We are a creative design studio who look to the resilience and beauty of nature to point the way.

Our designs aspire to a regenerative future and a better way of life. Our understanding of natural processes and the traditional lore of indigenous culture allows our imaginations to flourish while creating design solutions that are well grounded in the physical and social sciences, and which always consider nature first.

We are a science and design-led organisation with solid and extensive engineering capabilities that underpin a collaborative and collective design and documentation practice. What we deliver is a truly unified product, robust and fully integrated and which upholds the age-old knowledge and customs of indigenous practice.

Our many years in the construction and development industry mean that our processes are efficient and effective and are fully responsive to the ebb and flow of time constraints and the commercial realities of our clients.

Despite our extensive and broad experience, we don’t rest on our laurels. No project we undertake is the same as the last. Every single project is a chance to improve the status quo of design and to rise to the challenge of creating a better future for people, communities, and the environment.

Most people sit inside their comfort zone, at CJ Arms we get to sit outside it.

CJ Arms.

Thinking differently to give you an extraordinary outcome.

At CJ Arms we continually look to nature and natural processes to guide the way by asking ourselves “What would nature do?” Our Scientists and Researchers work side by side with our creative Urban Designers, Landscape Architects, and Engineers to offer unique, multi-faceted design solutions that are nature-led and which encompass indigenous wisdom and tradition.
