The studio recognises the continuing culture of the Nyoongar Whadjuk people; the traditional custodians of the Wadjak Boodjar (Perth land) where the practice is based. We wish to acknowledge the strength of their continuing culture and offer our respects to Elders past and present.

We look to make a positive contribution to the wellbeing, culture and reconciliation process with all First Nation communities throughout the delivery of projects.

Director and chartered civil and structural engineer Ian Hamilton is passionate about delivering low carbon, architecturally focussed projects. He particularly enjoys working collaboratively to deliver aspirational spaces in which to live, work and learn.

Ian has spent the last 15 years honing his skills on cutting edge projects in London and internationally, often using sustainable materials in innovative ways to achieve complex and large scale geometric forms, delivering refined, coordinated and efficient designs for clients.

Studio West Structures maintains close links with Ian’s previous employer, Engenuiti, and continues to support their project delivery; whilst also benefiting from access to a full team of civil, structural and BIM colleagues to support project development in Australia and the UK.
