Edward Salib

Director

Edward Salib is a Director at Studio.SC. With extensive experience across Australia and internationally, he has led the design and delivery of projects that shape the civic, cultural, and urban fabric of our cities.

His portfolio spans a diverse range of work, from courthouse precincts and transport infrastructure to public memorials, mixed-use residential, and city-shaping masterplans. Known for his clarity of thought and collaborative leadership, Edward plays a key role in translating complex briefs into meaningful, enduring architecture.

He holds a strong belief that the best architecture contributes far beyond its site boundary, it creates identity, fosters connection, and becomes part of a long-term civic story. This is reflected in his recent work, where he led the design and delivery of the New Entrance at the Australian War Memorial, working closely with stakeholders to navigate its technical, cultural, and ceremonial complexity.

Edward is a considered and confident leader, trusted for his ability to guide teams through complex project stages while maintaining clarity of vision. He fosters a culture of openness and rigour, encouraging emerging designers to find their voice while ensuring project outcomes remain grounded, responsive, and aligned with client goals.

He understands that delivering lasting architecture means navigating a broad spectrum of inputs, from planning authorities, the public interface to stakeholder consultation and construction realities. His strength lies in harmonising those voices into architecture that is not only resolved, but resonant.

“I believe architecture should leave something behind, not just a building, but a sense of place and purpose that grows with the community it serves.”
