Isabelle Orr

Architect
MCK Architects

I am a registered architect from Sydney, dedicated to creating sustainable, efficient, and client-specific designs that bring joy. Inspired by Sydney’s rich architectural heritage and generous public spaces, I believe in the power of collaboration to achieve the best architectural outcomes. During my studies, I had the opportunity to spend time abroad in Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and Austria, which shaped my approach to design.

I graduated from UNSW with a Master of Architecture (Excellence) and First Class Honours. My thesis, which explored the influence of Gothic architecture on Jørn Utzon’s design of the Sydney Opera House, earned me the J M Freeland Prize for significant research in History and Conservation. In 2024, I was honored to be named one of Australian Design Review’s 30UNDER30 Architects.
