We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again (mostly because that’s how taglines work) – we want to shape a better environment for people. We’re some of the lucky ones – because we actually get to work on what we believe in.
We’re incredibly proud to have worked alongside Koichi Takada Architects and Stockland on the Triniti project – a build-to-rent development that not only brings to life an inclusive, welcoming, safe, playful, restful space to inhabit – it also gives “… more people the chance to live securely in some of the best places in our cities…”

Earlier this week, our team were on site to kick off the final phase of construction for Stage 1 of Stockland’s MPark – a uniquely master planned precinct in Macquarie Park. Our team have worked hard with the incredible First Nations Working Group pictured to design green spaces that, in Stockland’s own words create:
“… a nurturing environment for teams to perform at their best, while simultaneously protecting our planet.”
It’s exciting to try and save the world, it’s even cooler to do so in a growing precinct that supports business, innovation and local talent.

Julia explores water sensitive design in our cities as a guest speaker at the April edition of Craft + Design Institute’s Creative Exchange
“What if we could articulate water systems as urban space? Water systems as food production opportunities as part of that space? Water systems as sacred space? Water systems as recreation and amenity? At the moment we have turned our backs on them, and we don’t see the value.”
