Baldasso Cortese is an established design practice with more than 35 years of experience in delivering exceptional projects. Our diverse team of more than 50 design professionals work across all studios, Melbourne, Geelong and Christchurch, New Zealand.

We are a collaborative studio focused on master planning, urban design, cultural, social and educational projects, both at home and abroad.

Our practice is well known for the diversity and depth of its portfolio. We have completed schools, colleges, religious buildings, theatres, community centres, social housing, aged care, health centres, mixed-use, commercial, and singular residential houses. We have designed over 100 Master Plans for schools and cities.

Each project is thoughtfully designed with the site and our client’s needs at the forefront of our design and delivery philosophy.

Our holistic approach to design sees us forming a genuine partnership with our clients - educating them on our process, inspiring a love of design and, together, delivering innovative practical buildings and enjoyable environments for the community. We inform and support our clients to navigate the construction process.

Our team approaches each project with a fresh and open mind. Through our understanding of architectural history, city culture, and social value, each design is a crafted response to its brief and context. Our design work is a blend of careful pragmatism, sustainable thinking and technical expertise.
