Process
Initiation
Projects on this website are examples from my own practice and prior with other firms. This experience, formed over almost 25 years of architectural practice, allows me to approach your project with an open mind and absorb your vision, however developed or fleeting it may be. I begin by understanding your aims and then tailoring a service to suit.
Investigation
No stone is left unturned as I become one with your site and/or your existing building/s. Exploration is intensive during this phase so that initial ideas have the best opportunity to meld with conditions and respond to the identity of site, client and project type.
Ideation
This is where the art and science of architecture meet, conceptualising design ideas both in hand-sketch and CAD format, so you can quickly see design ideas emerge 3-dimensionally, helping to visualise form and spatial relationships, light, shade and levels.
Documentation
Once the design schematics are set and required approvals are sought, the design is developed through to construction documentation, finalising materials, engineering and cost planning with associated consultancies.
Delivery
The most exciting phase of all, where your project comes to life! I work closely with the selected builder to ensure we all move together toward realisation of the vision, with a pragmatic eye on the many challenges and opportunities that present during construction.
For all clients great and small
First, though...let me tell you a bit about myself.
Hailing from a small town filled with heritage architecture, I've always had a passion for creating buildings that are not only visually stunning but also highly functional and long lasting.
I began architectural practice in 2001 toward the end of my university studies. Over my career I've been able to seamlessly blend my technical skills with an artistic eye to bring designs to life.
In my circle I'm known for my unique ideas and personal service, combined with an attention to detail that has led to me managing numerous successful projects, locally, interstate and overseas.
Whether I'm sketching out initial concepts, cadding up a new project, or on site crafting with contractors my dedication and creativity is what you can rely on.
With a knack for turning ideas into reality, I'd love to be involved with your upcoming project.
I'd love to discuss your next idea
