25 Years of Reddog Architects: Thank You for Building This With Us

In 2001, Reddog Architects opened its doors in Brisbane with a simple belief: that great architecture comes from great relationships. Twenty-five years later, that belief hasn’t changed. If anything, it has only been proven true, project after project, year after year.

This month, we’re celebrating our 25th anniversary (although are taking the opportunity to celebrate right across 2026!)  While milestones like this invite reflection on buildings and portfolios, what we keep coming back to is something less tangible but far more important: the people.

To our clients  Thank you for trusting us with something deeply personal, whether that was a family home, a community space, or a commercial vision years in the making. Every brief you brought us became a conversation, and every conversation shaped the architects we are today. Your trust is the reason we’ve had the privilege of doing this work for a quarter of a century.

To our consultants and collaborators  Thank you to all the engineers, builders, planners, and every specialist who has sat around the table with us. 

To our employees, past and present  Thank you for all your efforts, the sketches that became something real, and the care you’ve brought to every project, big or small. Reddog is not a building or a logo; it has always been about the people who have shown up, day after day, to do thoughtful, considered work. 

Twenty-five years is a long time in any industry, but it feels like a beginning as much as a milestone. We ae proud of where we have come from, and even more excited about what is ahead.

Thank you for being part of the last 25 years. Here’s to the next chapter.

Celebrating 25 years of Reddog

Celebrating 25 years of Reddog

Twenty-five years ago, Reddog Architects began with a dream to enhance the experience of place, to create memorable spaces, and to contribute in a positive way to our communities. That dream has far exceeded all our expectations. Since 2001, we have had the privilege of working with so many inspiring, enthusiastic, and creative people including our clients, consultants, builders, suppliers, and the team. Every project has its own story and characters, and so often these narratives define a successful project and provide everlasting memories.

This milestone isn’t just ours to celebrate, it belongs to every person who has been part of the Reddog story.

How It All Began

Reddog Architects was established in 2001 with a dream to enhance the experience of place, to create memorable spaces and contribute positively to our communities. From simple beginnings as a home-based practice, to a shared office space in Zig Zag Street, to our neon-lit warehouse in Prospect Street, and now our breezy home in Gotha Street, Fortitude Valley, the practice has grown steadily and purposefully.

Reddog has never been about one individual. It has always been about a group of people working collaboratively to create memorable spaces and places that reflect the aspirations and dreams of our clients and respond respectfully to context and climate. The journey has presented many challenges, but Reddog has always remained flexible and resilient in its design approach. We have designed both small and large-scale projects, collaborating, challenging pre-existing views, and seeing opportunities and possibilities.

Twenty-five years on, that founding spirit hasn’t changed one bit. Our journey continues and we are more excited about the future than ever.

Our story begins with Paul

The original Reddog!

When Paul founded Reddog Architects in 2001, he didn’t just open a practice, he wanted to create a firm that put people, place, and planet first.  Paul has spent 25 years proving that great architecture is about so much more than buildings.

2025 Reddog Christmas weekend

Every year, our Christmas party starts with a bit of mystery!

This year we had four clues to help guess the location for our annual weekend away.

“Of Roman origins with a king nearby”

“Where monkeys would go BIG”

“’63 Dylan waxing lyrical”

“It started with something holey, drifted towards the clouds, followed the water’s edge, and now finds itself in timber”

And the answer?

Living Design Series | Webinar

Upcoming webinar “Less than Usual” | Register now for the next Living Design Series webinar on 26 November (12 noon). Presented by Paul Worroll, this next webinar in the series explores how compact design can deliver generous and thoughtful living that is sustainable, equitable, affordable and is less than usual or normal. The Garden Bunkie is a starting point, whereby we’ll examine how space optimisation and the “tiny house” movement, informs a broader housing conversation. Comparative case studies — JB House, Clontarf House and Winship Shed — show how good ‘compact’ design responds to diverse households and contexts. Together, these projects highlight how smaller footprints can foster adaptability, affordability, and resilience. The session will share lessons learnt, design strategies, and insights into how alternative housing models can help architects reframe “living large” in a more sustainable, inclusive manner.

Brisbane Open House 2025

Brisbane Open House 2025

We loved welcoming visitors into our studio as part of last weekend’s Brisbane Open House. It was a chance to share the thinking behind our own workspace, a project where the details matter and the context matters even more.

Across the street, the beautiful curves and arches of Villa Maria offered inspiration. That language of form has been echoed in our Gotha Street office, a quiet nod to the stories already embedded in the streetscape. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see how architecture can respond, reflect and belong.
