COX is one of few truly national built environment design practices in Australia. Most of our competitors are franchises working under a name rather than a single national group. This characteristic of our practice may seem unimportant, however it enables our work and research to be freely interactive and interdisciplinary without concerns over ownership of knowledge and expertise. It means that whether nationally or internationally we can apply our highest skills to the particular project in hand we can share work through our technologies and we can cohesively critique our designs and review our directions.
