Howlett and Bailey Architects

Howlett and Bailey Architects was founded in 1960 by young architects Jeffrey Howlett AM and Donald Bailey AM, based in Perth, Western Australia. They received numerous design awards and commendations from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and won the design competition for the Reserve Bank of Australia Building in Canberra in 1962. Their designs combined Modern style and Classical rationale, which resulted in ordered and axial aspects. Howlett and Baileys Architects’s major projects included the Public Suite, kiosk and manager's house (now demolished) at Beatty Park Pool, and the two Perth landmarks — Council House (1962) and Perth Concert Hall (1973).
