In Profile:
BQ Architects

Having completed my masters degree in Melbourne, I took an immediate hands-on position alongside architects and builders which gave a comprehensive understanding of both design and construction. Leveraging this expertise, I founded BQ Architects, where I integrated these insights to offer a truly immersed role in any project.

My design style is contemporary, and it aims to challenge our traditional understanding of design. I strive to create spaces that not only meet current needs but also inspire and push us towards envisioning and achieving what can be, rather than just settling for what is.

My design inspiration comes from a blend of sci-fi and nature. I find that merging, or taking inspiration from, the futuristic principles of sci-fi with the organic, timeless qualities of nature creates a unique and compelling coherence in architecture. This way of thinking encourages us to question and push boundaries. It fosters an innovative process where designs become both artistic and harmonious with the natural world.

The recognition and benchmarking that comes with the awards is pivotal to encouraging continued development and improvement in our industry.

We are currently working on various designs for residential dwellings and multi-tenancy units. There are also projects which have commenced construction which we oversee at intervals. There are also currently a few commercial projects we are overseeing ranging from offices to night clubs which are awaiting authority approval.

By far the most rewarding projects are single architectural homes for families. These homes have a lot of thought and love poured into them throughout the design process as we foster a long-standing relationship with our clients and watch as they ultimately settle and co-exist with our built design.

My own home, being The Male & Female House. Dealing with such a contrasting brief between the two homes was a challenge. This was compounded by the sense of deep attachment any architect has when designing their own home.

To continue to expand BQ Architects reach as we grow and inspire all those around us.
