Our Philosophy
At Vanessa Wegner Architect, we respectfully acknowledge the Gadigal and Wallumedegal peoples of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work.
Founded in 2003, our boutique architectural practice in Gladesville is dedicated to creating spaces that harmonise with the natural environment and enhance everyday living. We believe that architecture should be an expression of light, ease, and connection—principles that guide every project we undertake.
Our approach centers on understanding our clients' needs and lifestyles, which we seamlessly integrate with the unique characteristics of each site. This philosophy allows us to craft contemporary designs that are both sustainable and deeply connected to their surroundings. We prioritise natural materials and environmental sustainability, ensuring that every project we deliver is not only beautiful but also responsible.
“Vanessa has a relaxed and friendly manner that belies her expertise and talent. Whilst her ideas and recommendations are outstanding, Vanessa's great strength is her ability to listen to and understand what we were hoping to achieve and then to make it happen.” ~ Stu, client
