About us

Originating from the Gold Coast, Australia, James has a background in studies of Civil Engineering & Architecture, as well as several years’ experience in building & design.

Following completion of his Master of Architecture degree at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, James migrated to the small coastal town of Nambucca Heads where he gained one on one experience with the town architect of 40+ years - Alan Rudge Architects.

In his time with Alan Rudge Architects, James has led the delivery of an array of bespoke residential projects from the early stages of schematic design, through to project procurement & completion.

Design Philosophy

Nature is our home and our source of replenishment - So how can we expect to live our lives to the fullest when the habitats which we occupy remove us from this Source?

It’s time to return to what’s real - Fresh food, fresh air, fresh water, and natural habitats that promote healthy relationships with our family & loved ones.

Each site speaks for itself, as does each client - My role is to deeply listen to both parties and envision, document & deliver the habitat which brings the best out of each.

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Furthermore, although it may not be Traditional - I believe we are all custodians of the land on which we stand. We are all of this land, of this sea, and this community, and should all strive to uphold the respect to Country as demonstrated by the Indigenous Elders of all cultures past and present.
