Our Story

ABOUT US

Donovan Payne Architects has been delivering high-quality architecture across Western Australia since 1997. The practice is led by Director Scott Oswald, an experienced architect with a strong background in community and civic projects.

Under Scott’s leadership, the practice continues its reputation for thoughtful, enduring design that connects people, place, and environment. Building on more than 25 years of project delivery, we remain committed to creating spaces that serve communities for generations to come.

Specialising in community-based design and commercial infrastructure, Donovan Payne strives to be sustainable while also creating buildings that cultivates connectivity between people, places, and the natural environment.

Our expertise in community-use infrastructure, is established through the broader spectrum as we offer excellence in the private, commercial and the public sectors where requested – with particular interest in project complexity, and un-usual scenarios which require unexpected solutions, and precise architectural thought.

Each project is addressed with comprehensive research and design rigor to ensure we consistently provide our clients and future building users with the highest quality of building efficiencies that are durable and adaptable.
