An appreciation for nature is what drives me - it’s impacted how I live, and how I design architecture.
Years of adventures seeking isolated surf breaks and remote mountain ranges, along with living off-grid and creating a permaculture homestead in nature for our family, have taught me how to read and understand the natural opportunities of a site better than most.
Being able to combine this ability with over a decade's experience in bespoke residential architecture design, and degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture, is a rare blend of first-hand experience, design skill, and environmental insight that I bring to every project.
Qualifications
M.Arch (Prof) | BAS (Land) | GDipDE | LBP D2
I only take on a limited number of projects each year - to make sure each one gets the focus, time and creativity it deserves.
If you’re interested in working together, and would like to reserve a spot on my schedule, get in touch via the contact page - I'd love to hear about your project.
