Acknowledgement of Country

As an architectural practice, Tzannes is interested in the connections between people and place, the narratives that give life to these connections, and the continuity of these stories and places long after we are gone. As Australians, we recognise the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, as well as their knowledge of and connection to Country, which encompasses land, water, and sky.

We aim to design in a way that is deeply connected to place, that cares for Country, and is inclusive for all living beings. We collaborate with First Nations consultants and community to deepen our understanding – culturally, socially and environmentally – of Country where we work, and to embed this knowledge into our projects. Our studio is located on Gadi Country in the Eora Nation, but our work extends across Australia and our studio members come from all across the world.

If you would like to talk to us about this or any of our work, please get in touch.
