Matt Gibson’s creative process aims to build a story in which the client is hero in their own narrative.
WHEN YOU ARE CONTACTED via Instagram to design a house in Norway’s Arctic Circle you understand the power of social media. “We jump at the challenge of designing something different from what we’re used to or designing in a different country,” says Melbourne-based architect Matt Gibson. From rural beginnings he moved to London after university in the late 90s where a role with prestigious interiors firm David Collins Studio pitched him into high-end fashion retail and hospitality design. “It was bespoke, highly refined work for Bond Street brands such as Armani and restaurants for Marco Pierre White. I learnt a lot about the craft, rigour and discipline of interior design, as opposed to concentrating on just a building’s shell.”
