Justin Carter

Justin joined Swanbury Penglase as a graduate in 2001 gaining broad project experience across a range of project types allowing him to develop the broad range of skills required to be a competent and professional architect.

In 2006, Justin joined our Melbourne practice where he shared the responsibilities of managing the office. During his time in Melbourne, Justin was responsible for the delivery of significant retail and industrial projects in Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Returning to Adelaide in 2008, Justin continued to demonstrate strong leadership skills and was soon promoted as an Associate and then Associate Director of the firm.

Justin was appointed as a Director of Swanbury Penglase in 2021 – in the same year that he marked his twenty-year anniversary with the firm.

Justin is a skilled designer and drives a positive design culture within the office. Justin’s approach is highly consultative, believing that good design is a result of the productive collaboration of all team members.

Justin works across a broad range of project sectors, providing services to government and private organisations, including education, commercial, industrial, tourism and recreation, retail and hospitality, multi-residential, aboriginal and community housing and land development.

Justin enjoys a healthy work / life balance. At home, Justin can be found creating monuments from LEGO or building towers out of blocks – but only for the enjoyment of being demolished by his three children.
