Urban Synergies

Mayfield North Newcastle, NSW Location:

The Urban Synergies Project located at the old BHP Steelworks, is a direct response to Australia’s ever growing housing crisis, with the project s primary focus on expanding social housing to create equitable spaces and stable living for all. Drawing inspiration from the concept of synergy - the cooperation of elements to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual parts- The project imagines a community where people live and work together, promoting inclusivity and control over living conditions. By rethinking home design and shifting the focus away from private ownership, Urban Synergies encourages shared spaces that enhance equality and sustainability

House Renovation & Addition

complying development set

During my work placement, I had the opportunity to contribute to a residential extension and renovation project that involved adding a new master suite, laundry, and guest bedroom. Working closely with the Director and clients, I developed a complying development documentation set in Revit, ensuring precision and alignment with the project vision. This experience enhanced my technical proficiency in Revit and strengthened my ability to collaborate within a professional design team.
