We love small projects, and passionately believe that good design applies to all budgets.

Example 1 – Thorp boatshed, inclinator and landscaping at Church Point. This steep and landslide prone site has been transformed by Simon’s design. The large stone retaining walls have stabilized the site, while the inclinator provides access to the boatshed and wharf. And the boatshed offers additional accommodation options for guests, parties etc.
Example 2 – Spon-Smith studio at Palm Beach.
Another case where the addition of a small self – contained studio over the existing garage provides valuable additional accommodation options.
The irregular hexagon shaped garage offered some fun options for an interesting geometric design.
