Our Story

ABOUT US

Donovan Payne Architects is a privately owned and operated architectural practice, located in Western Australia, and founded by Kim Donovan and Carl Payne in 1997.

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.
