Richard Kirk Architect
Brisbane-based architect Richard Kirk studied under Brit Andresen and Peter O’Gorman at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, graduating with first class honours in 1991. After spending several years working for Lindsay and Kerry Clare at Buderim on the Sunshine Coast, he established his own practice, Richard Kirk Architect, in 1995. Like the Clares, Richard Kirk’s impressive body of work demonstrates his respect for craftsmanship — particularly in his use of timber and battening, although the heroic forms and visual tone of his buildings also show his admiration for the work of twentieth-century European architects such as Carlo Scarpa or Alvaro Siza.
