inDETAIL with Lachlan Nielsen and Morgan Jenkins, Nielsen Jenkins – Sydney

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

Nielsen Jenkins is an award winning architectural practice from Brisbane, Australia.

The work of the practice explores key ideas of landscape, subtraction, connections and materiality in order to achieve client specific outcomes that are responsive to context and place. These explorations form the basis of all its work, from residential and commercial architecture to furniture construction and design.

The work of the practice has been published and awarded both in Australia and internationally. Current projects are underway in suburban, coastal & rural sites in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

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 Sydney for a night of networking and insightful architecture shared with like-minded people over drinks and canapés.

Lachlan Nielsen Director, Nielsen Jenkins

B. Architecture – Hons / B.Business

Lachlan is a Director of Nielsen Jenkins, after running his own awarded and published architecture studio Nielsen Workshop for 7 years prior. His key experience working on cultural buildings came whilst working in Dublin for O’Donnell and Tuomey on the Belfast Lyric Theatre from 2008-2009 where he worked on the design and documentation of the interior of the main concert hall. Through experience building some of his own projects (such as Mt Tamborine House & East Brisbane House) and those of former employers, he has been able to retrospectively achieve his Queensland Building License and as such brings an in-depth understanding of the assembly and crafting of buildings. He is also a furniture maker and this immense knowledge of materials and the craft of their assembly brings Lachlan a unique ability to design and document buildings with clarity, efficiency and elegance.

Morgan Jenkins Co-Director, Nielsen Jenkins

B.Architecture - Hons

Morgan is a Director of Nielsen Jenkins, after running his own awarded and published architecture studio Morgan Jenkins Architecture for 6 years prior. In the early stages of his own practice, Morgan explored this intersection between the built form, landscape, community and the city by being Co-creator and Creative Director of The End of the Line Festival, a free community festival in Woolloongabba, Brisbane which hosted 4000-10000 people annually between 2014-2019. Morgan travelled through London, Barcelona and Prague as part of the Dulux Study Tour in 2017 and was moved by the way some large practices had brought other design disciplines under their own studio roof. Since then, Nielsen Jenkins has employed landscape designers and plays an active role in the design, documentation and installation of landscape elements within their projects to achieve an integrated design outcome that gives equal priority to both the built and unbuilt components of site.
