Established in 2013 by architect Jesse Bennett and interior designer Anne-Marie Campagnolo, Jesse Bennett Studio takes pride in being a small practice offering a focused and personalised process to their clients. They have won several awards for their work, including the Australian Institute of Architects’ prestigious Robin Boyd Award in 2015. Their work has been featured in Architectural Review (UK), Architectural Digest, Houses, The Australian, The Design Files, Yellowtrace and Vogue Brazil.

ANNE-MARIE CAMPAGNOLO

Anne-Marie’s practice comprises a range of qualifications and experience in interior design, business management and the arts. Her distinctive approach to design takes cues from her Italian heritage and range of interests including vintage fashion, punk music and philosophy. Anne-Marie’s remote upbringing also contributes to her perspective as a designer, bringing to the role a unique sense of problem-solving and understanding of space, stillness and mood. With specific expertise in colour and material selection, Anne-Marie’s interiors are spirited, directional and always in conversation with their inhabitants.

JESSE BENNETT

With 20 years’ experience in architecture, design and building procurement, Jesse’s perspective is informed by his education in Italy and Australia, as well as a wide range of interests outside the bounds of architecture.

Central to Jesse’s practice is a deep respect for the elements. His experience living and building all around Australia has led to a unique understanding of climate and a sensitivity to landscape and site. A skilled practitioner of passive design principles, his work harmonises nature and the built form. With extensive experience working onsite, Jesse brings a deep firsthand knowledge of building practice to every project: he also understands the importance of assembling great teams to collaborate on efficient and striking construction details. Multidisciplinary in his approach, Jesse explores new concepts by integrating traditional and artistic methods, working primarily with clay, charcoal, lino and pencil.

In 2015, Jesse became the youngest architect to be awarded the Australian Institute of Architects’ Robin Boyd Award, the highest honour for residential design in Australia.
