I am passionate about delivering world-class architecture that is recognisably ‘of its place’ and responds to the unique identity of the people it serves. I'm a registered architect and Principal at Warren and Mahoney. I joined the practice in 2006 and was appointed a Principal in 2013. Warren and Mahoney is a multi-disciplinary practice with offices in six cities across Australia and New Zealand. The strength of the practice lies in its ability to get to the heart of what makes people and places unique and translate those insights into built form. We see ourselves as makers of places that express the identity of the people they are designed to serve. Warren and Mahoney has a 60-year track record of consistently delivering authentic, enduring work to a loyal, longstanding client base. I spent the formative period of my career in Sydney and Rotterdam. My early experience led to a strong belief in the need for a thorough and transparent design process. This transparency is the key to ensuring that clients are engaged with both the work and the process. I communicate constantly with clients, listen to their requirements and clearly articulate my design responses.I approach a project by identifying a number of objective ‘insights’ into both the poetic potential and the performance requirements as early as possible in the design process. This allows the specific requirements of brief, site and context to be considered in a holistic way. The best architectural outcomes are highly integrated solutions in which architecture, structure, economics and performance are intrinsically linked.
