Dominic Finlay-Jones is an architect and founding director of DFJ Architects, based in Byron Bay. He studied architecture at the University of Sydney before spending eight years training under pioneering modernist architect Bruce Rickard. Rickard’s legacy of human-scale architecture and sensitive site planning, orientation and landscape integration continues to underpin Dominic’s practice.
After relocating to the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Dominic established DFJ Architects in 2010, growing the studio into one of the region’s leading architectural practices.
Dominic’s work is deeply site-specific, with equal dedication to the natural and built environments. His portfolio includes the adaptive reuse of Lismore City Hall and Lismore Regional Gallery, food and education tourism projects such as Summerland and The Farm, mixed-use creative hub Habitat, and a wide range of residential projects across the region.
