Fast Forward 2024: Andrew Maynard

Andrew Maynard began Austin Maynard Architects (then Andrew Maynard Architects) in 2002. Born, raised and educated in Tasmania, Andrew moved to Melbourne after graduating from the University of Tasmania.

He has won many awards, including: the Canberra Medallion; The Eleanor Cullis-Hill National Architecture Award; The John and Phyllis Murphy Award and many more. Andrew’s primary focus has been single residential homes; however, in recent years Andrew and Austin Maynard Architects have delved into multi-residential housing as both developer and architect, resulting in Terrace House (pictured), an 8.2-star sustainable community that won ArchDaily’s Building of the Year award, Gold at the Good Design Awards and a swathe of sustainability and architecture awards; the 9.1-star ParkLife at the Nightingale Village; and Slate House, an 8.2-star development in Brighton.

Andrew was a founding director of Nightingale Housing. In 2022, Austin Maynard Architects won Dezeen’s prestigious Architecture Studio of the Year award.

Andrew was the guest speaker at Te Pare School of Architecture's Fast Forward lecture in April 2024
