With a lifelong dedication to heritage restoration, I bring over 38 years of experience working on some of Australia's most iconic landmarks, spanning both government and ecclesiastical projects. My work and studies in building conservation have led me across Australia and Europe, from Sydney Town Hall and Central Station to training in traditional stonemasonry at the Basilica Di San Marco in Italy and in the Languedoc region of France.As Managing Director of Abode Restoration, I lead a team of highly skilled artisans who view heritage preservation as both an art and a responsibility. Each project is treated with a commitment to quality and a focus on preserving the unique character of heritage properties. Notable projects I have contributed to include Sydney’s St Mary’s and St Andrew's Cathedrals, Hong Kong House, the GPO, The State Library of Victoria, and a series of iconic Melbourne structures: Fitzroy Town Hall, North Melbourne Town Hall, Myer Emporium, Brunswick Town Hall, and Newport Train Clock Tower.At Abode, our expertise lies in balancing traditional craftsmanship with refined, modern methods to achieve sophisticated, discreet restorations that honour a building’s original splendour. Whether preserving historic architecture or providing guidance on conservation procedures, I am passionate about contributing to Melbourne's architectural legacy, ensuring its beauty and integrity for future generations.
