Career Reinmuth's first role was at Forward Viney Architects in Hobart from 1991 to 1995. One of the partners, Michael Viney, subsequently became a major influence and subject of his thesis at the University of Sydney in 1996. At Forward Viney Architects his colleagues included Nicholas Murcutt, Gaetano Palmese and Craig Rosevear. In 1995, Reinmuth commenced work at Denton Corker Marshall’s Sydney office, later to become JPW, where he worked predominantly for Richard Johnson on projects including the Asian Gallery at the AGNSW, 363 George Street and the Western Courtyard at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. From 1998 to 1999 he worked as a project architect for Stirling Tolbooth at Richard Murphy Architects in Edinburgh.

TERROIR In 1999 he co-founded the architectural practise TERROIR with Richard Blythe and Scott Balmforth. A strong relationship between these three individuals fuelled an ambition to develop a practice underpinned by a culture of creativity, driven by an ambition for design excellence and which approaches project work as an opportunity for original design research. The practice is a micro-international practice which remains mid-sized at 35 staff.
