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.

Industrial Warehouses
Prestons, Western Sydney
Glyde_Bautovich were commissioned to undertake urban planning and architectural services for the design of this large scale industrial warehouse and storage project comprising 20,500m2 of leasable area on a 28,000 m2 site. The site is located 30kms west of Sydney CBD and is within a growth corridor for industrial uses.
The site is located adjacent to a school and industrial sites, some under construction. Truck access to the site was challenging as it could not be made from the main street frontage and the road to the rear had not bee dedicated to Council. Glyde_Bautovich crafted a good relation with the planner and monitored this challenging project through council to an approval.
This project is comprised of simple warehouses 100-350m2, all requiring heavy rigid vehicle access. The existing site was a resting place for old industrial objects and these had a certain power to them as they sat on the over grown ground. We were inspired by their quietness and raw beauty.
This led to our main conceptual idea which was to make large scale building forms from raw concrete and steel with bold colour high lights igniting the possibility of the poetic power that large buildings can generate.
