Who am I …
A humble journeyman architect with no pretensions to greatness. Just a gift for doing what any good architect should—that is, to leave this world in a better state than when they came in to it.
Home
Is on the point of Banora Point, and embodies all the things I grew up with as a kid. Plus it’s on a river and overlooking the ocean.
Significant others
Long-suffering wife, Kim. Two active teenage sons. One lazy cat. Visiting wildlife, which torments the cat.
Why I do what I do
It is what I always wanted to do.
When I decided to be an architect …
As a skinny kid growing up in an old “Queenslander” house in inner suburban Brisbane, complete with mango trees.
If I wasn’t an architect, I’d be …
Drawing stuff.
What else I do …
Assist with whatever sporting/academic/music/boating activities my sons are involved in.
I did that!?
Gave my family the opportunity to grow up in the best part of the best country.
I wish I’d designed …
Sydney Team
Six or eight friends for dinner on weekends enjoying Naomi’s great cooking.
My gangs
The parents of other kids involved in my sons’ sporting/academic/music/boating activities.
My heroes
My parents, for giving me and my brothers the best opportunities they could afford.
