Today

Architecture, design, drafting and master planning for clients across Australia, within the Red Invest Capital Holdings group.

Radian Architecture has grown from humble beginnings. What started as a project planning support company expanded into project management, design and engineering under RASP Australia as demand and capability grew, and by 2019 the architectural division had become a studio in its own right.

Today we provide architecture, design, landscape, urban and master planning services to clients across Australia, delivering projects across the retail, commercial, government, health, education, defence, infrastructure and community sectors. As part of Red Invest Capital Holdings we are backed by complementary businesses in engineering, construction and workforce, which lets us offer integrated services and draw on a broad range of specialist expertise.

For more than a decade we have built a reputation for practical, but innovative outcomes. We tailor our approach to every client and align with state and territory standards, legislation and project-specific requirements. As a 100% Indigenous owned business we are committed to empowering local communities, fostering economic growth and creating places that deliver lasting value for the people who use them.

What we stand for

Commitments,
held on every project.

Community-led design

Listening first, designing together.

We work alongside communities, Traditional Custodians and stakeholders to create places that reflect local aspirations, strengthen identity and deliver lasting social value.

Design excellence

Practical, innovative and future-focused.

Creative thinking combined with technical expertise, producing architecture that is functional, resilient, sustainable and responsive to the needs of people and place.

Lasting impact

Stronger communities through design.

From housing and education to healthcare, defence and infrastructure, we create environments that support wellbeing, connection and long-term community outcomes.

ADAPT Program

Pathways for the next generation.

Through ADAPT (Attract, Develop, Advance, Partner, Thrive) we support Indigenous talent, build industry capability and create meaningful opportunities within architecture, design and construction.

The Red Invest group

One of six companies, one integrated capability.

Red Invest Capital Holdings is a 100% Indigenous owned investment group founded by Richard Tester. Its six companies work together on integrated projects across Australia, so Radian can bring the right specialists to the table, or hand over a fully integrated team.
