Elliet Spring | Director
MGS Architects

“Listening is at the core of my approach – I thrive on forming blended teams with my clients and collaborating across disciplines within the office. Every project should reflect the distinctive culture and identity of a client and place and feel like it belongs.”
An experienced architect and urban designer, Elliet seeks to create projects that are cohesive elements within their urban environment, while being sensitive to the day-to-day requirements of the people who use them. She brings over twenty year’s global academic and professional experience to her projects, having worked in Australia, the USA and Norway on a broad range of educational, cultural and civic buildings and master plans. 
Since joining MGS Architects in 2014, Elliet has contributed to projects across urban design and architecture. A clear communicator and accomplished designer, Elliet has led MGS Architects’ responses to Xavier College’s Master Plan and new 7&8 Building, UNSW’s Masterplan Framework, Trinity College’s Development Framework and Swinburne’s TC Building redevelopment.
Elliet holds a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in New York, where she received an Honour Award for Design, and a Bachelor of Architecture (Honours) from Melbourne University, where she received the Bates Smart Graduate Prize.
