Studio Mango is a Cairns-based architectural practice specialising in planning and architectural design that is appropriate to tropical lifestyles.

We are committed to working in a partnership with our clients to achieve their project goals and outcomes that are environmentally sustainable.

We believe in architecture that has modern style, is expressive of function and materials and embodies sustainable design principles. Our work is inspired by traditional building forms from tropical areas, such as the Queenslander, the Australian beach shack, Pacific Island huts and South East Asian compounds. Our buildings consume less energy and resources and are cooler for occupants.

James Maude, has worked on a broad range of projects in the North Queensland region for more than ten years.

We have skills and experience in:

•	feasibility and planning studies, including master planning, schematic design, urban design and funding submissions
•	design and documentation of residential, community and commercial projects
•	project management and contract documentation of a diverse range of projects, including remote area projects
•	working effectively with community groups and Indigenous people, using participatory processes.

Our office of five staff, based in Parramatta Park, is well resourced to respond to your project needs. We utilise state of the art building modeling software and produce 3-d models continuously during the design process so that clients have a greater understanding of the end product.
