Architects Ring & Associates

Architects Ring & Associates is a Kingston based architecture and interior design practice, founded in 1991 by its director Terence Ring, who has practised in Canberra since 1975 and taught architecture and interior design at the Canberra Institute of Technology. The firm began in a home studio in Griffith through one of Australia's worst recessions and grew into one of the capital's most established, now working from a multi-storey building it designed on Wentworth Avenue. ARAA designs across the luxury residential, commercial, multi-unit and heritage sectors, and gives back through Indigenous and community housing, places of worship and an annual schools mentoring program. Its work has won more than one hundred awards, including the ACT House of the Year twelve times and the MBA National House of the Year three times, and Terry holds the AIA President's Award and the ACT Chapter Medallion for Architecture. The practice designs around the idea of 'genius loci', a sense of place, and many of its homes are still owned by the clients who first commissioned them decades ago.
