Angus Rose

Angus Rose is a registered architect with significant experience in residential, workplace, civic, and urban design projects. A national studio director at dwp | design worldwide partnership, he is an advocate for considered, evidence based responses for our built environment. Angus sits on the Property Council of Australia’s Hunter Committee and is a regular contributor to policy development, most notably Maximum Opportunity: a taskforce he coordinated, and the transport oriented development study Maximum Opportunity 2.0.
Driven by the desire to understand and solve complex functional and spatial problems, Angus has designed for cities and regions throughout Australia, and his passion for re-imagining the framework of the urban fabric has seen councils and shires revise planning instruments to implement positive change. He brings this big picture thinking to all projects and oversees projects from feasibility assessment through sketch design, design development and contract administration to completion. Using effective project management skills, he builds strong relationships with team members, clients and consultants.
Currently undertaking doctoral research at the University of Newcastle with a focus on agility in the urban fabric, Angus has a rigorous, energetic approach to design, looking beyond the brief to develop planning models and aesthetic proposals aligned with strategic goals, client and user expectations, and business models, to ensure projects meet their potential within the budget, and recognise the changing environment in which we live.
