Nielsen Jenkins is a multi-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 small-scale commercial and residential architecture to furniture construction and design.
The work of the practice has been published and awarded broadly in Australia and in 2018 Nielsen Jenkins was awarded the Queensland Emerging Architecture Prize.
