In a career spanning fifty years as an architect I have played many and diverse roles while living in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra: I have practiced in the fields of architecture, landscape design, urban & regional planning and academia. My professional work specialized in the renovation and re-purposing of buildings, always with a strong emphasis on conservation and sound environmental design, working with nature rather than against her. The philosophy behind my projects is to reduce environmental impact while delivering a result that will perpetually bring delight to my clients.

Finally in retirement, I am gaining hands-on building experience restoring my own 1930s family cottage by the sea and have just completed and published "Ranelagh - A Special Place" Information about this book is here: www.ranelaghpublishinghouse.com
