City Recital Hall
The City Recital Hall is a single chamber concert hall that seats 1238 patrons. Suitable for performances of recitals, chamber music and small-scale orchestral and choral works, it provides a smaller and more intimate alternative to the much larger concert hall in the Sydney Opera House. As an independent part of a large commercial development, the recital hall is bounded on three sides by medium and high rise buildings. However, the entries are visible down lanes from Pitt and George Streets. The aim of this new venue was to offer a first class performance venue for small-scale classical music, to re-establish the atmosphere of active laneways (so much a part of the cultural life of Melbourne) in the business area of central Sydney, and to provide a series of linking spaces that create a sensory journey from the street to the auditorium.

Community and Worship Centre - Menai
The congregation of this church had definite ideas of the operation of the building and the configuration for the worship space. As well as making structural sense, the "spider web" of black steel tension ties over the centre of the congregation allows the inclined radiating timber members to define a secondary focus over the congregation.

University Clubhouse
The brief for the Sunshine Coast University Club required a building that could provide varied functions and could also be expanded in the future. A tight budget + short building program resulted in much of structure being prefabricated and the use of steel being minimised.
