Architects in Orange, NSW
Source Architects is a registered architecture and interior design studio based at 146 Lords Place in Orange, NSW. As an architect in Orange NSW, the practice has worked from this address since 2013, delivering residential architecture, heritage restoration and interior design across the Central West. David Sutherland (Registered Architect NSW 7572) and Sally Sutherland (Registered Architect NSW 7587) lead every project personally, from the first sketch through to construction.
A studio built in Orange, working across the Central West
Founded in 2013, Source Architects has spent over a decade working from its Orange studio. Being local means genuine knowledge of the district, its heritage streetscapes, its climate and its councils, along with close working relationships with the builders, trades, suppliers and consultants who deliver the work on the ground. The practice's reach extends beyond Orange across the Central West and greater New South Wales, including Bathurst and Dubbo, but the studio itself, and the people who lead it, are based here.
Residential architecture for Orange and the surrounding district
Most projects begin as a new home for a significant site, though a growing number are substantial renovations of heritage properties. As a residential architect in Orange, Source Architects designs everything from contemporary new builds to considered additions on established heritage homes, always led by the two registered architects who will see the project through. Interiors and furniture selection are handled in-house, so a house architect in Orange delivers one cohesive result rather than a handover between separate consultants. You can see this across our completed projects.
In and around town, our recent work includes C House on the outskirts of Orange, designed for a young family around views of Mount Canobolas, and Black House, overlooking Spring Creek, with a broad eaved roof over Shou Sugi Ban cladding. In Central Orange, Oasis House transformed the outdoor living spaces of an important site with a new pool, outdoor kitchen and tennis court, and our design for Ellore, a 1910 house in the Central Orange Conservation Area, is pending approval.
A personal, bespoke service from concept to completion
Source Architects is a full service architecture firm in Orange NSW, not a drafting service. Every project is led personally by David and Sally Sutherland, both registered architects, from research and feasibility through to contract administration. Clients looking for the best architect in Orange NSW are typically people who already understand what an architect does and want a considered, collaborative process rather than a templated one. Our full scope of services covers each stage.
Recognised work, close to home
The practice's work has been recognised with a State Architecture Award and two NSW AIA Country Awards, including for Montoro Wines, alongside further heritage and residential honours. For anyone searching for an architect near Orange NSW with a genuine track record, that recognition sits alongside twelve years of built work across the district. Get in touch to talk through your project.
A studio that answers its own phone
There's no call centre and no account manager between an enquiry and the person doing the design. David or Sally take every call themselves, which means the person scoping a project on day one is the same person still on site through construction.
