Born in 1972 in country Victoria and after graduating in Architecture from Deakin University in 1997 Matt Gibson worked within various architectural and interior design offices both in Melbourne & London before setting up his own practice in 2003. Gibson worked in Australia in offices such as John Castles and Architectus before travelling internationally and spending an extended time in London where he worked with design luminaries such as David Collins and in association with Claudio Silvestrin on high end retail & hospitality projects.

Gibson has had an intimate experience of various project types including large scale Institutional, Commercial and Transport Architecture & Master Planning through to smaller scale furniture and boutique Retail design.

His creative use of materials, bespoke design and ability to showcase light (natural or artificial) are seen as standout attributes. Gibson has received a number of awards privately as a student and graduate and also within Practice - most notably Australia’s Best Emerging Practice Award in 2005.
