10 Year Anniversary

Recently, two of our senior staff members, Director Justin Cucchiarelli and Associate Aaron Schintler reached a key milestone in their careers — 10 years at S9!

The two joined S9 in 2011. Justin, an Architect at the time came with international experience having worked in other Adelaide practices and overseas in London. He became an Associate Director and then Director in 2016, taking Studio Nine into our next phase of leadership. Justin has worked across a breadth of sectors on a number of Studio Nine's most high-profile projects including The Lights Community and Sports Centre and the award-winning Mill Film Adelaide Studio.

Aaron an Architectural Technician with experience in commercial development and on the builder's side of construction management and estimation became an Associate in 2017. As our studio BIM Manager, Aaron is an integral part of the team. He is heavily involved with documentation standards, including digital construction and coordination workflows and the go-to for all technical questions. He has worked on some of S9's most complex and large scale projects with extensive experience in hospitality design, including the Electra House and Marion Hotel Redevelopments.

To celebrate and mark the important occasion we had a quick chat to the two, asking them what S9 was like 10 years ago, what they thought of each other and any special projects along the way.
