Principal Architect
Introducing Jamie, our Principal Architect, who’s basically a Gold Coast institution. Growing up here, he’s seen the transformation from a quaint beach town to a bustling tourist trap over the last 50 years—no pressure, right? His family has deep roots in the area, having kicked off a business in Nerang Street back in the mid-‘40s, so he practically bleeds Gold Coast history.
When he’s not busy running his small architectural firm in Southport and Surfers Paradise, he’s dabbling in private residential and commercial projects. You know, just the usual renovations, extensions, and upgrades to existing buildings—nothing too flashy. Jamie’s design philosophy is all about logic and order, heavily influenced by modern Japanese architecture, which means you can expect highly detailed elements and a touch of natural materials. Because who doesn’t love a good balance, right?

Project Architect
Meet Sylwia, our resident architectural whiz who kicked off her journey at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland, back in ’99. After completing her Master of Architecture in 2004—while juggling a few architectural jobs, of course—she decided to shake things up and head to Queensland in 2005. Since then, she’s graced a number of high profile firms with her presence, tackling everything from commercial projects to aged care facilities.
In 2006, she found her way to GGI Architects, where her skills really shine. Sylwia is a master of high-quality 3D renderings and “fly-throughs”—because who doesn’t love a virtual tour? She’s also a pro at turning hand-drawn plans into sleek parametric models in Revit. So, if you ever need something to look fancy in a hurry, she’s your go-to gal!

Administration
Meet Laura Gordon, our founding member who’s generously lent her middle name to the business—because why not make it a family affair? Currently, she’s off on a well-deserved sabbatical, gallivanting around the globe and diving into some serious studying. Apparently, she’s on a quest to transform our operation into a tech-savvy utopia and chart a brand-new business direction. But don’t worry, she’s still just a message away for her usual dose of no-nonsense advice and earth-shattering feedback on our wild brainstorming ideas. Once she’s done globe-trotting and learning, she’ll grace us with a shiny new business plan to dazzle our past and present clients.

Manager
Meet Monet Gordon, one of our illustrious founding members—yes, her name is literally on the door. She’s the hands-on guru who never misses a chance to weigh in during the design process, because what’s a creative meeting without her commentary? She’s always there to sprinkle her “insightful” recommendations right before we send projects off to clients, or during our brainstorming sessions when we’re trying to figure out our design ethos. And just to keep things interesting, she’s off studying to conjure up yet another income stream for the business. Because clearly, we weren’t busy enough already!

Illustrator
Meet Koha, our enthusiastic newbie who’s just dipping her toes into the design world. But don’t let her fresh face fool you—she’s got big dreams and a flair for drawing that’s just waiting to shine. With a knack for using colors that practically scream for attention, she’s eager to dive into masterplanning and sprinkle her “valuable” insights into the design process.
As she juggles school and her burgeoning design career, she’s convinced she’ll be a major contributor to the team soon enough. Just wait—before you know it, we’ll all be clamoring for her artistic advice!
