ESTATE HOME CASE STUDY EXPLORATION Personal Project 2018/19 Project Type: Purpose: Location:
Personal Work Testing and Exploration Various
For this personal project, two separate floor plans were explored and tested under the hypothesis that developerdriven estate homes could be better designed. The intention for this project was to create a design that would respond both to the sub-tropical environments of south-east Queensland and to provide generous outdoor courtyard space for entertaining and growing families. The first of these designs was developed from an existing subdivision lot within a newly formed Pimpama development. The lot had a 15 square metre frontage allowing a slightly wider building form to be imagined. Three separate gabled pavilions linked by glazed circulations spaces were imagined. The first of these provides space for a mudroom and/or laundry and allows for easy access to and from the garage. The planning arrangement of the two primary pavillions (living and sleeping) embrace the internal courtyard but remain distinct from each other through the creation of a moment of in-between between the two. As with the following design, the building form engages with the street in accordance with CPTED principles while providing a distinct barrier between public and private land. This also provides the opportunity for accidental interactions to occur between neighbours as the residents engage with their front lawn space and formal entry. The second design’s point of departure was also an empty lot located within a newly developed suburb. This lot had a smaller street frontage of 12 square metres. For this design an open plan living space that extends outward to the courtyard space, was imagined, providing the residents with plenty of entertaining space. Planning for this residence was separated into two wings providing the bedrooms and baths with privacy away from the living areas of the house. The inclusion of a large home office was also incorporated allowing the potential for home-based work. However, this also has the potential to be converted to a guest wing or fourth bedroom for a larger family.

THE AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL CENTRE National Architecture Competition - First Place Award 2019 Project Type: Purpose: Location:
Competition Exhibition and Learning Central New South Wales
This proposed design for the Australian Agricultural Centre seeks to establish a deep connection both to the history and practices of agriculture and a fundamental connection to the immediate site and history in which it is situated, celebrating the sheep farming and shearing heritage. Strategic planning of view corridors and vistas has been carefully considered and controlled. This is evident from the moment a visitor embarks through the entry pavilion ‘sheds’ where the entry courtyard both opens to the main building but also to the vistas to the west. The architectural intervention, however, does not seek to dominate the landscape but rather integrate within the beauty of the Australian regional landscape. It will seek to connect visitors no only to the proud history of Australian Agriculture but also to the forefront of emerging knowledge. Furthermore, this intervention seeks to reconnect people back to the ideas of farming and agriculture. Phase one incorporates a series of pavilions that touch the ground lightly and connect the inhabitants to one of the courtyards and communal gardens as they journey through the education corridor of the building. Further to the educational journey through the building, phase two of the project delivers the adaptive reuse of the two existing sheds within the site creating an entry sequence into a node of activity and the entrance to the arena education building. Phase three further aids in the education of the visiting public through the guided walk along First Creek educating visitors and those of the farming community in the benefits of natural sequence farming. This boardwalk will feature signage dictating the research and benefits of slowing down water on-site to benefit the landscape and agricultural needs of the site. In this way, the building seeks to not only be a place of visitation and education for the general public but also be a leading example of innovative farming practices. This will be displayed through the incorporation of regenerative farming and natural sequence farming principles as pioneered by Charles Massy, Peter Andrews and others.

KINGAROY AGEING IN PLACE TOWN MASTERPLAN University Final Project 2019 Project Type: Purpose: Location:
Architectural Research By Design Masterplan, Aged Care, Makers Community Centre Regional Queensland
This proposed masterplan, community space and aged care centre for the rural Queensland township of Kingaroy seeks to present a more holistic and socially connected view of ageing in place to combat the challenges facing rural ageing. Traditionally within rural communities, aged care facilities are relegated to the outskirts of the community disconnecting residents from the social networks that have been fostered throughout their lives. This increases the risk of social isolation, depression and increasing the perception of no longer having independence. To further aggravate the situation studies have shown there is a loss of identity when transitioning from the land into retirement. In order to counter these challenges, the opportunity to design and test a masterplanned community project with a focus on ageing withing the community was investigated. The masterplanned intervention is situated within an unused brownfield site that has been left vacant by the Queensland Rail. This presented an interesting opportunity to also further develop the tourism capital of the township through the implementation of a dedicated ‘rail trail’ pathway along the townships railway corridor. Strategic planning of pathways and nodes have been carefully considered to provide both the impression of spaciousness and provide opportunities for accidental interactions with the wider community for greying residents. This has been furthered through the implementation of the community space/maker’s workshops where different community groups including the woodworkers and quilters clubs can meet in a central location, imparting formal and informal generational knowledge. Finally, in regards to the assisted care facility, multiple aims of the project were sought to be satisfied. The forms sought to increase wayfaring and legibility of residents who may begin suffering from the onset of dementia. This was delivered through the unique combinations of forms and materiality.

