Eoghan Lewis Architects
The team
Eoghan Lewis Architects is an office of two people - architect Eoghan Lewis and graduate William Stever.
Eoghan grew up in the Adelaide Hills and studied architecture at the University of South Australia. On graduation, he moved to Germany where he worked with prominent firms including Zvi Hecker Architekt (Berlin) and Auer and Weber (Stuttgart). He returned to Australia in 1997 where he worked with Sydney practices Engelen Moore, BVN, Collins +Turner and Hill Thalis Architecture and Urbanism.
Eoghan formed ELA in 2012, an evolution of his first practice, Supple Design. Eoghan is also the founder of the Sydney Architecture Walks, an ongoing public project that reflects a long-standing passion for contemporary architecture, cities and the stories they tell. Eoghan is a registered architect.
William Stever completed his master of architecture at the University of Newcastle, graduating with distinction in 2022 before moving to Sydney to work with ELA. In addition to being a fine young designer he is a passionate old-school photographer and all round urban-o-phile.

“The key to the project was its simplicity. Eoghan responded to our Brief in a direct and assertive way so the building took shape very quickly and captured the imagination of key stakeholders, decision makers and authorities.”

“We have no hesitation in recommending Eoghan Lewis to anyone seeking a creative architect who combines originality of vision with a practical can-do approach.”
Research
Our work is grounded in research and collaboration.
Eoghan founded the Sydney Architecture Walks in 2000. The tours the studio run are public conversations about architecture, urbanism and public space. They are built off the back of 25 years of research on Sydney and its most interesting contemporary architecture. The research is ongoing and feeds into the practice and our design methodology in many ways.
