As an award-winning architect with over 20 years’ experience, Andrew brings a depth of knowledge and design clarity that shapes the studio’s ongoing growth and strategic direction. Appointed Managing Director in 2023, he leads with a clear vision grounded in collaboration, innovation, and the belief that good design should be accessible to all.

As a specialist design leader in our housing portfolio of work, Andrew has led some of the studio’s most significant residential and mixed-use developments, balancing design ambition with practical solutions that support liveability and foster a sense of community.

A strong advocate for industry collaboration, Andrew continues to lead key partnerships that push the boundaries of design and construction, most notably leading our collaboration with Stratco Australia to deliver NINELINE, a series of bold, architecturally designed steel wall cladding profiles. He contributes actively to the broader design and construction industry through previous roles such as Jury Chair for the SA Architecture Awards (Houses New and Multi-Residential categories), Planning Committee Member for the Urban Development Institute of Australia (SA Chapter), and most recently as a juror for the 2025 ArchiTeam National Awards in the Residential category.

Transparent“Having worked with Andrew over the past 5 years on some very unique and complex projects, he has exceeded expectations in his level of professionalism and eye for detail and design. Andrew has a forward-thinking approach to architecture which allows him to maintain a conscious focus on innovation and sustainability, whilst striving for the best design outcome for each site.”
