Rice Daubney

Rice Daubney was a Sydney based architectural practice with over 120 staff. It was established in 1976 by Kevin Rice and John Daubney, both formerly of Fombertaux Rice Hanly. The practice's head office was located at 110 Walker Street in North Sydney, a building that was designed by Rice Daubney in the late 1980s. In October 2013 the firm was acquired by HDR with the brand retired in June 2017.

The firm's work covered most sectors of the architectural design industry with a strong emphasis on the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and sustainable design practices in building. Rice Daubney pioneered the use of a new glazing system for multi-storey buildings and foresaw a shift away from high-rise office towers to lower-scale, more personalised buildings.^[1]
