Besley & Spresser is a studio of architects based in Sydney, Australia. The practice delivers concept-driven projects in both public and private contexts. 

Besley & Spresser’s approach centres around crafting compelling architecture informed by research, with a particular interest in the exploration of materials. The practice has won a number of high profile design competitions including a new permanent pavilion on Sydney Harbour made of recycled oyster shells, a National Memorial in Canberra made of cast glass, and an international ideas competition for visitor facilities to the historic ruins of Hegra.

In parallel with practice, directors Peter Besley and Jessica Spresser have taught in the Masters program at leading schools of architecture including the Bartlett in London UK, the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland.

Besley & Spresser acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and waters of Australia.
