Chloe rayfield

Registered Architect ARB NSW #9612

M. Arch (Hons 1), University of Sydney

B. Des (Architecture), University of Sydney

Chloe is a registered architect, who graduated in 2013 with first class honours, as well as being awarded Graduate of the Year for the University of Sydney, and the Ethel M Chettle Prize for academic performance.

Chloe is experienced in designing and delivering residential, commercial, mix-use and public buildings, including schools, museums, urban master plans, apartment buildings and bespoke houses. Chloe believes that good design must always start with the inherent beauty and character of the site, and is passionate about designing buildings which are deeply connected to their place. She also takes pleasure in following initial, high-level concept ideas right through to construction delivery, so that the built outcome is just as beautiful as the original design intent. 

Chloe spent her early career in the UK working on projects in London, the UAE, Angola and Canada, and returned to Sydney and to NSW projects in 2012. Her years overseas gave her an appreciation of human-scale design, walkability and fine-grain urban fabric. She also worked with some of the most stringent standards for environmentally sustainable design, including Passivhaus. 

Chloe is an active member of the architecture community, having spent 6 years on the Australian Institute of Architects' EmAGN committee (the Emerging Architects and Graduates' Network), as well as volunteering with the Architecture Foundation, the Living Futures Institute, and with the University of Sydney's Alumni engagement committee. She is a regular guest critic at the University of Technology, Sydney, and at the University of Sydney, and a regular juror for prizes within the Australian Institute of Architects. 

Past projects for which Chloe has been Project Architect have been awarded at the NSW Australian Institute of Architects Awards and at the Master Builder's Association Awards, as well as shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival.
