With formal training as a registered Architect, I enjoy creating projects with purpose and enriching outcomes for my clients and the community.I have over my career come to understand that my skill set has applications beyond the profession of Architecture and continually seek opportunities to utilise my ability to positively shape the world around me. I have embarked on a deliberate trajectory to achieve this through built outcomes as well as advocacy, research and philanthropy.Today, I am an Architect and Managing Director of Das Studio. In this role I am able to utilise my wide ranging skill set on a range of project typologies with a particular focus on high quality bespoke design and complex construction.Following on from my 2015 Jack Hobbs McConnell Travelling Fellowship in Architecture, I have been able to broaden my knowledge of advanced construction methodologies from around the world and champion the implementation of prefabrication and manufacturing ideologies to construction.Building on this technical foundation, in 2021, I was awarded the National Emerging Architect Prize by the Australian Institute of Architects and together with my wife and business partner Sara Horstmann, we have established an award winning team of Architects, Interior Designers and Landscape Architects to deliver some impactful projects.

Creative Director & AmbassadorFad - Festival Of Architecture & Design Sep 2014 - Jul 2021Adelaide, AustraliaFAD came about as a result of Anthony Balsamo and I connecting at the Australian Institute of Architects. As two engaged and active young architects who aren’t afraid of getting our hands dirty, we believed in the importance of promoting discussion about the built environment and design in South Australia. FAD is an investment in the future. It provides a platform for heightened discussion outside the daily grind of practice, as well as an opportunity to include the public in the debate. It’s a vehicle for grass roots discussions that raises awareness and knowledge over time. The aim is to enable architects and designers together with the community and policy shapers to engage in a higher level of conversation about the future of our urban environment. It’s important to empower people to have their own voice and to build ownership of decision making through genuine consultation. Real sustainable change is possible when people feel empowered and understand the context within which decisions are made.These conversations will be had by the people that design our homes, schools and our hospitals, the streets we walk and the parks in which we play. The ideas shared in this forum will ultimately find their way into our built environment. -

2015 FellowJack Hobbs Mcconnell Traveling Fellowship Oct 2014 - Dec 2015Adelaide Area, AustraliaEstablished in 2007 following a bequest from the estate of the late modernist architectural figure Jack Hobbs McConnell who died in 2005 aged 92, the Fellowship is for promising designers, who might ultimately practice in South Australia, to undertake an independent program of research or course of further study in Architecture or a related field.As the 2015 Fellow, my chosen field of study was the growing field of modular construction. My particular interest lies in the advances that are being made in modular construction that can be adapted for commercial, infrastructure and residential projects. This, I believed would encourage South Australia to become an incubator for the development of future building technologies and promote new growth in the manufacturing industry. I evaluated the current capability in South Australia before exploring interstate fabrication facilities capable of producing structures from basic dwelling units up to multi-story apartment complexes. I worked with a national construction company to provide access to projects in remote areas of Australia and then accompany staff to inspect their work in South East Asia.The final part of the research involved travel to Europe to visit leading modular construction companies and gain exposure to best practice examples.
