Design Studios

The above is an image of my Melbourne studio at one of our project sites for a tower redevelopment. I have been fortunate to collaborated with great architects and designers from across five continents since graduating in 1995. In recent years I have much enjoyed running my studios in Italy at UNESCO Professorial Chair in Mantua, Italy and Melbourne, Australia where I live.
