Russell Yelland

Designing for
community

Our architecture anticipates need and invigorates culture, transforming the spaces where we learn, are cared for and connect.

Specialising in education, health, aged care and civic projects for more than 80 years, Russell & Yelland realises facilities that bring out the best in South Australian communities.

An empathic approach to design
is what sets us apart.

Discovery

We uncover the brief behind the brief. Our designs are forged in detailed questioning, active listening and prudent analysis.

Collaboration

Our best ideas are often borne of collective thinking, working closely with community and with the specialist consultants we trust.

Visualisation

Communities must experience a design vision for themselves. We deploy the latest visualisation tools at no additional cost to the client.
