Dr Peter Tonkin has a strong design and urban design reputation, and a wide range of experience from simple to complex buildings and site planning. Award winning projects have included the Eternity Playhouse, the National Arboretum Canberra, Adelaide Riverbank Bridge, the redevelopment of the Hyde Park Barracks Museum, the Australian War Memorial, London, and significant projects at Homebush Bay for the 2000 Olympics. Peter is currently working on the redevelopment of Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, the Bondi Pavilion and the Parramatta Square public domain.
Peter has maintained an independent practice since 1981 and in 1987 he joined Brian Zulaikha to form Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects.

Brian is a founding partner of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer and prior to it’s establishment in 1987, his experience ranged from the Singapore Superior Courts Complex to the design and documentation of a number of high rise office buildings. Brian ran the design management of the highly successful Bicentennial refurbishment of the whole of Circular Quay in Sydney, including retail strategy, and liaison with all stakeholders, Government Authorities and unions.
Since forming TZG, successful projects, such
as the Carriageworks at Eveleigh and the Scots Church Apartments are representative of Brian’s commitment to quality outcomes.
Brian maintains a special interest in the integration of art and architecture and he is committed to the production of architecture that is of its time and fuses a sensitive contemporary approach with functional and pragmatic requirements, for example, the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence and the Black Theatre Site in Redfern.
Brian’s own house completed in early 2007 won the RAIA National Award for Residential Architecture (Houses).
