| Welcome! |
| We enjoy making innovative projects happen. Mostly they are smallish things like houses, galleries, restaurants and bars. Sometimes furniture. We prefer to design as much as we can both inside and outside a building, from landscape to the objects and light fittings within. |
| Our approach |
| Each project begins quietly and optimistically. Armed with a set of questions and certain lines of enquiry (as opposed to a pre-packaged 'style' or set of solutions) we set off like detectives in a foreign landscape, gently agitating the context to see what emerges, looking for what is latent or already there, what is unique or particular. We try to unlock the possibilities of project and place through a negotiation of already present possibilities. It is a strategy adapted from Jørn Utzon and from the work of some of our teachers like Michael Tawa and Richard Leplastrier. |
| We don't ascribe to a particular style. What we have is a clear and consistent approach or methodology as well as a set of concerns we hold dear. Ecological in our outlook, rational in our pursuit, poetic in our ambition we hope these concerns are clear through every decision at every scale in every project. |
| The images to the right will take you to a selection of projects in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney ranging from housing to commercial buildings, interiors and architectural competitions. |
