ARCH Artifex

ARCH Artifex is an architectural and design practice working on built environment projects.

Background

Design practices engage FR2 where a scheme needs testing against how it would be constructed — staging, access and sequence — before the design is committed. ARCH Artifex is FR2’s longest-running design-side relationship: the work spans metro conversion and station upgrade packages, maintenance centre and yard remodelling, resignalling and precinct renewal, alongside lead consultants and contractors including Aurecon, Jacobs, HSEJV and Transport for NSW.
