McCoy and Wixon Architects are known for designing exceptional residential houses, commercial buildings, including heritage, health facilities and educational facilities – from small homes, through to $50m+ projects. We are a design-led practice. That means each project is conceptualised by working through a process, where design solutions address each point in our client’s brief.
Client collaboration and ongoing consultation are built into the McCoy and Wixon approach. In this way, the client remains involved (as much or as little as they wish) throughout the process. This results in structures that function beautifully, impact appropriately with their environment and – most importantly – fulfil and exceed the client’s expectations.
