Episode 11 of our Adelaide Connected podcast, powered by the Committee for Adelaide will be released on 5 August 2026 and features Andrew Lopez, Principal at Hames Sharley.
Originally from Columbia, Andres, an accomplished Architect and Urban Designer, originally moved to Adelaide in 2001 before relocating to Perth and Melbourne for serval years.
In early 2026, he made the decision to return to Adelaide with his young family and is now the Principal at Hames Sharley, a leading Australian design firm delivering multi-award-winning projects in architecture, interior design, urban design, planning and landscape design.
We look forward to chatting to Andres about his life and career to date, what led him to Adelaide, not once but twice, and what he loves about his new home town.

The Adelaide Connected Podcast is powered by the Committee for Adelaide, where hosts Naomi Marsh and Ali Chatburn speak with Boomerangs* and Arrows* from various industries who are now based in Adelaide, South Australia. We hear about their time abroad and delve into key topics about their move to Adelaide, how important networking is, how we attract key talent, and how our state fares on a global scale.
Adelaide Connected is proudly delivered by the Committee for Adelaide, with the support of a grant from the Department of State Development’s, ‘Skilled Migration Talent and Industry Connection Program’.
*Arrow – someone that is not originally from South Australia, but now lives and works here.
*Boomerang – someone that is originally from South Australia, has lived interstate or abroad and returned.
