Academic career[edit]

Reinmuth graduated in 1991 with first-class honours in Bachelor of Environmental Design from the University of Tasmania and a Bachelor Architecture from the University of Sydney in 1996 as well as Masters in Architecture from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2007. He has been the Adjunct Professor of Architecture,[5] at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) since 2005 Reinmuth, is the founder of the International Studio at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark, where he is also a Visiting Professor.

Professional associations include appointment as a Life Fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects in 2018; a Registered Architect in the State of New South Wales since 2000 and a Register Architect in Denmark since 2009.

Career[edit]

Reinmuth's first role was at Forward Viney Architects[6] in Hobart from 1991 to 1995. One of the partners, Michael Viney, subsequently became a major influence and subject of his thesis at the University of Sydney in 1996. At Forward Viney Architects his colleagues included Nicholas Murcutt, Gaetano Palmese and Craig Rosevear. In 1995, Reinmuth commenced work at Denton Corker Marshall’s Sydney office, later to become JPW, where he worked predominantly for Richard Johnson on projects including the Asian Gallery at the AGNSW, 363 George Street and the Western Courtyard at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. From 1998 to 1999 he worked as a project architect for Stirling Tolbooth[7] at Richard Murphy Architects in Edinburgh.

TERROIR[edit]

In 1999 he co-founded the architectural practise TERROIR[8] with Richard Blythe and Scott Balmforth. A strong relationship between these three individuals fuelled an ambition to develop a practice underpinned by a culture of creativity, driven by an ambition for design excellence and which approaches project work as an opportunity for original design research. The practice is a micro-international practice which remains mid-sized at 35 staff.
