History
In 1955, William (Bill) Douglas commenced private practice in Brisbane as William L. Douglas Architect, then in 1957 partnered with Barry Barnes to establish Douglas and Barnes, operating in South East Queensland. Barnes managed projects on the Gold Coast, while Douglas focused on Brisbane. In 1968 the partnership evolved into Douglas, Barnes and Associates until its dissolution in 1972, when the practice returned to Bill Douglas's sole ownership, operating as William L Douglas and Associates. In 1978, Peter Daly and Ray Bottger joined Bill Douglas as directors, and by 1979, the firm was renamed Douglas, Daly and Bottger Architects (DDB Architects). In 1998, DDB Architects merged with Woodhead International, resulting in the formation of Woodhead International DDB, with Douglas and Bottger continuing as principles. Douglas retired in 2003 and the firm continued to operate under the name Woodhead International.
