Professional history:
I worked from 1993 to 1995 in Berlin as an architect, designing mostly inner city commercial / residential buildings. After returning to Australia in 1996 I started my own practice in Bellingen, northern NSW in 1996.
Design philosophy:
By focusing on orientation, cross ventilation, shading, thermal mass, integration of solar power and hot water, my design projects can truly be called: solar passive
I start my projects by really looking at the land and playing with the slopes. I don't like Û÷hitting' the land, I like to connect with it.
I have been able to craft a formula of sorts over the years that scales down what Australians usually want from a home to a European sense of what's actually required to deliver on it.
Û÷Luxurious modesty' sounds like a conflict in terms but that's what I provide. Good quality compact design.
The results:
Many interesting project and happy clients, mostly in the Bellingen Shire, but also as far away as Berlin.
