Work With Us
At CKDS, we believe great design starts with great people.
We are a multidisciplinary architecture and landscape practice delivering thoughtful, commercially responsive and design-led outcomes across residential, mixed-use, seniors living, education, community and commercial projects throughout NSW.
Since 2007, we’ve built a reputation for quality design, exceptional client service and collaborative project delivery — but what matters most to us is creating a workplace where talented people can do their best work, continue learning and genuinely enjoy being part of the team.
Our Culture
We’ve worked hard to build a studio environment that reflects somewhere we’d want to work ourselves: collaborative, supportive, creative and down-to-earth.
We value teamwork, open communication and respect for one another. Ideas are encouraged, opinions matter, and everyone is empowered to contribute - regardless of role or experience level. Our studios are intentionally designed to foster collaboration because we believe the best outcomes come from working together.
You’ll be surrounded by a team who care deeply about good design, quality outcomes and helping one another succeed.

Curiosity & Creativity
We encourage people to think differently, challenge ideas and contribute to design conversations. Good ideas can come from anywhere.
