Lyons is a Melbourne-based Australian architecture firm established in 1996 by brothers Corbett Lyon and Carey Lyon. Shortly after its inception, the practice expanded to include their third brother Cameron, as well as Neil Appleton and Adrian Stanic, who are presently directors. The firm focuses on extensive commercial and institutional developments, notable examples being the RMIT Swanston Academic Building, the headquarters of the Australian Institute of Architects (Victoria), the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra, Central Institute of TAFE in Perth, the Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, alongside medical research centers located in Hobart and Sydney.
The Lyons siblings belong to the third generation of a distinguished Melbourne architectural lineage, tracing back to concrete innovator and hotel architect Leslie M Perrott Snr, whose practice ultimately became Perrott Lyon Mathieson. Their father, Ron Lyon—who served as a director at Perrott from the 1960s through the 1990s—is married to Marietta Perrott, daughter of Leslie M Perrott Snr. Contributions from Les Perrott Jnr and their uncle Eric Lyons have also played an important role in sustaining the family’s architectural heritage.
