Peter Scott Email & Phone Number

Having practised in the UK and USA before establishing Xsquared Architects in Tasmania 17 years ago, I bring an international perspective to design and sustainability issues and have been an active advocate for sustainability in the built environment for more than two decades. My experience extends across highly energy efficient individual and group housing, through designs for sustainable and energy efficient commercial buildings, including offices, schools, housing and hotels, to a wide range of heritage projects. Highlights include the Ibis Styles Hotel which is Australia’s first and only 5 star Green Star certified hotel, the Hopkins Street Affordable Housing project which is Tasmania’s only 5 star Green Star certified multi-unit residential project, and our current work with the University of Tasmania with whom we are working to redevelop their Inveresk campus.I am the Immediate Past President of the Tasmanian Division of the Property Council of Australia, having been the President for two terms from 2019 - 2023, and having previously chaired the Urban Renewal Committee (2017 - 2020) and been a member of the Sustainability Committee (2008 - 2015). I am also a member of the Tasmanian Heritage Council, having joined that organisation in 2020 as a representative of the building development industry. Prior to this I chaired the Australian Institute of Architects' National Sustainability Committee (2008 - 2012), and its Tasmanian Chapter Sustainability Committee (2002 - 2009), and sat as an Institute Chapter Councillor for thirteen years (2002 - 2014). My contribution to sustainability in the built environment has been recognised with the award to Xsquared Architects of the Tasmanian Community Achievement Environment Award in 2014. I am also passionate about workplace culture and good governance and am proud that Xsquared Architects is recognised as one of a select group of Tasmanian Employers of Choice.

Listed skills include Sustainable Design, Architecture, Residential Design, Sustainability Consulting, and 15 others.
