I hope to be able to use my skills developed thus far in both the health and architectural industries in a way that can positively contribute towards our urban environments.

I want to surround myself with a group of inspiring individuals who I can share and develop skills with to help provide a hope for the future.

I have a passion to see architecture be used to serve people and their communities, across all walks of life.

ALTERNATE REALITY - INNOVATIONS FOR SUBURBIA

As cities continue to grow and become more urbanised, land becomes more

scarce and more valuable.

This leaves a decreasing proportion of the population that is able to realise

their ideal oversized dream home.

Maybe, in order to introduce a change to the system, there is a greater need to re

imagine an alternative ideal suburbia.

What if a new proposal that addresses some of the issues that plague our

suburbs, is strategically situated in order to attract people of influence in

our societies. With the hope that these individuals can then use their position

in society to influence the perception of what an ideal home could be.

proposition / ALTERNATE REALITY

With the aim of decreasing the footprint of an average suburban home, the architecture evolved around 3 typologies aimed at 3 different types of families.

In order to make a suburban block more efficient, and to rethink the idea of a suburb, it was necessary to break down the typical figure ground relationships,

redefine spaces and reconsider what spaces could be private versus public or an alternative - rikyu grey.

CONGWONG BAY BATHS - THE BALANCE

How can we continue to grow and advance as a people, while continuing to

exist in a finite environment?

As resources continue to be depleted, there needs to be an increased

awareness, to preserve the environment for future generations to appreciate.

In order to do so, maybe there needs to be a balance and consideration of

building in a way that respectfully engages with the environment while at the same time, addresses the needs of

people and carefully utilising the limited resources that are available.

proposition / THE BALANCE

eastern sectional elevation

How can an architecture lightly inhabit the environment that it sits in, while at the same time serve to contribute to the experience of being there?

Utilising locally sourced timber, the architecture emerged from the complex structural requirements, to support a cantilevered platform, while using minimum supports in order to protect

the environment as much as possible. The result was a dynamic structural system that would contribute to a person’s journey through the site.

university work /THE BALCONIES - TERRACES AT BONDI

It is a paradox that, as the world becomes increasingly technologically

connected, we are becoming disconnected, socially isolated, leading

more introverted lifestyles.

How can an architecture address these issues, and promote an alternative way of living? What if, instead of balconies

being used merely as a platform to engage with the view, be used as a

means to engage with the community? Instead of all balconies facing the same direction, what if they were

arranged in such a way, that encouraged social interaction with the immediate

community, rather than a virtual community?

proposition / THE BALCONIES

The architecture revolved around this concept of redefining of what a balcony is, resulting in multi layered spaces, spaces that were neither public or private, with the hope of creating an architecture that could serve the community for the better.

24 DONCASTER AVE

The aim was simply to provide a better environment for this family to grow into.

The existing conditions resulted in spaces that were poorly lit and poorly connected

to the outdoor environment, which were negatively impacting on the family.

Is it possible that architecture can have positive and negative impacts on health

and well being?

With this in mind, it was essential that the proposition be centered around bringing

light into their new home, while utilising the existing dwelling and working within

the given framework.

proposition / 24 DONCASTER

plan

The angled geometry evolved out of this necessity to provide as much light as possible by orientating the glazings towards to the north eastern sun.

By carefully manipulating the framings of the openings, the hope was to provide an architecture that not only maximised the amount of light, but also connected the internal to the external environment.

With a cooperative client, this became my first solo project to carry to completion.
