About Architect Fin & Co.

Byron Bay and Sydney Architects

We are a small team led by Fin Murray, an Architect with over 24 years experience designing renovations and new houses in Sydney and in Byron Bay. We are Architects who specialise in designing contemporary renovations for older style houses without losing their existing character.

We are based in Brunswick Heads, near Byron Bay with Fin having moved to Byron Bay from Sydney in 2013. We frequently travel to Sydney where an equal share of our projects are, to meet clients on site. We have vast experience with Byron Shire, Ballina, Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick, City of Sydney, Inner West, North Sydney, Mosman and Willoughby Council’s along with numerous others.

Our clients include people from all walks of life – from first home buyers, to young families, investors, retiree’s and everything in between.

We are highly passionate about the renovation of old terraces, semi’s and free-standing dwellings, such as Californian Bungalows, Federation Houses and Queenslanders. We aim to create contemporary living environments which meet client needs and complement existing heritage characteristics. We like the charm of old things with modern living and functionality added in.

If there’s nothing to adapt or re-use, we love designing new houses from scratch with a clean slate. We also take on apartment and commercial projects from time to time – having years of experience in retail shopping centres in previous roles.

We are fascinated by light and space and a large focus of our work is in exploring how these qualities can enhance what a house feels like to live in. We like the challenge of achieving this in older buildings. Fundamentally we enjoy designing homes that meet the requirements of the people who live in them – particularly families, small and large.

We have a broad trusted network of different Consultants and Builders both in Sydney and around Byron Bay, which helps make the process smoother from start to finish.

Fin is currently a registered Architect in NSW and has over 24 years experience as an Architect and Interior Designer across a range of residential and commercial projects both locally and overseas. Fin established the office in 2006. Previously he worked as a Design Manager for retail landlords AMP Capital and Colonial First State as well as Shanghai based residential property developer SPG Land.

When we’re not designing, we love spending time with family, surfing, travelling and doing pretty much anything in the great outdoors.
