About
Salvage Bureau is a Sydney-based architectural practice helping homeowners and asset holders unlock more value from existing homes and buildings. Our ambition is to help Sydney make more homes from what it already has.
Existing buildings often contain more value than is immediately obvious in their structure, materials, orientation, gardens, proportions, histories and patterns of use. Salvage Bureau helps identify what is worth keeping, then tests how it might be adapted, improved or added to in response to changing needs.
Through Pre-Purchase Advice, Feasibility Studies and selective Architectural Services, we help clients make clearer decisions about what to keep, change and/or remove.
Our work is grounded in architectural expertise and informed by built environment stewardship and circular economy principles. We believe better outcomes begin with understanding what opportunities exist before determining what comes next.
Please visit Case Studies for examples of our work.
The practice is led by Tiffany Liew GAICD FRAIA, a NSW registered architect with experience across residential, education and commercial projects. Tiffany is a National Council Director of the Australian Institute of Architects, a former National President of EmAGN, and a recipient of the 2023 national Dulux Study Tour Prize.
