As urban designers and architects, we believe we are responsible for laying the foundations for a better world. Creating meaningful places is our passion and our deeply experienced urban design and concept development team is here to assist you in stepping into the future. Led by Philip Gresley, we have spent decades actively engaging with planners and community development leaders to collaboratively envision our community’s future.
Our focus is broader than buildings
Our work takes many forms. We have grown an extensive portfolio of projects from community-led master planning, built-form guidelines, urban and precinct design, and place-making to business case & feasibility studies for funding applications. We will assist you to capture your community’s vision and design aspirations while providing realistic and achievable projects or guiding policies. We understand that sometimes projects have complex political contexts and we are experts at helping negotiate a clear path forward.
How do we do this? We are both down-to-earth and visionary, giving us the unique ability to Listen and Lead with you, your stakeholders and community groups. Our values shine through when working with people and our processes have proven highly successful over many projects for both private and government clients.
“…Gresley Abas, through the dedicated efforts of Libby and Grace, delivered an excellent precinct plan that stands as a testament to their proficiency, attention to detail, and ability to navigate the complexities of community-driven projects. It was a pleasure to work with them and witness their commitment to excellence. I wholeheartedly recommend Gresley Abas for their exceptional work in the area of recreation precinct planning.”
We deeply acknowledge that land is not ceded and that we are all on Aboriginal Country. This understanding drives our work to grow relationships and helps us on our journey of respect and healing. We believe this is the path to the most sustainable, enriched and equitable design outcomes for our future communities.
“Gresley Abas never walked away from a challenge and were prepared to work closely with the City’s team in order to achieve the best possible outcome”
