Claire Matheson

Studio Lead

Architecture is the realisation of a design concept in built form.

Claire joined AJC in 2025, bringing over 25 years of experience delivering architectural projects across the UK and Australia. Her portfolio spans a wide range of sectors including commercial, leisure, education, retail and residential, with expertise across both traditional and Design & Construct procurement models.

Claire has built a strong reputation for leading complex projects through to completion, balancing design quality with practical outcomes. Known for her strategic thinking and clear communication, she works at the intersection of design intent, compliance, buildability and commercial requirements to deliver successful project outcomes.

With deep technical expertise and a holistic approach to architecture, Claire combines design vision with rigour, drawing on extensive knowledge of construction, compliance and documentation to anticipate challenges and mitigate risk.

Claire mentors emerging architects and contributes to the industry as an examiner for the NSW Architects Registration Board.
