The evening was an opportunity to reflect on the people, partnerships, and projects that have shaped our practice over the past four decades. We extend our sincere thanks to all who attended and contributed to the celebration. We hope you enjoyed the evening’s entertainment and found engaging with our team both insightful and valuable.

Since the mergers with Geoff Street and Peter Anderson in Queensland and Stephen Cheney in Melbourne in 1996 and 2005, respectively, ARCH’s presence and capabilities have continued to grow in both reach and scope. Our legacy – from our origins as Suters Architects to our evolution as ARCH – stands as a testament to the calibre of talent we nurture and the trust our clients place in us to deliver outcomes that enhance and enrich communities.

Reflecting on the occasion, Director Scott Chapple said:

‍“This milestone is more than a celebration of the past, it’s a reminder of the deep relationships, shared purpose, and commitment to quality that have shaped who we are today. Our evolution is built on trust and collaboration, and as we look to the future, we remain dedicated to creating places that make a lasting difference for communities not only across Queensland but the whole of Australia and beyond.”

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible businesses and individuals who helped make our celebration truly unforgettable:

‍Mike Tyler  whose roving magic, with cards, coins, fire, and even borrowed items, astonished and delighted guests right before their eyes. Turrbal Dippil and Aunty Kathy for their generous Welcome to Country, grounding the evening in respect and connection to place, photographer Kirsten Cox whose talent and professionalism beautifully captured the spirit and energy of the night, Jamie Fraser and the team at Sage on Ann for the exceptional food, 160 Degrees for our magical "birthday" cake, and the fabulous roof terrace, Bellview9 Wesley House, whose stunning rooftop terrace provided the perfect setting for a night to remember.

As we look ahead, ARCH remains committed to shaping spaces that serve, inspire, and connect people – continuing a legacy that will grow even stronger in the decades to come. We look forward to greeting you at our next event.
