The design is characterised by simplicity and clarity, with compelling imagery creating a landmark cultural destination.

To accommodate a floodway across the site, SAM has a small footprint extruded vertically over five levels with an efficient floor to façade ratio. Sustainable features include Passive House principles to deliver an energy efficient, thermally comfortable, healthy indoor environment.

A transparent and delightful visitor experience is created via an open circulation stairway within a central galleria. Four galleries are accommodated, and panoramic views are offered from the roof top events space. All services and back of house functions are cleverly concealed under an artificial ‘Art Hill’ which creates an important extension of the surrounding parkland for the community.

Externally, the aged building is given a complete refresh, removing a large space-frame steel roof, and replacing it with an elegant portal structure framing the main building and entrance steps. New, high-performance glazing replaces older, reflective glass and create a more transparent and sustainable building to serve the University for decades to come.

The ground plane of the library is defined by large public engagement and events spaces, including a large, timber lined auditorium, lounges for breakout meetings and smaller gatherings, display of local cultural artefacts and dedicated space for book launches and events. These spaces spill out through transparent glazed facades onto large external terraces and plazas, with views over the surrounding plazas and hillside landscapes.

A large internal timber-lined amphitheatre and atrium connects students, academics, and the public together over three levels in an expansive, daylit space, forming a variety of spaces for students to study informally in groups or individually. Beside the atrium, more traditional and quieter spaces including reading rooms, book stacks, study areas and administration open onto a series of landscaped courtyards, providing views over the campus and another alternative for outdoor collaboration and study.

The exterior, a black granite envelope, features large operable panels which open up to ‘reveal’ the interior or to provide outlook or natural light.  The operable panels also allow for the otherwise solid, singular object to take on a changing character depending on the requirements of a particular exhibition.

The exhibition space is a pure rectilinear white space of an almost perfect square proportion, where art is the focus.

Entry to the two level concrete and steel structure, is via a steel ramp leading to a floating concrete terrace overlooking the Rio dei Giardini canal.

The new Australian Pavilion is the first 21st century pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale, completed for the 56th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, in May 2015.

Fulfilling several important aims in the management of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the scheme includes improved visitor facilities, better opportunities for interpretation of the stones and the wider site, and most importantly, a substantially improved landscape setting in which to appreciate Stonehenge.

Supported by slender angled stick columns, a non-reflective metal roof shelters various visitor amenities.  Its edges are perforated to dapple the light reaching the exhibition and education facilities housed below in a pair of single-storey cubes, one glass and the other timber.

Maintaining a stable ambient temperature, the lower levels housed in the mound are storage for manuscripts, books and research / reference materials.  Book stacks are arranged on the outer perimeter of the circular base.  Closer to the centre are the reading rooms, where the composition opens up to dramatic views of the lake.

Narrow bands of with glass openings are carved into granite towers of varying heights that rise from the mound.  Overlooking the lake, the upper floors house a variety of meeting and seminar rooms.

Rain water is captured for use on site, waste water is treated and recycled and energy consumption is minimised.  Vegetation on the 2.5 hectare site plays an important part of the design with existing mature trees and vegetation retained and incorporated into the landscape design.

Housing up to five million items and visited by up to 20,000 people a day, the library is one of the largest in Asia.

The building houses 47 courtrooms, 75 consultation rooms, offices and support space located in Spinningfields, the large scale regeneration area in central Manchester marked by innovative and sustainable design.

The working courts and offices are designed as long rectilinear forms, articulated at each floor level, and projecting at each end of the building as a varied composition of solid and void.  The hierarchy and number of courts set the length of these ‘sticks’.  In side elevation, these elements collectively establish a dynamic and distinctive building profile; in end elevation, they form a powerful sculptural interplay of light and shade, depth and complexity.  All circulation, gathering and meeting pods are within a 10-storey glass walled atrium.  The architectural implication of the transparency of the building is that the courts are not forbidding or concealed, but open and accessible.

Accommodating archive, research laboratories, offices and workshops, the form is read as a masonry monolith bedded into the landscape behind an existing stone embankment.

The elevation treatment facing the Memorial is a re-interpretation of the Administration Building façade, also designed by Denton Corker Marshall.  Narrow horizontal slot windows are the same width and rhythm as the Administration Building but establish a greater sense of solidity to the form.  The elevations comprise honed precast concrete linear ‘planks’ finely jointed with horizontal coursing.

The warm-grey colour represents the darkest sandstone tones found on the Memorial, similar to Anzac Hall, achieving visual connection through colour and materiality, whilst tonally blending into the native landscape of grey-green vegetation.

The 37-storey office tower and podium of 65,000m2 accommodates Brisbane City Council’s offices and public library, with retail facilities and a public plaza, as well as commercial office space for the building owner.

Designed as an important social and cultural hub for the city, the ground plane is dedicated to the public domain. Shops, cafes and food outlets at street level open onto a public space in front of the neighbouring old Treasury building. Floating over the plaza and providing slashes of colour are four low-rise linear stick buildings housing the council library, customer service centre and other office space.

The tower sits six storeys above ground and has two distinct sections. Yellow sticks set the top ten levels apart for use by the owner, while a perforated sunscreen over the glass facade demarcates the Council offices. The sunscreen speaks to the environmental efficiency of the high performance glazed curtain wall, illustrating the council’s commitment to ESD principles and providing a distinct identity for the city offices.

Brisbane Square is an emblematic gateway to the city and a distinctive addition to the city’s skyline.

State-of-the-art acoustic and technological facilities cater for concerts and live performances as well as conventions.  Parking for 80 buses and 2,000 cars is accommodated on site, while the adjacent tower houses administrative offices.

The concept is a simple stone sculpture buried into the landscape.  The oval auditorium that emerges out of the mound becomes a less imposing form in the landscape
