Kawai Yeung

Ka Wai co-founded Kaunitz Yeung Architecture to create socially responsible, culturally sensitive, and humane architecture. At the heart of her work is a deep commitment to co-design and co-building with local communities. Together with her team, she has demonstrated that high-quality, transformative architecture is not a matter of cost, but of commitment.

She has had the privilege of working with more than 40 Indigenous communities across Australia, as well as many others throughout the Pacific. Kawai is dedicated to bridging social gaps and fostering the continuation of heritage and culture, with a particular focus on projects in health and aged care, cultural and art centres, schools, and housing.
