A small practice with a love for creating the places people live, inspired by travel, memories, landscape, materials and location. Our goal is to create functional and simple spaces that delight and surprise.
Projects have a strong relationship to the client’s brief and develop though discussion, experimentation, and collaboration with other professionals and craftspeople. This becomes part of the design and building process, from start to completion.
The practice was established in 2017 after working with architect mentor James Russell in the preceding seven years. In 2015, John was chosen to participate in the annual Dulux Study Tour, a program that inspires and fosters Australia’s next generation of early-career architects.
Educated at the Queensland College of Art, gaining a bachelor of design in 2001, John went on to complete a master of architecture at the University of Queensland.
Before working in the architectural field, John gained extensive design experience in graphic design, wayfinding and product communication, working with a number of multi-disciplinary design companies in Australia and the UK.
John is an occasional contributor to Architecture Media publications and the State Library of Queensland’s Design Online website.
