About

Matt Davis is an architect and Studio Director at Bates Smart, one of Australia’s oldest and largest architecture firms. His expertise lies in shaping cities and neighbourhoods through architecture, urban design and strategy. He is a trusted advisor to organisations delivering complex urban projects and has worked in a strategic advisory capacity with the NSW Government Architect and the NSW State Design Review Panel.

Matt’s architecture comes from a curious combination of rational problem solving and the search for poetic idiosyncrasies. An inquisitive person, he likes to scratch the surface and understand the problem and the people involved in a project. He is more interested in atmosphere than objects, and always thinks about how a building contributes to its place.

Matt loves the complexity of cities – the need to work across so many different scales, and the opportunity to create public places that are good for people and the planet.
