inDETAIL with Dave Bickmore and Graham Charbonneau, studio gram – Hobart

Brickworks is excited for the return of the inDETAIL Speaker Series.

Established in 2014 by Co-Directors Dave Bickmore and Graham Charbonneau, studio gram stands at the forefront of Australia’s architecture and interior design landscape. Rooted in a passion for harmonising the familiar with the unexpected, they are committed to delivering transformative commercial and hospitality projects that position people and placemaking at the core of their philosophy.

They are creators of destinations where people gather, connect, and thrive. Their dedication to placemaking, coupled with a people-centric approach, ensures that their projects transcend the ordinary, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts and minds of those who experience them. With a number of national and international awards to their name, their work is collaboratively crafted, artfully considered, and inspired by enduring design solutions.

In 2018 studio gram were awarded the prestigious Emerging Interior Practice of the Year at the World Interior News Awards, and in 2022, awarded the Emerging Architect Prize at the SA Architecture Awards.

In 2023, the Monarto Safari Park Visitor Centre, in collaboration with Intro Architecture, received the highest honour in the Australian Institute of Architects’ SA Architecture Awards - the SA Medal.

This event will be hosted by Stephen Varady, architect and collaborator, who shares Brickworks passion for architecture, design and innovation.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brickworks Design Studio Hobart for a night of networking and insightful architecture shared with like-minded people over drinks and canapés.

Dave Bickmore Director, studio gram

David graduated from the University of South Australia with a Masters of Architecture in 2009. Following Graduation David joined, international practice, HASSELL working on a number of major projects including the Western Grandstands at the Adelaide Oval, the University of Adelaide Learning Hub and the St Aloysius College Year 12 Centre Development.

Dave co-founded studio gram in early 2014 with Graham Charbonneau and today the studio has grown into a team of 9 collaborators with work ranging from small hospitality and retail fit-outs, to highly detailed residential and commercial projects throughout Australia and Asia.

A definite relationship between Architecture, interiors, and object has been the driving force behind the conception of projects with a focus on crafting the highest quality environments, rich with narrative and layered experiential qualities, amplifying the particular environmental, social, cultural and economic conditions of a site.

Whilst his project work, and that of the studio’s, has been awarded Nationally and Internationally on multiple occasions, his personal contribution to the Architectural profession has been recognised as the recipient of the UniSA AIA Advancement of Architecture Prize, the Jack Hobbs McConnell Fellowship, the SA Emerging Architect Prize, as well as being included in Mezzanine Magazines ‘Top 20 under 40 designers’ in Australia, and The Advertisers list of most influential South Australians.

In 2021, Dave was appointed to the South Australian Government’s Office for Design and Architecture - Design Review Panel.

Graham Charbonneau Director, studio gram

Graham graduated from the University of South Australia with a Masters of Architecture in 2009, and in the same year completed some of his first private projects. Following a year of self-employment, Graham joined, national practice, Hames Sharley working on a number of major projects including the Adelaide Oval Redevelopment in design based roles.

Graham moved into full time private work at the beginning of 2013 and subsequently co-founded studio gram in early 2014 with Dave Bickmore. The studio has grown into a team of 9 collaborators with work ranging from small hospitality and retail fit-outs, to highly detailed residential and commercial projects throughout Australia and Asia.

His work is designed with rigour and a strong emphasis on interiors. Projects are conceptualized from the inside out, embedded with narratives that add to the meaning of place. This is achieved through an acute attention to all elements of a project, from the macro elements to the micro details.

Graham’s personal contribution to the Architectural profession includes time spent as a sessional staff member at the University of South Australia, and more recently he has been appointed to the South Australian Government’s Office for Design and Architecture’s Design Review Panel.

His work, and that of the studio has been awarded Nationally and Internationally on multiple occasions, he as also personally been recognised as the recipient of the UniSA AIA Advancement of Architecture Prize, the SA Emerging Architect Prize, inclusion in Mezannine Magazine’s ‘Top 20 Under 40 designers’ in Australia, and The Advertisers list of most influential South Australians.

Graham is also a contributing member of the Association for Consulting Architects, and takes particular interest in the Business of Small Practice Forum, where he has been an invited speaker in the past.
