Hall Russell Architects

Russell Hall was born in 1947 and spent his formative years on a dairy farm at Harrisville in the Fassifern Valley. He studied architecture at the University of Queensland and the Queensland Institute of Technology from 1965 to 1974 and for much of the early part of his career, worked in the offices of James Birrell in Brisbane and Port Moresby.

Russell's experience in tropical design was cemented by a number of years with the Papua New Guinea Housing Commission, during which he conceived and produced designs for pre-fabricated standard houses which could be easily and cheaply erected by landowners.

Since his return from Papua New Guinea, Russell has practised architecture on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, designing houses, townhouses and commercial premises.
