand the test of time and be flexible in its use, thats why we are proud to say we are understanding and adaptable.

12.01.2022 Whether we are designing schools, churches, retirement homes, offices or community spaces all of these are valuable spaces where people get to spend time. When we design, we focus on four pillars - care, share, learn and grow - each pillar is equally important to developing spaces and places that provide the opportunity for wellbeing to occur. We apply this philosophy when we embark on a new design, seeing each project as an exciting opportunity to learn, to challenge ourse...lves, to break new ground and create something purposeful. Of course theres one environment where the end result for learning is highlighted, and thats our work in Education. We love our role as Architects in the Education space. Designing schools and childcare centres that nurture young minds and provide opportunities for growth is rewarding. A flexible learning environment must encourage and facilitate different pedagogical ideals both inside and outside of the classroom. Areas for learning, collaborative spaces, group work areas, quiet spaces to nurture the individual learner, support inclusivity and enhance community interaction. Weve collated a few of our favourites ... #enricharchitecture #educationarchitects #childcarearchitects #communityarchitects #commercialarchitects #brisbanearchitects

11.01.2022 The Ozcare Toowoomba facility was designed by our team to account for many and varied internal and external common areas, as studies show they play a vital role in the overall wellbeing of the residents. These areas provide the residents with a sense of homeliness and familiarity, which helps reduce feelings of anxiety, and encourages social interaction and socialisation among their social spheres in a relaxed environment.

10.01.2022 With recent events worldwide changing the way we live and work, never has it been so important to ensure we focus on our wellbeing and that of the people around us.

Whether we are creating workspaces, learning spaces, living spaces, or gathering spaces - they all need to be designed in such a way as to a...llow for an overall sense of wellbeing.

How is your home nurturing your overall health and stability? #enricharchitecture #educationarchitects #childcarearchitects #civicarchitects #communityarchitects #commercialarchitects #educationarchitects #wellbeingarchitecture #architectureforwellbeing #brisbanearchitecture

10.01.2022 Work has started at St Oliver Plunkett with the demolition of the 1950's administration building to make way for the new 3 storey Admin and Library block. Given the age of the building, and the likely presence of questionable construction material, demolition has been programmed for 3 consecutive Saturday mornings while the school and adjacent parish sites are unoccupied. We look forward to civil works starting on Monday after the final portion is removed this weekend.... #brisbanearchitects #enricharchitecture #demolition #educationarchitecture

08.01.2022 It is so rewarding to see our designs come to life Woollam Constructions are making good progress on Stage 1 of Ozcares new multi-million dollar Reflections on the Bay Retirement Village in Hervey Bay.

08.01.2022 Its all in the detail ... We love to explore the details within a project, as it is the details that can really make a project shine! The narrow nature of the existing 1930s brick building lent itself to offsetting the new internal spaces, creating an interesting cranked corridor. The existing internal art deco features including high ceilings, exposed beams and ornate cornice have all been preserved to pay respect to the original building. ...

07.01.2022 Were so excited for one of our upcoming projects, Ozcare Currumundi! In the past, we have designed the Aged Care facilities for Ozcare Toowoomba, Hervey Bay, and Mackay so we are of course very keen to get further into this project. Although they may all seem like just another aged-care facility, each one we have designed has been unique and tailored to the lifestyle of the community in that area.... Getting to know Currumundis senior community and stakeholders has been fantastic to ensure we create a balanced, vibrant space that promotes wellbeing for those who will utilise it. #OzcareCurrumundi See more

03.01.2022 At Enrich, we have a diverse portfolio of clients from schools, child care, aged care, and retirement - to churches, community, or office buildings. With every project, our focus is always driven towards understanding the story and lives of the people who will inhabit the spaces we create. This allows us to ensure that our designs will enhance lives, bring more comfort, and nurture good health and happiness of those who occupy the spaces.

02.01.2022 As we dug into our history, it was clear that from projects where we have revisited a site, that our clients truly value our service and trust our knowledge. St Itass Church Dutton Park within the Primary School grounds was designed by our company, formerly Cullen Fagg Hargraves Mooney & Cullen Architects in 1974.
