St Kilda Apartments forms the northern gateway to the Riverwalk residential and commercial Precinct adjacent to Robina Town Centre.

It comprises 50 apartments in two wings over 5 & 7 levels with basement parking.

The church was bursting at the seams and needed to more than double its capacity to 1,000 people.

The project was a site-wide planning exercise which included major extensions to the main church auditorium, church hall, cafeteria, admin, a major car park and op shop.

The church courtyard formed by the surrounding buildings is covered by a major sail structure which allows services to be held outside whilst maintaining a strong link to the altar & main church worship space inside.

The architecture of Bond University builds on precedent yet synthesises a unique image and place.

Monumentality, as a notion of timelessness celebrating enduring and metaphysical qualities, is pursued in a plan structure that appears rational and timeless.

Daryl Jackson was the Master Planner for the university and the architect for most of the principal buildings.

I was the project architect on one of these and saw the project through from inception at Master Planning stage in Melbourne through to completion of the project on site in Queensland over a two year period.

Other architects involved in the project at the time included Robin Gibson & Arata Isozaki.

The Harbour & Harbourfront front Residences are at the heart of a 200 hectare master planned community in the northern Gold Coast region.

I was project architect for the harbour area master planning as well as the residential buildings facing it.

“Zero-lot” planning of the residences maximised land use efficiency whilst maximising solar access into each house.
