Senior Architect
I love architecture's transformative ability to enhance peoples' lives, reflect values and improve our environments.
Dr Charmaine ‘Ilaiū Talei is the Cultural Engagement Lead and a Senior Architect at GB-A and brings over 15 years’ experience and significant design nous across all phases of design.

Greener
Better
Charmaine’s work contributes to the wider discussions of cultural and environmental sustainability, vernacular architecture in a globalised context, and Indigenous modernity within Pacific architecture.
When Charmaine isn’t working she enjoys nature and the ocean, walking, travelling, spending time with family and friends.
