Genton

Genton transforms bold ideas into impactful, enduring places. Since its inception, the practice has been dedicated to architectural innovation, creating spaces that prioritise the human experience and are designed for longevity. Founded in 2010 by Steven Toia, with studios in Melbourne and Sydney, the practice has steadily grown, earning recognition for its contributions to architecture, urban design, and sustainability.

Genton’s most prominent project to date, the Powerhouse Parramatta, was won through an international design competition in 2019 and is one of the world’s most significant new museum projects. When it opens later this year, it will become Australia’s largest cultural endeavour since the Sydney Opera House. Prior to this Genton won the design competition for Frankston railway station run by the Office of the Victorian Government Architect. This was followed by a series of commissions for award-winning transport infrastructure projects, including Reservoir Station, which received the Prix Versailles World Finale Award in 2021. Across its diverse portfolio, Genton brings design rigour and refinement to projects ranging from complex technical facilities and transport infrastructure to major urban precincts and cultural destinations.
