 
Founded in 2016 in Sydney by Jennifer McMaster, Casey Bryant and Jonathon Donnelly, Trias focuses on residential projects in Australia and the UK. The studio’s name relates to Vitruvius’ three principles of good architecture: firmness, commodity and delight. ‘We’ve translated these into “solid, simple and beautiful”, and this is what we pursue,’ McMaster says. Ongoing projects include a cabin in Wales and studios in Sydney.
