Martin Grounds and Jack Kent have operated together as Grounds Kent Architects since 1989, when they won the honour of designing the prestigious Four Seasons Resort Hotel in Jimbaran, Bali.

That resort has gone on to win them international acclaim for excellence of design and contributed to rise of a global awareness of the importance of culture and place in the field of architecture.

Today, Grounds Kent Architects is a significant contributor in the Australian / Asian region to the sphere of world class architecture. Their history of projects now runs through Australia, Bali, Java, Thailand, Myanmar, Lombok, Malaysia and Taiwan.

The company possesses a breadth and depth of experience, together with cultural sensitivity and understanding of design principles for many different locations, that is second to none. To deal with the ever increasing requests for unique design solutions in architecture, Grounds Kent Architects operates fully staffed offices in Fremantle, Western Australia and Jimbaran, Bali.

Their operations have evolved to embrace cutting edge technology for international communications and accessibility, whilst holding true to the core of their original intent - to produce handcrafted individual architecture which is fully satisfying for the client and the end user, in a manner which enhances the built environment to the fullest.
