Adriano is committed to thoughtful design and architecture with a strong focus on people and place. His multidisciplinary design approach spans architecture and art, landscape and urbanism, believing that good design and occupant wellbeing is central to our practice and should be accessible to all, not just a privileged few.

Adriano Pupilli began private practice in 2010 on a foundation of private residential projects, as well as housing and health projects for remote indigenous communities in Australia, Papua New Guinea and Nepal, and civic projects in Australia and Italy. Through his early practice Adriano gained industry recognition for his nuanced response to site and the culture of place.

Adriano Pupilli Architects, formed in 2016, was commissioned to design a new surf life saving club at Long Reef on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, receiving State and National awards for public architecture and sustainability. He also delivered an award-winning library and community centre in Windale on the outskirts of Newcastle. Other projects include Shelly Beach Amenities, No.1 Martin Place Tenant Hub, Casa C, Ghost Gum House, Stealth House and Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club which is currently ongoing.

Adriano continues to enjoy applying a human-centred design approach to projects from mirco homes to public buildings, seeking out opportunities to bring inspiration and belonging for the people who call them home.
