Enter Projects is located in the heart of the southern hemisphere, east of Sydney's CBD, in Edgecliff. Enter Projects not only thrives in the East’s high energy feel with its hip character and charm in abundance, but it also benefits from being based so centrally within Sydney.
Enter Projects is a design firm that sits at the forefront of technologically aided design. It utilizes radical 3D design programs, in conjunction with sketches and physical models, to revolutionize modern living. Enter’s philosophy is to be in a constant state of exploration. This is so that it can continually search and play with architectural styles that, although always engage with their social and local surroundings, are dynamic and expressive. With a detailed R&D stage for each project feeding into the design process, it evolves the understanding of the space and form, to produce results with high design integrity on a diverse scale.
