FAVOURITE RDA PROJECT
ALBA Residences – Under construction at the time of writing, it is rewarding to see the client’s vision of this development coming to life. I enjoyed working on the design of these facades, the challenge was to create forms that helped to break the long rows of townhouses while also creating beautiful and interesting facades that felt like individual homes.
388 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley – Once an old pub/nightclub, this project, now transformed into office spaces, has had lots of interesting challenges as we had to deal with a very old existing building that had multiple layers of renovations within its bones. It has been rewarding seeing the spaces come to life in their new uses.
Vellure, Bulimba – The design of this project was focused on the facade presentation to the street. It was challenging to achieve the varied setback and height requirements while creating an aesthetically pleasing outcome and delivering for the client.
