MICHELLE CRAMER JOINS GHD Urban designer and architect Michelle Cramer has been announced as GHD’s Future Communities Lead, which will see her play a major role in creating connected, resilient, productive and inspired communities.

Cramer holds a passion for designing people-centric cities, particularly for children. She will draw on her deep urbanisation, placemaking and precinct delivery expertise in her ongoing work as a specialist advisor to UNICEF’s Child-Friendly Cities Initiative. Future Communities Global Leader, Jill Hannaford, says Michelle’s appointment adds significant strength to GHD’s capacity to help clients with community creation.

NEW PARTNERS APPOINTED AT O’NEILL ARCHITECTURE O’Neill Architecture hopes the recent appointment of two new Partners will boost its reputation as a practice that places people and relationships at the centre of its approach. The boutique practice has overseen the design and construction of a number of successful and acclaimed projects, notably The Eminence, located in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Spanning across a range of industries, O’Neill endeavours to build relationships with its clients and cementing itself as a trusted partner who offers clients’ a full project management and development strategy service. While the building is the atypical assignment, Senior Partner Justin O’Neill (left) says the practice’s approach focuses on people. Joined by Meaghan Morice (centre) and Andrew Kimmins (right) who have been promoted internally to the role of Partner, O’Neill will now be assisted in the direction the practice takes. Morice says both her and Kimmins will endeavour to take a humanistic approach to the practice’s future direction.
