Bistro Felix Small Bar and Restaurant
An existing tired high priced fish and chip restaurant developed into a Bistro and small bar restaurant circa 2006. Previous clients aspiring to run a restaurant business with great desire and aplomp. Working with as little as possible to celebrate the theatre of good wine and food visually and acoustically. Brave and dedicated client who wished this premise to evolve over a period of time to create its own myth. There was a need to develop an understanding of local patrons to challenge and encourage them to participate and devour what was brought to them. Many aspirations along the way, the journey continues.

Adolph Residence
A new roof over an existing enclosed courtyard in coastal suburb City Beach. Inspiration was from Alvar Aalto's Maison Le Carre in the country side outside of Paris. A pavilion/verandah was created to rear with the left over skillion roof which allowed for the play of light from the east and west filtering into the space betwixt.

Lost Highway House
The house sits on a half acre lot. The facade faces 120 degrees of horizon and means space. The front is an address and means less. It places meaning and gives meaning to placement. Back to front, the subject is continually in discussion consciously or unconsciously with climate, with space. It is a living habitable apparatus where light reflects (day) and refracts (night) through controlled and uncontrolled apertures. The plan and section are in direct relation to structural form but the sensual experience of space unfolds from the inside, out. The roof plane is dominate and extends when required and doesn’t when not. There are no doors to an internal corridor. It does not have a family room. Or a sewing room. Or a games room. Or a TV room but does allow exploration of independent and collective living. It is transparently private. Its memory to the origins of architecture is of the modern house that asserts the content to the contexture.
