Lintel

Studio Director Emiliano Miranda emigrated to Australia from Mexico City. Landing in Sydney to further his study of Architecture, Emiliano worked to secure several academic scholarships in order to achieve his graduation from the University of New South Wales and allow his stay in the country. Emiliano gained experience with several leading design offices and assumed a teaching position at his alma mater university.

Emiliano founded Lintel Studio in 2021 with the goal of conceiving a generous practice able to contribute positively to Australia’s built environment, and to the industry’s constituents. Students, employees, clients, craftspeople, builders, and consultants are fundamental collaborators in the firm’s projects and people with whom Emiliano is keen to share his gaining momentum. Lintel is committed to celebrating cultural and linguistic diversity within their operation. The practice has set out not only to foster architectural brilliance, but a healthy and balanced work environment day to day.

Raf was awarded the Institute of Architects’ 2022 NSW Graduate Medal for his unique approach to architecture. He is interested in the repercussions of the past on built and social environments and has gained experience working on large, public developments, and with adaptive re-use on a smaller scale. In either case, Raf prioritises connection and foregrounds the potential of design to better acquaint people and places. His award-winning project took Sydney’s medium density housing as its point of departure and strategised around its betterment in policy and practice.
