Practice

Since 1981, Macksey Rush has remained dedicated to enhancing the quality of life through exceptional
design. With a focus on educational, residential and public architecture, our portfolio boasts numerous award-winning projects spanning various sectors.

As a proud female-owned business, we bring a unique perspective shaped by collaboration, inclusivity, and a deep care for the people and communities we design for. At the heart of our success, we believe great design comes from truly listening, understanding our clients’ needs, valuing diverse perspectives, and creating spaces that are innovative, meaningful, and built to the highest standards of quality. These principles define our approach as a medium, purpose-driven practice.

We employ a collaborative design approach, drawing on the expertise of Directors Sarah Rush and Jacquie Maestracci, in addition to our founding director, Bernard Rush, and a team of talented and dedicated professionals. Together, we create architectural solutions that are not only beautiful and functional but also sustainable, contextually responsive, and deeply attuned to the unique needs of each client, site, and brief—ensuring spaces that inspire, endure, and enrich the communities they serve.
