A Perth based multi-disciplined architectural practice founded by David Kirov.
A Perth based multi-disciplined architectural practice focusing on architecture, interior design and 3D animation. Our expertise are in residential, commercial, resorts, retail & heritage with a portfolio of projects nationally and internationally.
We are a team of experienced, passionate, and creative professionals with one objective: to produce innovative, sensitive, ecologically sustainable and visually attractive buildings that aim to satisfy both the functional and economic needs of our clients. Our studio collaborates closely, with a vast network of industry professionals and consultants, which allows for the successful integration and realisation of many unique design features into our projects, ensuring that our designs are not restricted in regards to their constructability. By utilising the latest in BIM modelling techniques and various visualisation platforms, we are able to catalyse the unique qualities of each project to create a concept-driven design process across multiple disciplines.
Through intense rigor, invention and process, we produce experiential spaces that heighten sensory perception that evokes a reaction – one that people can feel, not just see, inspiring thought and reflection. Form and spaces are not just limited to the site; it is entwined within the surrounding contextual fabric, hence DGK Architects believe in a holistic approach to create harmony between the two realms.
David Kirov is the founder, principal and nominated architect for DGK Architects. David has 19 years’ experience across a variety of different sectors, such as; residential, commercial, high-rise towers, resorts, retail shopping centres, health, hospitality, industrial, education and heritage before starting his private practice in 2018.
His academic studies include Bachelor of Applied Science, Master of Architecture and registration with the Architects board of WA. During his career David worked for several Tier 1 architectural practices working on large scale commercial projects both nationally and internationally with projects valued up to $1billion. His career also included taking the role as the principal design architect for boutique architectural practices including one of Perth’s prominent luxury home builders, and senior architectural team leader for Australian’s largest retail shopping centre asset owners.
David recognizes that every design is distinctive and unique and therefore, believes in anchoring each work in its specific site and circumstantial context. His attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills gives him a greater insight into the socio-economic conditions, ensuring that every project he works on is completed to the highest possible standard, and within the given time and budget constraints. David’s enthusiasm and attention to detail is fundamental to his studio’s success, motivating a highly dedicated team of architects and is directly involved in every project, contributing at all stages.
