William Kerry Hill AO[1] (19 June 1943 – 26 August 2018) was a Singapore-based, Australian architect who specialised in hotel design in tropical Asia.

[4] Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, whom he had a personal friendship with, influenced his early works "by understanding and embracing the architectural traditions of the East".

[6] Between 1969 and 1971, Hill worked for the Perth-based Howlett & Bailey architecture practice, on projects including the building of the Perth Concert Hall.

His design for the resort, which was completed in 1994, has been said to counter contemporary approaches, having built rooms within the land's rainforest whilst ensuring minimal construction impact on the setting's environment.

Hill has been praised for his region-sensitive approach that accounts for a locale's site and climate, providing a modern interpretation over a traditional setting.

[9] His style has been widely described to exude the traditions and cultures in which his projects are set, incorporating and adapting local materials and construction practices into his designs.

[12] In a 2014 interview with Dezeen, Hill attributes his approach on the features of his designs to contextual sensitivities, ensuring that each project is uniquely drawn according to the needs of their settings.
