We’re a NSW ARB chartered architecture practice based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. The practice is led by registered architect and Class 2 NSW Design Practitioner Jerome Cateaux (B.Des, B.Arch, Syd Uni). Prior to establishing CATEAUX ARCHITECTS, Jerome worked for the acclaimed architectural firm Chrofi for 14 years, winning multiple national and international awards as project lead and co-heading the Residential & Special Projects Sector of the practice. With more than 17 years experience, he has extensive project experience on finely crafted architectural projects, leading the internal and external teams to deliver architecture of exceptional quality.

Our architecture is rooted in simplicity, thoughtful materiality, natural light, comfort, and a seamless connection to the landscape. 

We provide architectural services from residential homes, including bespoke furniture, interiors, renovations and new build homes to apartments, commercial and small public buildings.
