Lyons is an Australian architecture firm based in Melbourne. Established in 1996 by brothers Corbett Lyon and Carey Lyon, they were soon joined by third brother Cameron, Neil Appleton and Adrian Stanic, and are all now directors.[1] Lyons is known for large commercial and institutional buildings such as the RMIT Swanston Academic Building, Melbourne, the Australian Institute of Architects (Victoria), 41 Exhibition St, Melbourne, the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra, the Central Institute of TAFE in Perth, the Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, the School of Medicine and Menzies Research Institute in Hobart and the School of Medicine and Research in Sydney.[2]
The Lyons brothers are third generation Melbourne architects, grandsons of concrete pioneer and hotel designer Leslie M Perrott Snr, whose firm later became Perrott Lyon Mathieson. Their father was Ron Lyon, a director of the Perrott firm in the 1960s–90s, who married architectural delineator Marietta Perrott, daughter of Leslie M Perrott Snr. Les Perrott Jnr also worked in the firm, becoming director in the 1960s–80s, and their uncle Eric Lyons was also an architect.[3]
