Absolutely. FORGE specialises in transforming custom architectural visions into brilliant realities for public realm infrastructure projects. By collaborating closely with architects, their clients and the relevant technical specialists from the initial concept stages of your project to final completion, we consistently bring even the most complex and creative design visions to life—on time and on budget.

FORGE specialises in bringing custom architectural to visions to life. We have extensive experience in the design and delivery of fully custom public infrastructure projects with a portfolio including sculptural art installations, shade shelters, bespoke play structures, bridges, boardwalks and viewing platforms. Collaborating closely with you and your creative team, our in-house design and delivery specialists will help you refine your vision based on your project’s specific site, budget and aesthetic requirements. This includes full prototyping and material testing as required to ensure the best possible outcome.

Yes. The FORGE Methodology is built upon a wholistic delivery offering that combines specialist design verification, structural engineering, manufacturing methodology, risk mitigation, planning capability, pre-assembly, project management and construction expertise, all from one team.

It’s never too early. The sooner the collaboration process begins on your project the better the outcome will likely be, and the smoother the process to achieve it. Whether your vision is large or small, simple or complex, the benefits of early engagement can be especially noticeable during the critical initial design stages, resulting in far greater certainty around cost, scope and creative intent.

Yes. Many of the projects we deliver for our clients each year are fully custom and highly complex, requiring significant levels of innovation in terms of both design and materiality. Rather than rigid solutions, we work collaboratively with architects to explore different possibilities and shape bespoke creative outcomes that are hand-tailored to the project’s specific objectives, vision and budget. Blending freedom of creative expression with deep structural rigour, the FORGE Methodology allows us to successfully deliver architectural visions of all sizes, mediums and intricacies.

Absolutely—and we often do. When designed cleverly and planned effectively, using sustainable, recycled and even reclaimed materials can be a highly creative and effective way to reduce the environmental impact of a community structure—while also sending strong sustainability and provenance messages to the wider community. FORGE has considerable experience at designing and constructing with recycled materials. In some instances, such as Highlands Sustainable Park in Victoria, the materials have actually been sourced from the site itself, and would have otherwise have ended up in landfill.

FORGE has successfully delivered hundreds of custom structures and architect-designed projects across Australia. Our portfolio features major collaborations in metropolitan and regional areas of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT.

Yes. In fact many of our most acclaimed outdoor projects have been expertly delivered in some of Australia’s busiest public spaces including bustling regional town centres and even the heart of the Sydney and Adelaide CBDs.

Yes we do. With dedicated national pre-assembly facilities and local project delivery teams, we work extensively with clients across metropolitan and regional areas of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT.

FORGE has partnered on numerous high-profile public artwork installations across Australia with many award-winning projects in our portfolio, including multiple collaborations with Indigenous artists.

A beautiful structure must also be a safe structure—and these outcomes shape every project decision at FORGE. Right from the initial design stages of your project, deep and ongoing thought is given to maintaining creative integrity, structural integrity and user safety. From an engineering perspective, structures must be designed in line with all relevant AS codes and guidelines, ensuring they withstand not only the weight of community usage but also environmental factors such as soil conditions, wind and weather, tides and even flooding events. Safety considerations extend to the provision of appropriate materials, non-slip surfaces, clear sight lines, easy access points and potentially lighting to ensure community areas feel safe and welcoming at all hours, day and night.

FORGE has a long history of successful collaborations on custom architect-led public structures across Australia. Many of the projects in our portfolio have been recognised for excellence by industry bodies including AIA, AILA and UDIA.

Ensuring enduring aesthetic quality and long-term durability is directly impacted by two critical factors: the design and the materials. Typically, these decisions are guided by the creative vision, the scale of the structure, the volume of usage, the local climate and other unique characteristics of the site. Durability, maintenance and public safety issues are always considered. FORGE brings decades of experience designing with an extensive range of natural and composite materials for public infrastructure projects.
