WHAT WE DO

With a deep understanding of how colour, space and form interact, Lymesmith works with architects, designers and private clients to realise the colour potential within their projects. From innovative material palettes, to painted installations for large-scale public infrastructure, Lymesmith’s work can be enjoyed in parks, universities, restaurants, homes, city laneways, on public transport, at the pool and even in the public toilets at Australia’s most iconic beach.  

Lymesmith employs colour to enhance connection to place; to amplify or camouflage built form; to signify cultural and historical connections; to reinforce way-finding strategies; to create new identities and regenerate places in transition.

This specialisation and approach to colour in the built environment has resulted in ongoing relationships with Sydney’s leading architecture and design firms, and to multiple awards.

LYMESMITH?

The name Lymesmith was coined to describe one who works with lime, and whose practice makes essential connections across the disciplines of architecture, painting and urban design. Lime is a ubiquitous substance. It is a key ingredient in mortar, cement, plaster and paint, forming an essential link between built form and ‘decoration’.
