Design ​team

Government Architect NSW partnered with experienced architects and technical experts to create high-quality, thoughtfully designed homes for the people of NSW.

The collaborative design process ensured that a wide range of lifestyles, living arrangements, and style preferences were considered in the pattern designs.

Each design is modest, adaptable and affordable. We consulted with technical experts on accessibility, construction, sustainability, and the cost to prepare pattern designs for use.

The NSW Housing Pattern Book is the result of collaboration and commitment across the NSW Government.

Government Architect NSW, part of the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, played a key role in shaping the pattern book, guiding the vision, brief, and design development. The team worked closely with the Housing Policy and Codes team, the Digital Experience and Solutions team, the communications and engagement teams, and the legal and finance teams.

We received advice from Homes NSW, Landcom, Building Commission NSW, Investment NSW and other NSW housing delivery agencies.

Thank you to the architects, designers, and technical collaborators who contributed their time, creativity, and expertise to this work. Your commitment to thoughtful, high-quality design has helped shape a collection of homes that are inspiring and grounded in the needs of the people of NSW.

We also extend our gratitude to the competition entrants and jurors for the international design competition.

Together, you have helped demonstrate the power of good design to improve everyday living.
