Argall is super proud to be part of the design team alongside Sibling Architecture which has brought to life the Darebin Intercultural Centre for the people of the City of Darebin.

The project involves a $2.0M+ refurbishment of the Preston Town Hall to break away from the internal colonialistic architecture to create a new, welcoming, and open environment for people of all kinds of backgrounds and cultures.

The project was a challenging one working with the unpredictability of elements of the original 1929 structure along with modifications that were made during the 1970s, with large portions of the existing structure being demolished and opened up as part of the proposed works. However, the process was extremely rewarding and we are super happy with the end result and the positive effect that it will have on the community.

ANDREW GALL, Director

Argall was founded in 2017 by Andrew Gall, an engineer with a passion for complex design and breaking the mould. His work experience as a senior structural engineer across a variety of project disciplines made him realise there was a real need for a bespoke people and service-oriented structural engineering consultancy that would inspire sustainability practices and innovation often lacking in big companies.

This is over and above his experience in traditional procurement roles, his work with builders in the design and construct field, managing projects in sport, tertiary education, the arts and zoological fields, as well as community, commercial, residential and multi- residential enterprises. With such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of different design methodologies, he has the expertise to challenge the status quo in his new venture.
