This page showcases a few of the projects that I have worked on.
Some have been built, and some have only made it to sketch design stage.
They have all been good projects to work on, and I have learnt something from every single one of them!
A live link with my Facebook posts is also below, showcasing projects I have worked on, as well other articles of interest.

With a growing business, space can be an issue, especially if you outgrow your current premises.![]()
Which is exactly how I came on board to help my client convert a house into an office complex with staff and client meeting room areas, as well as a new entertaining/alfresco area for events.![]()
![]()
The aim was to be as cost effective as possible with minimal works to the existing structure.![]()
So most of the internal works were relatively minor, with the odd lintel needing to be added.![]()
Building onto the rear lean-to was a challenge however as the pitch of the roof and the roof structure dictated some additional works to rectify/replace some existing structure and remove a low (1.95m) bulkhead across the rear wall.![]()
![]()
Some new signage out the front, and adjustments for traffic flow to the rear carpark rounded out the works.
A completed build!!![]()

What an amazing new living space.![]()
going from a small, dark kitchen/dining with separate living room, to this large, light filled extension is a dream come true for the owners of this house.![]()

High raked ceiling with high level windows allow light in all year round, making this a light and bright space, even on the more dreary days.
Trakai Island Castle, is exactly as the name suggests, a Castle on an Island in lake Galve, in Trakai, Lithuania.![]()
It was built in 3 phases. First in the second half of the 14th century by the order of Grand Duke Kestutis, and the second phase was completed around 1409.![]()
The third phase, in the 15th century, thickened the walls to around 2.5m, and added defensive towers, along with various other elements.![]()
The castle sat at a place of great strategic importance and was one of the main centres of the Grand duchy of Lithuania.![]()
It was constructed of stone and red ‘gothic’ bricks in a style that was part gothic and part Romanesque.![]()
The structure of Trakai Island Castle appears to be simple and modestly decorated, thus portraying the consolidation of the 15th century defence (fortification) ideas. It was considered a masterpiece of medieval defensive architecture, and it was the only castle built on water in Eastern Europe. ![]()
The castle fell into ruin in the 17th century and was not touched until the early 20th century. Work was halted due to World War II, however. In 1946 reconstruction began and works were completed in the early 1960’s, and is now a major tourist attraction for the region.
So this project is coming along nicely.![]()

It was an odd shaped block with an ambitious client brief: ![]()

First floor cladding of James Hardie Matrix in Colorbond Woodland Grey and Axon in Dulux Vivid White.![]()

Hopefully it will be done in the next few months, with a fair bit of internal fit out to happen, along with some feature detailing of the staircase.![]()

Here are a couple of renders, and then the real-life images.![]()
Looking good!!
