Durbach Block is a Sydney-based architecture practice led by Neil Durbach and Camilla Block whose work includes residential, commercial, and public projects.

Neil Durbach, who was born in South Africa, came to Australia in 1983. In 1988 he worked with the architect Harry Levine, creating a new wing at Tusculum, Potts Point, the N.S.W. home of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA). Camilla Block was born in South Africa, moving to Australia aged 12. She was taught by Durbach in the final year of her studies at the University of Sydney.

Award winning projects by the practice include Apartment Foster Street in Surry Hills, Sydney (1997); Commonwealth Place, Canberra, ACT (2002); House Holman in Dover Heights, Sydney (2004); Sussan/Sportsgirl Headquarters in Cremorne, Victoria (2008); and The Garden House in Sydney (2010).

In 2011, they changed their name to Durbach Block Jaggers, joined by long-term employee David Jaggers
