Mark Watson Joinery
A recent site visit to Mark Watson’s joinery factory in Leichhardt was an enjoyable experience.
Big Fish

An Architectural Future
The ritual Saturday morning house hunt was what first intrigued me into a career in architecture.
NIssen Hut
Since I can remember, I have admired this little rural “Nissen” shed just outside Jindabyne.
Emergent Finishes
As the base building is now complete at Vaucluse, the all important finishes begin to be layered over the raw structure.
Dr Karl’s House
Dr Karl’s views on the future are well known so energy efficiency and self sufficiency are a central. Incorporating photovoltaic and water collection technologies, the alterations and additons also aim do more conventional architectural things like making sense of the orientation and nature of the site.
Main Range Camp
Camping out at 2000m is an exhilaration but also focuses you keenly and what is required for survival and comfort.
Negozio Olivetti
While in Venice over July I visited the recently restored Negozio Olivetti, originally commissioned in 1957 by Adriano Olivetti as a showcase or “business card” for his typewriters and calculators.
