Nick Bell Architects are Sydney based Architects founded in 2008.

We are committed to design and architecture that is both innovative and functional. We view each project and all that it encompasses – site, brief and budget – as a unique and individual opportunity to explore the potential of design.

Our architecture is instinctively modern yet aims to provide a softness and warmth that can be lacking in contemporary design. Our work aspires to be environmentally responsible making use of modern technology and design solutions as well as effective age-old principles.

At Nick Bell Architects we believe in combining intelligent use of space and light, beautiful materials and attention to detail; creating environments that enhance and bring happiness to daily life.
