TROWER FALVO ARCHITECTS


About


Trower Falvo Architects is an award winning, design focused practice established in 2020. As a primary team of two, Dayne Trower and Simona Falvo, the practice is fundamentally one of collaboration between both directors, striving to achieve built work that embraces our focus on design through careful observation and meaningful intervention.

We celebrate the process of making architecture through building, research and art practice.
