Since graduating from the University of Tasmania,I have been working at
Troppo Architects (QLD) under the guidance of architect, Geoff Clark. In
this office I am currently working as a project architect. My role in the
office is as one of the more senior staff, however due to the size of the
office this is often not all that dissimilar to some of the more junior
employees, with the exception of site visits and client meetings. The
office is very young with all of Geoff’s employee’s under the age of 25.
Working in this office has given me the opportunity to see projects
from initial client meetings right through to construction. I have gained
experience in dealing with clients, consultants and builders and am
looking forward to what the future may hold.
Projects
I have worked on a wide and varied selection of projects. ESD is
integral in our designs which tend to be elegant, but nuts and bolts in
their nature. These projects range in scale from deck extensions, right
through to large multi-practice competitions for billion dollar
commercial, residential and government projects. The majority of my time
in Townsville has been spent working on residential projects such as new
homes, beach houses and renovations and additions to Queenslanders. .
Competitions
We have been involved in a number of architectural competitions during
my time at Troppo, winning the Thuringowa Climatic Design Competition and
gaining a commendation in a recent Regional Architecture award. One
project that I worked on for Inside Out Architects when I first started
working in the office also recently won a commendation in the R.A.I.A.’s
North Queensland Regional Architecture Awards.
