“Eva-Marie Prineas has brilliant nuance in mixing old and new, and knows how to introduce luxury, delight and generosity while working to a budget. But mostly, her work is timeless while being pertinent and incredibly authentic – she is who she is, she is who you get, and the scale of her firm means she invests in every detail produced by it.”

Genevieve Lilley, Houses Magazine Issue 112

Eva-Marie Prineas founded Studio Prineas in 2004. Her background and passion for heritage conservation and environmentally low impact design forms the basis of the Studio Prineas philosophy of understanding and adapting places that are already special. Studio Prineas is 100% female owned and operated and Eva-Marie Prineas is the sole shareholder.

Eva-Marie’s award-winning approach to design stems from an intuitive understanding of what to keep and what to cleverly adapt in her projects. She prides herself on her studio’s collaborative skills and personally invests in client relationships to ensure each project is a combined effort with a shared vision.

Eva-Marie was a co-founder of DARCH – the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) group for emerging architects, and regularly contributes as guest critic at the University of Sydney, the University of NSW and UTS Architecture Faculties. She is also an examiner for the architects’ registration exam at the NSW Board of Architects. In 2007 and again in 2020, Eva-Marie was elected onto the NSW Chapter Council for the Australian Institute of Architects and has continued to contribute to numerous juries including the AIA Awards.
