About

 After graduating from Deakin University with an Honours degree in Architecture in 1998, I went on to gain invaluable design experience with architectural firm Crosier Scott & Associates for 7 years. Establishing my practice in 2005 as an ARBV registered Architect, I now specialise in projects based in Melbourne's Bayside area, Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas. 

Always keen to collaborate, I also consult as a Project Architect to Melbourne Architect, Peter Wright & Associates. During my 8 years of consulting, I have worked across a variety of renovation and new build designs, interiors and exteriors.

Contemporary residential design has become so much more than simply creating a home. The solution needs to involve creating spaces that fulfill the needs of the whole family and ensure the longevity and ability to change over time.  With the events of the last two years still impacting how we live, accommodating working and studying from home, all under one roof, it has never been more important to design homes that accommodate for all. 

As a family with three teenage children, we have moved from the young child stage through to the almost, adult stage. My own experience of family dynamics along with the design-savvy I have collected over the past 20 years have helped me understand how to create a harmonious home, inside and out. 

Living by the bay, we take every opportunity to enjoy the water. Bay swimming (all year round) has become my off time obsession. Daily dog walks along the beach are standard fair. Summer holidays are spent surfing on the Bellarine Peninsula and beach side at Byron Bay. 

Having first-hand knowledge of the environmental impact of bay and coastal living, I always consider when designing, the location, wind direction, sun exposure, topography of the land, and proximity to water. These factors all effect the design direction and construction materials used on-site.

My full design & documentation services include working closely with you, the client from the initial planning stage through to town planning, building permits, tendering to builders and construction.  

Whether you are looking to renovate or build a new home, I'd love to discuss your project and how I can help you achieve the very best outcome.
