Eva-Marie Prineas
Principal, Studio Prineas

Eva-Marie Prineas founded her Architecture and Interiors Practice, Studio Prineas in 2004. Her background and passion for heritage conservation and sustainable design forms the basis of the Studio Prineas philosophy of understanding and adapting places that are already special. Eva-Marie’s award-winning approach to design stems from an intuitive understanding of what to keep and what to cleverly adapt in her projects. She prides herself on her studio’s collaborative skills and personally invests in client relationships to ensure each project is a combined effort with a shared vision. 

Eva-Marie was a co-founder of DARCH – the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) group for emerging architects, and has tutored and contributed as a guest critic at the University of Sydney, the University of NSW and UTS Architecture Faculties. She is also an examiner for the architects’ registration exam at the NSW Board of Architects. In 2007 and again in 2020, Eva-Marie was elected onto the NSW Chapter Council for the Australian Institute of Architects, is a Life Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects and continues to contribute to numerous National and International Awards juries. 

Nicholas Potts
Director, Lyric Architects

Nic started Lyric Architects about 4 years ago with a primary goal of providing clarity and care within a project and creating buildings that work practically, focusing equally on the seen and un seen parts of architecture. Architecture that is simple, real and joyful. Our practice is built around the people and places we design for and work with.