ICONOGRAPHY GOLD COAST MAIN BEACH MASTERPLAN University Project 2018 Project Type: Purpose: Location:
Architectural Design Masterplan Gold Coast, Queensland
This proposed masterplan for the Main Beach, Southport seeks to reinvigorate an ageing suburb of the Gold Coast region. The extensive site analysis that was undertaken prior to the design phase indicated the strong community spirit and connection to the waterways and the green spaces. This design sought to bolster this natural inclination while providing a greater connection to the adjacent mariner and Southport Yacht Club. The existing suburb context was used to ground the design and provide a legible grid upon which to work. Plazas within the site are visually accessible from each of the main suburb roadways and frame views to important architectural forms on the opposing river bank. This visual connection seeks to draw people from the suburb while improving wayfaring legibility within the site. Furthermore, the strategic development of the pathways provides differing experiences to the end-user depending on the speed in which they experience the site. Wider pedestrian expressways accommodate runners, skateboarders and cyclists with unhindered modes of travel. Contrasting this quick method of travel is the narrower pathways designed for a more leisurely walk where moments of hesitation and observation are accommodated. The architectural forms along the foreshore also consider the unique circumstances and significant environmental, scenic and recreational values of the site. Resilience planning was implemented to provide a strategic barrier to protect from flooding events and in the event of sea-level rise. Finally, the existing Southport Yacht Club building and outdoor entertaining area were developed further opening the building to the public. This was done through the extension of a waterside deck that facilitates live music, and outdoor dining for the general public and the patrons/members of the Yacht club. Views from this location look out over the existing mariner and mega-yacht docking.

PROJECT DELIVERY Phase one of the masterplan will see the implementation of the main parkland. This will involves social, leisure and active spaces in both programmed and unprogrammed settings. Phase two will extend the proposed parklands south to connect to both Paradise Waters Park and Macintosh Island Park. Furthermore, it will seek to activate this portion of land in accordance with CEPTED principals. The final intervention of the masterplan will be the upgrade of the current Sundale Pedestrian Bridge. This will be increased to allow views over the new parklands while providing flexible public spaces that can be tailored to a variety of activities.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: URBAN PLANNING AND THEORY FOR RURAL AGEING 2019
U R B A N T H E O R Y A N D P L A N N I N G F O R H E A LT H Y RURAL RETIRMENT OPTIONS
Ageing in Australia has become a highly discussed subject within research circles of late. Government bodies and multiple disciplines have presented various literature that have the potential to guide policy and decision making for years to come. Unfortunately, however, the planning of rural ageing communities are often overlooked within research that is devoted to urban theory and planning (as it relates to retirement options) and it is within this space that this paper seeks to contribute. Although ageing is a global problem (Davies 2011) that is currently being investigated and researched further investigation into how rural centres are equipped for an ageing population is of utmost importance. This is due to the larger percentage of seniors that inhabit rural centres than those in metropolitan areas. The problems facing these townships is further compounded by what Humphries et al (2002) state as a metropolitan mindset when it comes to rural areas.
25
They state that among other issues, there is a lack of commercial and cultural services within these towns. Furthermore, there is also a lack of comprehension by decision-makers on the strength of rural culture, how rural townships function, and what is needed or working within these places. Moreover, rural communities often suffer from several more indicators of disadvantage than those of urban centres (Ziersch, Baum et al. 2009). This paper investigated how a more holistic approach to architecture, urban planning and retirement options can aid in the subjective wellbeing of greying Australians through the theroies presented by Gordon Cullen and Kevin Lynch in each of their title works. This is especially pertinent within research as research (Winterton et al (2011) has determined that one of the ways the elderly gauge their subjective wellbeing is through their perception of their environment (both natural and built).
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: ADAPTIVE REUSE AND DELEUZIAN THEORY 2017
A DA P T I V E R E U S E A N D T H E A P P L I C AT I O N O F D E L U Z I A N T H E O R Y O N C U LT U R A L LY S I G N I F C A N T P L A C E S
Civic and industrial buildings are traditionally keystone elements within our society. They are the focus of government operations and authority as well as social hubs, place makers and identity forming structures They are the remnants of our utilitarian industrial history and important elements within the architecture of the 20th Century. They have the potential to endue society with a sense of pride and a place for connection. However, as populations have increase and cities have grown these buildings have outlived their original function forcing abandonment, demolition or alterations to be considered. This paper will explore the connection between adaptive reuse solutions within Civic and Industrial architecture and how the process of re-use is akin to the concepts and thoughts presented on Territorialization, Deterritorialisation, and Reterritorialization by the French philosophers Deleuze and Guattari in the 19701980 project titled Capitalism and Schizophrenia.
Furthermore, this paper will provide case studies from both local Australian architecture adaptive reuse projects and international projects to further stimulate discussion on why adaptive reuse and the thought on Reterritorialization have both economic and sustainable benefits for our cities. This paper will begin with an exploration of adaptive reuse and the difference of across-use and within-use to form a basis for this essay. This will be followed by an introduction and history of both civic and industrial architectural types before moving onto the relationship between reterritorialization and adaptive reuse. Finally, the economic and sustainable benefits of the reterritorialization of existing works will be looked at before concluding with a series of case studies which will be presented as evidence for developers and professionals within the built industry to inform future decision about adaptive reuse.
