Who We Are - TINTO

Our Values are a reflection of the individual values of our team — creating a cohesion and alignment with the TINTO business as if it were a person, and we always look to work with clients who have similar values.

Creativity

We approach each project with a fresh perspective, recognising its unique purpose and who it serves. Our responsibility is to deliver innovative ideas and solutions that challenges the norm and create something that didn't exist before.

Clarity

While creativity can naturally be a more expansive process, we bring order and clarity by defining costs, timelines, and deliverability. This ensures brilliant ideas are transformed into actionable plans and successful projects.

Certainty

By mastering our other 2 C’s from the start, we take responsibility for the process and your project. Challenges are a natural part of the process, and we know that, which is why we navigate these challenges with effective communication and problem-solving to bring you an outstanding result.

MOTIVATED BY OUR 'WHY'

In co-creating the future with great customers and building unique experiences for them — we've never lost sight of what first inspired us, and what ultimately led us to work together at TINTO.

Each of us has different backgrounds, career paths to date and particular interests, but we're united by the work we do for every client and our shared vision:

'Transforming your world through place and space'.

Rich Tinto Managing Director: 20 years of learning and innovating in design and construction with many more to go!
Alistair McGill Consultant
Scott Smith Senior Architectural Technologist
Leyton Still Associate Senior Architectural Technician - BSc(Hons) Architectural Technology: After leaving Tinto to undertake a role which saw me co-ordinating other people's work rather than hands on drafting, I came to realise how much job satisfaction I got from actually making changes to drawings, figuring out what works and what doesn't, seeing existing buildings go through a transformation and seeing new buildings being created.

The team at Tinto are forward thinking and keen to take on a challenge to suit clients’ needs and requests. When I was approached to rejoin the team, I was given the opportunity to return to doing the job I love.
Alyx Stickle Architectural Technologist - BSc(Hons) Architectural Technology: I've been with the team for a little over a year now, and I love every bit of it! I'm all about making our designs not only look amazing but also work perfectly in real life, and have a particular interest in showing our designs using 3D modelling.

I’ve been fascinated by architecture since I was in school. The blend of creativity and practicality always drew me in, and it’s been my dream to turn that passion into a career. I’m excited to keep bringing my childhood interest to life in every project I work on here at TINTO.
Horacio Bacarreza Part II Architectural Assistant - MArch BSc (Hons): My interest in architecture seems to have been heavily influenced by my nomadic childhood. Having lived in 9 countries as an expat, I have had the privilege of admiring architecture in many different forms. In my opinion, a city’s character and atmosphere is largely due to the built environment that forms habitable spaces, the success of those spaces is translated into a welcoming and functional cityscape.

My itinerant lifestyle acted as a catalyst in forming my architectural interest, which left me with an everlasting curiosity - what makes a successful city?

Tinto has welcomed me with open arms fresh out of Architecture School, my position as an Architectural Assistant sees me working on a variety of exciting projects. I get a great deal of fulfilment creating 3D models and presenting visualisations to clients, this allows them to see their project with real life parameters and encourages further collaboration.
Lizzi Nutt Interior Design Consultant: A designer is something I was always going to be. Sitting at the kitchen table, dreaming up houses, and sketching layouts is one of my early memories, I was about 10 years old and I was obsessed.

After university and working at my first practice I realised the importance of good design. For me it is about the people who occupy spaces, how they use it how it, how it effects them and how it makes them feel.

As a designer I have the opportunity and privilege to create places that make people happy.
Maria Oleksiak Business Administrator: Business admin by accident, I ‘grew up’ in hospitality, but the back-of-house was always calling. After graduating in Business & Management back home I said, “never again in the paper world!” … and here I am, enjoying every aspect of it

Years in hospitality and office work shaped my path, and today at TINTO I look after HR, finance and all the communication, keeping everything running smoothly and finally putting all my knowledge into place I’m happy to work in
