History
Orwell & Peter Phillips is an architectural practice founded by Orwell Phillips in 1948. The practice designed a number of industrial buildings for Marrickville Holdings, offices for the United Insurance Company and hotels for Tooth and Company. His son Peter Phillips joined the practice in 1982. Orwell Phillips was a founding member of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) and the Historic Buildings Committee of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter). He helped to compile the first Register of 20th Century Buildings of Significance in the 1960s, and was a co-author of the RAIA publication “Infill: Placing New Buildings Amongst Old” (1981). He was Honorary Architect to the historic Great Synagogue, Sydney, from 1947, and was the Senior Partner of Orwell & Peter Phillips until his death in 1997.
