About Greg Bowler

I’m a Design Director at Become.Architecture - an architectural practice focussed on the creation of places that positively affects people’s lives I've spent the last 10 years working for leading Australian architectural practices in the fields of Architecture and Urban Design.My unique background has given me the hands-on experience in all facets of the job that would contribute to an architectural team’s goals and objectives. I have made numerous contributions to my past employers to secure new work – developing front end design concepts by not only creating vision but seeing things through thoughtfully and overcoming compromise. In addition, I have taken pride in working on more detailed packages for a number of projects on site.My time working here has enabled me to successfully gain insight into many of the most significant and complex challenges which Australia, and in particular, Sydney faces today such as education and childcare, urban renewal, Australia’s ageing tsunami and of course the need to house and provide jobs for the extra 1.3 million residents predicted for Sydney by 2031. Its long been a belief of mine that architects should operate as spatial agents with others in the production of social space – extending the role of the architect to take into account the consequences of architecture as much as the objects of architecture, therefore the highly interrelated activities of architecture, planning and policy should go hand-in-hand.

Traditionally retirement villages are developed at the fringe of our expanding cities where land is cheap and plentiful forcing our elderly to leave their communities at a vulnerable time in their lives, however, Greengate villages are inner urban, located close to existing amenity; shops, hospitals, churches and transport.This presents an exciting new opportunity to work on a new typology for Senior’s Living often manifesting itself into mixed-use vertical villages. This new model allows our elderly to stay in the community where socialisation and care is readily available.Completed a DA and various S96 applications for St. Patrick's Green located at Chapel Street, Kogarah to the south east of Sydney CBD. Village includes a 72 bed aged care nursing home and 137 independent living apartments arranged around a village green and community lounge, café and dining space and is part of a broader campus containing a primary school and historic church. Currently under construction.Completed a feasibility for St Faber’s Green - a new retirement community on the land surrounding the Holy Spirit Church on Harriett Street, Auchenflower in Brisbane.
