Justin, a founding Director of Schreiber Hamilton Architecture, has crafted and evolved the practice into the collaborative business of SHAC we know today.
Justin’s strength as Managing Director of SHAC is in leadership within the SHAC team, meeting and forming strong and lasting relationships with likeminded
people and setting the pace for innovation in design as a fundamental commodity for communities. Crafted over 28 years of architectural experience
in Newcastle and the Hunter Region, Justin’s skills in architecture, design, urban design, interior design and management of projects is attributed
to his passionate, positive and pragmatic approach.
In addition to Justin’s leadership role he has a wide range of experience as Project Architect in residential, corporate, commercial, retail, industrial,
recreational, civic and heritage projects. In conjunction with Justin’s professional practice and the combined skills of the SHAC team are donated
to various community projects including a Youth Suicide Prevention Retreat in the NSW’s Barrington Tops. The simple, timeless ancient principles of
symmetry, hierarchy, form and order, together with local timber and rammed earth, helped create a Monastery, Chapel and Retreat Accommodation, an honest,
natural, grass roots response to aid the healing of the human condition.
"Firmness, Commodity and Delight”, are three elements every student of architecture learns, handed down from the Roman Architect Vitruvius. Justin
puts into practice these principles to ensure SHAC’s projects are honest, efficient and value for money with an enduring, uniquely inspiring quality.
