being at home.

I am an experienced architect and urban designer.  I work collaboratively with clients, specialising in the adaptation and development of homes, and other larger scale project types.  Central to my practice is the assessment of client requirements and derivation of proportionate, well-related concepts.  Beautiful results issue from understanding the essence of space, the emotional response to form, material, gardens and light, and the unification of these components to produce inviting and uplifting environments.  The ambience and detail of each design reflects clients’ practical needs, their cultural and aesthetic interest, as well as the nature and situation of each scheme.  I work from the inside out to revalue overlooked aspects, and enhance the atmosphere, comfort, and beauty of places made anew.

I can advise on the suitability of property prior to purchase. I support clients in their selection of layout, materials, systems and furniture, balancing competing demands and minimising cost. I designed the kitchens, cabinetry, lighting and glass tables displayed below. To realise successful outcomes I work with a number of talented architects, landscape architects, engineers and other advisors including cabinet makers, project managers, and constructors. Notes on how we can work together, project visioning, and process appear under “About”, and example projects appear under “Work”, linked above.
