Ventias West Sydney is an attractive new home nestled in the greenery of the Western Sydney University Architecture and surrounding community.

Ventia West Sydney raises the bar to provide a new level of comfort and wellbeing for the West Sydney staff. Designed to attract staff and encourage people to come to the workplace their space is connected, thoughtful and inspiring. Their home includes comfortable lounge spaces, quiet work areas, a gym, games area, connecting stairs and extensive entertaining and collaboration areas.

Taking Ventia on the sustainability design journey has been really rewarding and interesting as we witness there awareness about their Carbon footprint awaken. Designed to be minimal without using materials where not necessary, Ventia were keen to see the raw and industrial fabrics wash through their fitout.

Their new space is also designed for inclusion and accessibility of staff and visitors. User groups of different abilities and faiths have been accommodated. The barriers between staff and visitors have been broken down with only recyclable mesh separating zones and also allowing for efficiency when air conditioning.

Furnishings have been sourced locally where possible and for reuse. All materials have been reviewed for sustainability and life cycle to minimise the carbon footprint of the fitout.

Located within the central CBD area, this existing commercial building was previously renovated with foam cladding presenting a fire safety risk to its occupants. Rather than simply replacing new for old, there was an opportunity to breathe new life and personality into the existing 1950’s building. With the desire to minimise the impact on the internal fit-outs, retain as much of the existing glazing as possible and working within the limits of the structural load capabilities, a highly unique outcome was required.

The new transformation comprises a matrix of metal cladding panels and extrusions to create a sleek, industrial tectonic to work harmoniously with the existing gridded facade composition. To compliment the tower facade, finer metalwork elements, exposed brickwork and expressive lighting bring a finer grain detail and pedestrian scale to the lower levels.

As part of the new upgrades, the facade design also brings an improvement to the thermal performance of the building, reducing its on-going running costs. When complete, the upgraded building will provide improved long-term investment, create an attractive workspace to its tenants, and continue to act as a citizen of the city for decades to come.

Our task to provide equitable access and better facilities for members and guests is a long and winding road. Fundamentally the original 80’s Architecture stands strong and creating new links through the building, and around the building, is creating some great outcomes. The refurbishment hinges on the greenspace of the greens and the extensive trees and heritage of these, which surround the club.

The sport itself drives us to integrate the activity into the building, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor. The renovation includes extensive new changerooms for male, female, unisex and PWD, new foyer, lift, business lounge and admin spaces. A new extension includes golf retail and expands the golf operations offerings.

Inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly, the design mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive. Lush subtropical greenery is thoughtfully woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city. 10 Morrow Street is an urban oasis that blends short term accommodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.

Comprising 82 thoughtfully crafted homes across studio, one- and two-bedroom typologies, the Cleveland Street project by BHC brings a new depth of community to Stones Corner. Anchored by a strong social mission, the architecture balances clean, refined lines with enduring, earthy materials, including concrete, warm brick, and timber tones, offering both resilience and humanity.

Set within a 10-storey form, the design speaks subtly to its urban precinct, while generous operable windows, natural cross-ventilation, and rich greenery soften the form and connect residents to the sky and street. Vertical articulation and subtle setbacks foster a sense of calm scale, even at height.

Deep balconies and communal retreats, including an open-air rooftop terrace, weave social interaction and quiet refuge into daily life. With low-maintenance finishes, sustainable systems (including rainwater harvesting and solar power), and a 7+ star NatHERS performance target, the building is rooted in long-term stewardship.

All homes meet Gold Livable Housing standards, and one achieves Platinum level, a testament to the commitment to dignity and adaptability.

In this way, ARQ at Cleveland is more than just a building: it is a resilient, uplifting community-building expression of affordable housing that endures, fosters belonging, and reflects the spirit of Stones Corner.

The ultimate in beachfront living, Pipis at Bilinga is an exclusive collection of 17 half floor residences and two double story penthouses with uninterrupted coastal views.

Drawing inspiration from the sculptured dunes that frame the idyllic coastal setting, Pipis is series of horizontally stacked forms, broken up by green breaks and floor to ceiling glazing, creating articulated and light dappled internal spaces. The masterfully designed interiors create light filled liveable spaces that capture cooling ocean breezes. Spacious and functional, each apartment features high quality fixtures, state of the art appliances and stone benchtops throughout.

A refined coastal palette of understated yet elegant finishes highlight bespoke details and embodies the timeless essence of beachfront luxury.

Pipis delivers high-end in-house lifestyle amenities; including a 15m heated lap pool and sun lounge deck, fully equipped gymnasium and outdoor rain shower with dog wash to rinse off the sand. Offering direct back entry access to the beach and ocean bike pathway, residents can enjoy the most the Gold Coast has to offer.

The new AFL Clubhouse brings together the community in the context of the new Mirvac development, Everleigh. Providing for teams, trainers and visitors, the design sleeves the curve of the sports field and takes in the greenery and open spaces.

Within the club there are boardrooms and operational offices, ample change rooms, showrooms and amenities are also provided for teams, trainers and the community. A well equipped cafe and canteen services the community day by day and supports the teams on games days.

Working alongside Council and Mirvac, we have designed a facility which balances the brief and the practicalities required for the club to stand the test of time.

This state-of-the-art venue, built by Bedford Built, features an MCG-sized oval and is equipped to host major sporting events such as grand finals and representative fixtures.

The clubhouse is adorned by a striking sculptural roof for shading, ample natural light through spherical apertures, and a neutral, timeless material palette. A true community landmark, it offers exceptional views and robust design that will stand the test of time.

Ashford Residences is a master-planned residential enclave in Everton Park. The estate will comprise of a combination of attached and detached residences masterplanned to create a unique offering focusing on a owner occupier market. The residents’ club hosts entertaining pavilions including alfresco dining , sunken fire pit, resort style pool, fully equipped gymnasium and is surrounded by an Eco Area and lush sub-tropical greenery.

The 22m long resort style pool is the centrepiece of the facility extending out to the wetland edge. Surrounding the pool is a multitude of seating options to cater for everything from large group functions, intimate gatherings, families or individuals searching for a quite retreat. The process was extremely collaborative between ourselves, the client, landscape architect and other specialist consultants as we wanted to create a truly integrated and carefully considered outcome that was enjoyable to use at all times of the day.
