Clare Design was established in 1979 on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Lindsay and Kerry Clare are a husband and wife team who have produced architectural projects for more than 35 years, including a diverse range of housing and major urban and public buildings. Their work has been consistently acknowledged at home and internationally for design excellence and environmental performance. Haig Beck and Jackie Cooper write, “The Clares” ideas about experiencing natural light and ventilation are merged with their ideas about typology.They fuse ideas about type and climate into building form. Their buildings allow occupants to engage with architecture and the world outside, reinforcing the essential connection with place.”Lindsay + Kerry were jointly awarded the RAIA Gold Medal in 2010 and have over 35 RAIA awards for built works. Their practice is now based in Sydney and the Gold Coast to undertake selected projects across Australia’s eastern seaboard. Their recently completed Melbourne Docklands Library is the first public building to achieve a six star GreenStar rating.Alongside practice Lindsay and Kerry continue their review roles for local Council governments, and teaching as Visiting Professors at the Abedian School of Architecture, Bond University, and as Professors at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Newcastle.
