TERROIR is a collective of architects and urbanists dedicated to producing work that increases the connection between people and the places they inhabit.
With offices in Australia and Denmark, TERROIR engages in the world from opposite corners of it, bringing breadth and depth of experience and multiple perspectives on the fragility of our world and the need to care for it. TERROIR is a statement about the honour of being invited by others to work in their territory and the importance of seriously assessing if one can make a contribution before accepting. It is a responsibility to be working in different places, and to do so cannot be considered an inevitable right bestowed by a globalised economy. We demand of ourselves and our clients that every commission creates a lasting social, economic and environmental impact specific to that place and which transcends the project itself.
Our Australian projects are situated on Aboriginal land, or Country – a constellation of territories that were never ceded. The kinship systems connected to Country are complex and overlapping and so do not always overlap neatly with specific project locations. We therefore acknowledge collectively the Bunnerong, Dharug, D’harawal, Eora, Gai-maragal, Gundungara, kriwalayti, nipaluna, pataway, trumanyapayna, turikina truwala and Wann nation groups and kinship systems on whose Country we have worked. Their continuing custodianship of the land and generous leadership is a critical part of our future.
