Team

People Oriented Design Pty Ltd is a thriving Australian architecture and landscape architecture company that builds upon the success of a business partnership originally co-founded by Belinda Allwood in 2014. With a great diversity and scale of projects completed throughout northern Australia since 2014, the business transitioned to a company structure in 2024 to better support our business growth. Our team includes a landscape architect, interior designer,  three architects with registration in Queensland, Western Australia and Northern Territory, architectural technicians, and an office manager. We have a great appreciation and passion for the landscape, climate and people of northern Australia.  (Team photos- Blueclick)
