Nick Searle and Suzannah Waldron first met each other in their first year of undergraduate study in Sydney's UTS before moving to Melbourne to complete their degree.
[citation needed] Since graduating in 2001 from Deakin University, Searle has gained a wide variety of experience working for several Architectural firms internationally.
The firms include Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, UK and Erick van Egeraat Architects, Netherlands and BVN Architecture, Australia where he was involved in design, documentation and contract administration for a broad range of projects.
The firms include Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Rotterdam and dRMM (de Rijke Marsh Morgan Architects), London where she was involved in the design works of projects ranging from civic buildings to commercial and retail.
By incorporating these three ideas in one flexible space Searle X Waldron have designed a building which has multiple uses and has become a focal point for public addresses in the City of Ballarat.
