The Bachelor of Design and Master of Architecture at the University of Melbourne has taught me to think critically and creatively in my approach to architecture, as well as developing my sensibility to design as more than merely an aesthetic endeavour.

PORTFOLIO (SELECTED WORKS)

1. Radical Suburbs

Site Y Imagery
Box Hill
2025

This project prioritises ‘the everyday’ routine of domestic actions as an atlas of anatomy deciphering the occupation and situating of two rooms or ‘two equal parts.’ It questions the commonly filled and empty spaces or concerted transparencies found in relation to the suburban house - and street, positing it as a compulsion of contemporary society and a form of domination. It reconsiders the symbolism of the rug, the wall, the window, the table - as what is fixed and loose marks, links, prescribes gestures and establishes segments for use and value.

2. Radical Suburbs

Site Y Occupied-Situated Plan
Box Hill
2025

There is the architects plan, then there is the occupants situating. The home here is a dynamic assemblage. All possibilities of everyday matter can be found in the permutations of extended stuff and the remnants of residual habits - like the two rooms they can keep extending into the universe. The simple gesture of a wall on an angle has a certain resistance.

3. Studio E Cenobio Endgame

Imagery
Castlemaine
2025

The occupant is a ceramicist and this modest shelter emerges from a negotiation between her repetitive and ritualistic art-form of creative production with a certain form of rational asceticism. The interior here is reduced to the primary surface required - a platform. Positioned at the front and mediated by the block wall as a directory threshold marking the entrance door to the right.

4. Studio E Cenobio Endgame

Axonometric
Lerderderg
2025

An ode to uprooted or nomadic life, like an externalised version of Hannes Meyer’s co-op interior. Space begins as mere marks on a blank sheet, two walls hold up a bed. The fire pit doubles as kiln and heater. Scarcity of amenities reflect this way of life, a folded chair signifies that it could and may be taken somewhere else.

5. Studio E Cenobio Endgame

Plan
Lerderderg
2025

Building and making is done with deliberation by what is found on the site. With an ethos of camping, the thermal mass is relative to the occupants orientation of living. The parallel block wall dissolves the other spatial partitions relying on the trees and great out there.

6. Studio E

Collage
Castlemaine
2025

The human body always as index, both in its anthropological vicissitudes of posture - as the vertical standpoint and horizontal figure. Each act formed in the design is objective and made up of symbols.

7. Studio E

Collage
Lerderderg
2025

Architecture to connect people together with resonance, feeling, bodily memory and community.

8. Studio Epsilon

Axonometric
Suburbanism to nomadism
2021

This undergraduate project is neither inside or outside, rather the bounds become temporary and the solid disintegrates. This model forms part of a three stage movement from suburbanism to nomadism and its impetus was to disrupt the normative cyclical or stagnated routines of suburbanites and instead move down specific corridors that transgress the domestic.
