The Studio
peckvonhartel provide design services to all facets of the built environment including advisory, project development, planning and management, procurement advice, execution and expert witness services.
We are trusted and loyal advisors to our clients. We listen deeply to our client’s objectives and respond with intelligent and responsible design solutions. We advocate for the best solution and are focused to drive inclusive and thorough processes in all our work.
The practice participates in the community at the broadest level. Founders Robert Peck and Yvonne von Hartel have individually received an Order of Australia for their contributions to urban design, architecture, design and building.
peckvonhartel was founded in 1980 by Principals Robert Peck AM and Yvonne von Hartel AM. Our portfolio is extensive and multi-disciplinary ranging from large scale master-planning and urban design to architecture and interior design. Our professional capacity is cross-sectored, creating intelligent and innovative design solutions for our clients based on business outcomes rather than sector.

Our mission is to work flexibly to achieve design harmony without compromising quality. Your vision and needs are the driving forces behind our end product.
