Welcome
Keystone Architects is an experienced, full
service architectural practice based in
Maryborough, Queensland and serving the
Wide Bay and Burnett regions and
beyond. We regularly undertake projects in
Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Childers,
Bundaberg, Gympie, Cooroy, Kingaroy,
Murgon, Gayndah and Mundubbera and have
been as far afield as Agnes Water and
Theodore.
We have been operating here since 1990 and
have established a broad network of fruitful
working relationships with local authorities,
consulting engineers, surveyors, builders,
tradesmen and suppliers- in fact, the full team
necessary to execute any kind of building
project.
We hold all appropriate licences and
insurances and are prequalified to Level 3
with the Queensland State Government. This
means that we can, and do, undertake
projects worth a few thousand dollars up to
projects worth millions of dollars.
What do we do?
We provide traditional architectural services,
working closely with all stakeholders and
authorities to achieve a compliant, cost
effective and operationally complete building
on behalf of our clients.
Our work is undertaken in structured stages,
the extent of our involvement depending on
where in the process we get on board and
how much assistance each of our clients
requires from us.
Our work is delivered electronically using
words and both two dimensional and three
dimensional images to describe how a
particular building outcome is to be achieved.
We work with qualified specialist consultants
such as structural, civil, hydraulic, acoustic
and fire engineers, to name just a few. Our
role is to obtain advice appropriate to each
project and ensure that it fully incorporated
into the design process. At times we even
collaborate with other architects.
“I have been extremely happy with the professionalism of Keystone Architects. We
continue to have a great relationship after 14 years of extensive staged projects on both
my sites”
Martin Singer, Martin Singer Motors

Interior Fitout
Fitout projects tend to fit into one of the previously described categories of architectural work. They involve taking an existing internal space and designing a layout and décor to suit a new or an expanded use. Our projects include doctor’s surgeries, offices, bars, restaurants and shops.
What is a keystone?
It’s the middle
stone of an arch – the one that
holds it all together.
That’s what we can do for your
building project.
