Shaun is the principal architect and founder of Carter Williamson.

He came to architecture with an engineering background and a drive to create daring designs that enhance people’s lives. His intimate understanding of how buildings come together, how they function and breathe, underpins his approach, which involves rigorously testing and modelling ideas to leave the indelible maker’s mark.

Not only a multi-disciplinary practitioner, Shaun is also an advocate and educator who has tutored at most Sydney architecture faculties. An active member of the profession, Shaun is a former President of the Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter) and a regularly invited guest speaker and awards juror.

Shaun used his early career scholarships to not only visit monuments along architecture's ‘Grand Tour’, but to witness firsthand disaster sites across Asia and America that would inform his design for an emergency housing solution (GRID) - a prefabricated, relocatable dwelling that can be installed in less than a day.
