Office gift to retiring Melbourne Director, Andrew Bunting

Andrew retired as a Director of Architectus Group Holdings on the 30th June 2010.
Andrew formerly commenced employment with the Practice as a Director of McKeever Smith in 1985. In those days Andrew, who is an accountant not an architect, wore a range of brown and green suits, a big bushy beard and widescreen thick rimmed spectacles.

It has been a very interesting journey.  He has been very much a part of establishing the Architectus culture in Melbourne – a culture built around a progressive, enjoyable and constructive workplace.

Andrew has always committed himself to lifelong learning.  He has been a teacher, part time theologian; he has a Masters in Accountancy and a Doctorate in Education Design from the Faculty of Education at Melbourne University. In particular the Melbourne Practice owes a huge amount of thanks to Andrew. As we all know architectural practice has many highs and lows and through the unity and spirit of the Directors and our long serving staff we have not only survived but developed the practice in so many ways.

On behalf of all the Melbourne Practice we would like to thank Andrew for the huge contribution he has made, we will be forever grateful for the leadership, business ethics, commitment and the support that he has given us.

Andrew leaves us still sporting a thick grey bushy moustache (despite numerous attempts by various staff members to remove it), a slightly smarter dresser, wiser, slightly heavier and as a unique accountant who has made a huge impact on this little piece of the world of architecture.
