Durbach Block Jaggers

Durbach Block Jaggers (DBJ) is a Sydney-based architectural studio led by Neil Durbach, Camilla Block, and David Jaggers. Established in 1987, the firm is renowned for its inventive and sculptural designs that engage deeply with context, landscape, and materiality. Their work spans residential, public, educational, and cultural projects, characterized by complex geometries, layered spaces, and a commitment to creating architecture that is both poetic and purposeful.
DBJ's approach emphasizes a seamless integration of architecture and landscape, aiming for designs that are confident yet courteous, and environmentally sustainable. Their projects often challenge conventional forms, resulting in buildings that are both surprising and contextually resonant.
The studio's excellence has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2020 NSW Architecture Medallion, the Sir G. Stephenson Award for Commercial Architecture, and the John Verge Award for Interior Architecture for the Phoenix Central Park project.
