Youssofzay + Hart is an architectural and interior design practice run by directors Belqis Youssofzay and David Hart based in Sydney, Australia.
Established in 2017, the practice is committed to built excellence through design services, research and creative collaborations with a focus on cultural, civic and public architecture.
For the last 5 years, they have worked with some of Australia’s most renowned arts institutions to deliver exhibitions, gallery interiors and site-specific architectural interventions in close collaboration with curators, artists and other gallery stakeholders.
Adjacent to their cultural work the practice pursues commercial and residential projects with density, sustainability and resource use at the forefront of their design agenda. Their core practice philosophies are to create equitable, accessible and enjoyable spaces for all and to do so in a manner that is sustainable and radical.
Their work has been recognised in both national and international awards with their cultural project No Show at Carriageworks awarded the NSW Australian Institute Small Project Award in 2022.
