In this week’s “Conversations with an Architect”, we chose to discuss a subject that comes up often when designing homes for our clients: the choice between concrete and structural timber for upper floors. Because the choice affects construction timelines, comfort, and a home's character, I asked Mel Gawi to explain his preference and why comparing the two should go beyond price.

The second interview with Mel Gawi, the Principal Architect at Architeria, about architects as builders.

Getting to know Mel Gawi, The Founder and Managing Director of Architeria Architects "I am proud of the business we built from nothing. Seeing how Architeria Architects’ projects have expanded from Melbourne and Sydney to Tasmania and our new ventures in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we have exciting times ahead. The thousands of homes and apartments we have designed over the years all represent a life for someone. That is truly humbling and something I am grateful for."
