CO-architecture and ArchiTeam have announced a new partnership to create greater visibility, business support and professional development opportunities for small practice architects across Australia.

The partnership connects ArchiTeam’s national network of sole practitioners and small practice architects with CO-architecture’s growing community. As part of the partnership, CO-architecture will come on board as an ArchiTeam 2026 Awards Partner and 2027 Conference Partner.

CO-architecture is a leading Australian platform connecting homeowners with architects and design professionals. Alongside its marketplace, CO-architecture runs editorial, community and education programs designed to help practices raise their profile, connect with clients and grow their business.

Through the partnership, ArchiTeam members will have a pathway to join CO-architecture and access opportunities to increase their visibility, connect with homeowners and strengthen the commercial side of their practice.

As a 2026 Awards Partner, CO-architecture will help celebrate and showcase the exceptional work being undertaken by small practice architects across the country. As a 2027 Conference Partner, CO-architecture will support valuable professional development and networking opportunities for ArchiTeam members and the broader architecture community.

ArchiTeam members will also have the opportunity to take part in CO-architecture’s Studio Accelerator program. The program provides practical guidance on business development, marketing, client acquisition and practice growth, helping architects build sustainable and resilient practices alongside their design expertise.

“This partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting architects in small practice. ArchiTeam has spent years advocating for and supporting sole practitioners and small studios, and we see the same value in that work every day on our platform. Together, we can help put their work in front of more homeowners, provide practical business support through the Studio Accelerator, and celebrate their contribution through the Awards and Conference. Small practices produce some of the best residential work in the country, and they deserve that kind of backing,” said Kevin Mitchem, CEO of CO-architecture.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring small practice architects have the visibility, networks and tools they need to thrive.
