Individual houses, shaped by your land and your life.

I design houses that are a pleasure to live in, and that respond to how the light moves across the land, where the breeze comes from, and how the people who will live there like to spend an ordinary day. Neither the land nor the people are ever the same twice, so each house is an exploration of something new, a leap into the unknown.

The result is often a subtle, quiet architecture, rich in texture and detail, made to be noticed slowly. The surprises come gradually, in light that arrives where you did not expect it and in materials that transform gracefully with the hours and the years.

I trained as a carpenter and cabinet maker before following my love of architecture. A great design balances all the aspirations and constraints that bear on a project, and each project evolves through drawing and conversation, shaped by the owners and by the land.

The houses here look very different from one another. A classic timber Queenslander stands in dialogue with a metal cube. A house in New Farm draws on the patterns that run through the art of its owners. A family home in Paddington takes its spirit from the 1960s. Each reflects the spirit and identity of the people who live in it.

If you have land, a home or studio to build, or a dream or project waiting to take shape, I would like to hear about it.
