About our aspirations
Glyde_Bautovich are architects, urban designers and planners who work together and separately to transform resources, regulations, programs, and ideas into places of beauty.
We believe in the ‘spirit of place’ or genius loci and passionately engage in the art of making meaningful places of distinctive character through a careful process.
We research and analyse client aspirations, economics, demographics, urban structure, history, building typologies and appropriate precedents.
We re-use and revisit these layers that are beneath the surface to inform an appropriate outcome.
The place becomes a palimpsest set within its context.
The experience of the public space, what makes the city or place stick together, becomes rich, activated and vital.
Our analysis feeds into the architectural process which becomes form driven whereby we mould the fabric of the building to engage with nature, capture light and air, in a way that we know will lead to joyful inhabitation.
We breath in information, aspirations and breath out a new space or building as an offering to the people of the city and those who occupy them.

Architect
Christian Glyde
Christian was born into a family of builders and architects. He grew up on a building site before deciding to study architecture, graduating from Deakin University in 1996. He went on to work in many of Melbourne and Sydney’s top architectural firms before moving to Sydney in 2011. He established Glyde Architects shortly thereafter and has been collaborating with urban designer Jennifer Bautovich on most projects during that time.
In 2019 Glyde Architects merged to form Glyde_Bautovich Architects and Urban Planners.
Christian has been responsible for the design of many award winning schools, mixed use and apartment buildings, houses, restaurant interiors and commercial buildings over the last 20 years.
Christian specialises in design and client management. Each building he designs merges clearly defined ideas, light, air and nature into liveable forms that enhance the public realm.
