We are architects and we conduct tours of Sydney that are open to the general public.
Aimed at the level of the expert-enthusiast, our tours explore ideas through architecture offering an interface between in-depth architectural knowledge and the wider design-conscious community. Conversations are informal, each tour driven by particular themes and threads that attempt to decode the city whilst stimulating new ways of thinking about and seeing Sydney.
Taking the form of a series of urban provocations, each tour is a jargon-free exercise in story-telling. We want you to understand the why of the city whilst we explore the most provocative and inspiring projects Sydney houses – works of contemporary architecture, public art and landscape that inspire and delight but also projects that reveal something of Sydney’s grimy pulse. If a project is awesome we celebrate it, if it’s rubbish we take note as we reveal the vibrant network of invisible forces – political, economic, environmental and cultural that give the city form.
Get SAW feet. Sydney will never look the same again. Promise!

Sydney Mini-City Guide
We have been beavering away these last few months, squeezing all the things we love about Sydney onto an A4 sheet of paper.
We asked ourselves – if we were you – what would we love to be told about Sydney? When you join one of our tours you will receive one of these bad boys; our little gift to you!
