Ink Duck

We’re Ink Duck (formerly Tanya Mathers Architecture & Design)- the tiny but mighty Brisbane-based architects designing spaces where people work, learn and live well. Uncompromising architecture that meets your brief, ticks your project boxes and delivers a little something more? That’s our deal. And we deliver it by taking a different approach. At Ink Duck, what we aim for is the kind of creative audacity that makes a person say, “let’s make a film about a tornado full of sharks”. And we approach practical project constraints—like timelines, materials and budgets—not as hurdles to overcome but as fuel for fresh ideas and innovation. When you work with our team, you can expect us to leave architecture-speak, design hype and egos at the door. Instead, we get straight to what matters most to your space, your project and you—so we can plan, problem-solve and design it to life. Peruse our projects and you might find there’s no signature Ink Duck style. That’s intentional. Instead of putting our own stamp on the work, we deliver spaces with the unique style of the client, the feel of the space and the ideas we bring to life together. If standard is what you need, we’ll do it and we’ll do it well. But if you’re looking for an alternative to the norm, we’re not afraid to stick out our creative necks to help you achieve it. No matter the size or type of project we’ll put all our deft-problem solving, commercial savvy, exceptional design skills, original ideas and small team personal approach behind it—that’s the Ink Duck style.
