Paragrid Architecture began in 1983 in a converted confectionery factory in Johnston Lane, Annandale, initially producing drafting equipment for designers and architects. Since then we have grown into a specialist practice focused on heritage restoration, thoughtful renovations and carefully considered additions.

Our portfolio includes small-scale residential projects and sensitive retail fitouts in the Strand Arcade, as well as the restoration of substantial terraces and grand mansions on Johnston Street, Annandale and various renovations and commercial work. We offer comprehensive services from initial concept design through to construction completion, including detailed heritage advice, planning assistance and experienced expert witness work. Our Annandale studio works on Mac computers using the latest version of Vectorworks and collaborates with a trusted team of consultants to deliver projects to completion.

Recognition for our work includes a Highly Commended in the 1993 Balmain Urban Ideas Competition and a Highly Commended in the 2009 National Trust Renovation category (>$1M) for Highroyd, 262 Johnston Street, Annandale. Our design process is driven by your brief, the particular characteristics of the site and the requirements of local council.

David Springett is the lead architect and designer, enjoys walking/gardening/building, sketching the historic buildings of Annandale and a cup of coffee and chocolate cake.

We do not impose a particular style, we work with you to develop the most appropriate, context-sensitive solution and can manage all stages of a project or provide specific services as required. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you to create a new home and to contribute to the careful conservation and adaptive reuse of heritage places.
