  • Architecture in the Service of People
    Education ure ct in te th i e h c s r e r A v i c . e e l o f p p o Stanton e Dahl Architects 1 a socially responsible future a socially responsible Architecture in the Service of People Some buildings exist purely to make a bold, artistic statement to the world. Or as monuments to the architects who designed them. At Stanton Dahl, we practice ethical architecture that serves peoples’ lives. Mentally, physically and spiritually. This is not a feel-good add-on. It guides everything we do, from the moment you talk to us about your project; from refining the brief, analysing the site and developing designs through to overseeing construction. We’ve been doing it for thirty-five years now, designing and documenting thousands of buildings for the benefit of the community, with a particular focus on aged care, education, churches, social and affordable housing. Our unusual ownership structure reinforces a collective approach to our work, aligning our passion, diligence and respect for everyone’s opinion. Because we’re committed to creating your vision, not ours. a socially responsible future a socially responsible Design for good Our story is not just about the buildings we’ve designed. It’s about the positive impact they’ve had on communities. We are driven by our social conscience, our desire to improve lives, so we are drawn towards projects that give us the opportunity to make a difference. We believe a building should be more than a place to live, work, or learn in. It should be a place that has a positive effect on how we feel, think and interact with others.
