Fender Katsalidis
Fender Katsalidis (FKA) is an architecture firm in Melbourne, Australia. Headed by principals Karl Fender and Nonda Katsalidis, the firm has been extremely successful since the early 1990's producing many landmark buildings in Melbourne and other Australian cities and also in South East Asia.
FKA buildings are distinctive, often very masculine and sculptural, they also feature a variety of materials and textures such as exposed steel, left to the weather, or rough hewn timber. An early FKA project involved the conversion of former grain silos in Richmond, a Melbourne suburb, into distictive apartments featuring balconies resembling a ship's bow. FKA also designed Eureka Tower currently under construction in Southbank, which will become Melbourne's tallest building and one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.
