ARCHITECTURE and design firm BVN has appointed three new partners.
Co-CEO Neil Logan announced that Ali Bounds, Sally Campbell and Peter Titmuss will join the 14 existing principals of BVN as equal partners and co-owners.
Bounds is an architect and the project director for BVN’s team in the development of NSW’s first vertical high school, Arthur Phillip High School and Paramatta Public School as well as numerous other projects with learning at their core including MLC School – Senior Learning Centre, STEM School a STEM Science based school for 2,000 students and the new MAAS Parramatta Powerhouse Competition.
“I am inspired by BVN’s culture of innovation and the importance that BVN places on people. I feel very lucky to join the leading members of the BVN family,” she said.
Campbell has won workplace of the year award for the last three years for resetting the way we work in the 21st Century. She is an interior designer and has delivered new coworking and flexible leasing workplace ecosystems with clients GPT, Dexus, Smales, and Hoist.
“BVN is a company continually challenging the status quo, pushing boundaries and expanding design possibilities. These are exciting times and I‘m very grateful to be a part of them.” Campbell said.
Titmuss has led many of BVN’s award-winning works including The Australian PlantBank with the Botanic Gardens Trust, Charles Sturt University – National Life Sciences HUB, Wagga Wagga and The University of South Australia Cancer Research Institute.
“There is a renewed commitment within BVN to deepen our design thinking across everything we do, which as a new principal is an exciting challenge,” Titmuss said.
The appointment of Bounds and Campbell also represents yet another step in BVN’s commitment to gender parity at leadership level, making five female partners and co-owners.
Co-CEO and architect Ninotschka Titchkosky said, “It always surprises me when issues such as gender parity are said to be difficult to achieve.
“Most architectural practices are privately owned companies that have the power to change in their hands, the difference is we hold it in our hearts also,” she added.
