A boutique hotel was to be designed in an existing heritage building on Cockatoo Island. All external and as much internal fabric as possible was to be kept.

The concept Outre came from a photograph by Olive Cotton. For me it represented rebellion, individuality and fun.

OutrÈ then became weekend accommodation for risk takers, trend setters and rule breakers.

In a location that is a home to the arts, Outre will give guests the opportunity to create and live in their own masterpiece.

The furniture in both the communal and private areas is designed so it is stacked upon arrival inviting guests to beak it apart and arrange the pieces in the space however they please.

The hotel is a sensory experience. The spaces within it can either inspire or disturb. The noise of furniture being moved around can be uncomfortable but can also give an auditory trigger for freedom and movement.

A shipping container was to be used to accomadate students being temporarily housed in Hong Kong. The renovation needed to provide bedding, a kitchen, bathroom and ample study space. 

Being in a warm and humid environment it needed to be comfortable without the need of air conditioning.

Because the housing is for students in transit I wanted to design a space that would provide permanence from the impermanent so it was named 'Post'.

The space reflects stability and certainty by connecting and fixing. The quality of the interior encourages contemplation and a sense of belonging.

An apartment in Bondi was renovated for a Costume Designer and an Archeologist. The couple have strong interests in their community, photography and sustainable design. 

The apartment needed to provide ample entertaining space, two home offices and suitable space to showcase their collection of large photographs and art.

The combination of their professions and interests led to the concept of 'Exposed'.

Spatially this concept suggested that the design of the interior was to be open without jeopardising logical placement of plumbing and structural fabric and to have as much access to natural light as possible, 

Sustainably, it needed to control temperature through ventilation and optimal glazing, use limited harsh treatments and be designed so that minimal updating would be needed in the future.

With the clients' interest and involvement in the community they are active in promoting small scale local and international designers. By doing this they are exposing and encouraging growth in the design and artistic fields.

There is a quirkiness to this space. An organic and eccentric feel which gives the clients stories to reveal to their guests

The aim was to produce a work space suitable for a furniture and object updating factory and showroom named Hello Again.

The workshop needed to include ample working, designing and storage spaces for large pieces of furniture and objects.

A separate studio for a freelance/contract upholsterer, a showroom to showcase ready made pieces, two permanent office spaces with an additional that is free for part time contractors were also provided.

The concept used to arrange the space was ëALMANACí. An almanac is forecasted information arranged according to the calendar. This meant the space was a walk through time from start to a predicted end.

The initial space is the ëpassageí which continues the length of the workshop giving the viewer a look into each of the design processes from start to finish. A glimpse into time.

The design and decoration of each room corresponds with the stage of production (phase) that takes place in there. The loading dock is raw, the design space is more linear and so on.
