Matt Elkan is a director of Incidental Architecture, a small practice based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, primarily working on domestic and community projects in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Japan.
It is the core belief of the practice that the design of buildings is always incidental to bigger social and environmental outcomes that any built structure should serve.
In the case of the recent work for Nungalinya College in Darwin, a long-standing relationship has resulted in the development of student accommodation buildings which aim to provide a sense of both physical and emotional welcome to indigenous adult students coming from a large range of very diverse communities across the Top End and Central Australia.
