⚫ OUR VALUES Behind the scenes this year, we’ve taken time to reassess and articulate what guides us at PDT Architects.

⚫ BURPENGARY STATION As part of Queensland Rail’s Station Accessibility Upgrade Program, PDT Architects recently helped deliver the transformation of three train stations, including Burpengary Station. This project focused on accessibility, safety and long-term connectivity for one of Brisbane’s key outer-suburban stations. Working with Queensland Rail and Hutchinson Builders, the design approach centred on creating a functional, user-friendly environment that enhances travel for every customer.   Burpengary Station features: • New lifts and footbridge, improving platform access • New station office with accessible ticket windows • Safer, raised platforms with extended shelters • Accessible amenities and improved customer facilities • A reconfigured carpark with nearly 500 spaces and upgraded kiss’n’ride • Secure bike enclosures and lockers to encourage active transport • New signage to improve wayfinding, along with upgraded security and lighting • Local artwork integrated to reflect the community’s identity Through projects like Burpengary Station, we continue to support Queensland Rail’s vision for an inclusive and accessible transport network. #pdt #pdtarchitects #architecture #interiordesign #design #brisbanedesigner #brisbane #architecturequeensland #designqueensland #australianarchitecture #architectureanddesign #Accessibility #publictransport #transportdesign #Infrastructure #QueenslandRail #Burpengary

This week, our own Oliver Thessman joined a panel of industry professionals for Property Leaders Brisbane Event: The Big Debate - Do You Add Value?   Ollie represented the architectural perspective to make the case for how Architects add value to every project, alongside The Project Manager Andrew Lowther, Gallagher Jeffs The Town Planner Sophie Lam, Urbis The Engineer Toby Chalmers, IPS (Infrastructure Project Solutions) And moderated by Quantity Surveyor Matthew Mackey FRICS Ollie shared his insights into the unique role Architects play in shaping successful outcomes: • Translating ambition and constraints into coherent, buildable solutions • Managing complexity through listening, testing, visualising, and refining ideas • Acting as the central communicator between disciplines - connecting clients, engineers, planners, and project managers • Maintaining design intent while balancing technical and regulatory demands • Bringing emotional intelligence and integrity to navigate real-world challenges • Championing collaboration and mutual respect, because great projects rely on every discipline’s strengths   The debate sparked plenty of laughs (and a few friendly digs), but ultimately reinforced what we all know, the best results come from collaboration, curiosity, and shared respect across the industry.   Thanks to SHAPE Australia for hosting and sponsoring such a fantastic event, Property Leaders Brisbane for bringing together the industry for an entertaining and insightful evening, and the other panellists for their perspectives and friendly banter.   A few snaps from the night, including Ollie balancing all the hats that Architects juggle! #pdt #pdtarchitects #architecture #interiordesign #design #brisbanedesigner #brisbane #architecturequeensland #designqueensland  #australianarchitecture #architectureanddesign #thebigdebate #networking #teamwork #collaboration
