our story

i’m a registered architect based in sydney, with over 15 years of experience, specialising in residential design.

i’ve worked on homes across a wide range of settings, from tight suburban sites to expansive coastal locations. what that’s taught me is that no two sites, or clients, are ever the same, and that’s exactly what keeps the work interesting.

before returning to sydney, i spent 4 years in london working on large-scale residential and commercial projects (i.e. tottenham hotspur stadium). it was a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where coordination, precision, and clear communication were essential. that experience continues to shape how i approach projects today: organised, direct, and always mindful of the bigger picture.

for the next 4 years, my passion for the outdoors has led me to live and work in canmore, in the canadian rockies. being surrounded by that landscape everyday shifted my perspective and made the relationship between architecture and its environment impossible to ignore. it’s also where i learned to slow down and really pay attention to what a place is already doing well. working on residential projects there, reinforced a simple idea that has stayed with me: good architecture doesn’t impose on a site, it responds to it.

i’m drawn to raw, honest materials, used in a way that feels natural and timeless. through a careful balance between architecture and landscape, my aim is to create homes that feel calm, enduring, and genuinely lived in.
