At @the_gordon TAFE City Campus Geelong, a series of existing heritage buildings, training spaces and hospitality venues have been reimagined as a vibrant culinary training precinct, supporting development of next-generation hospitality skills.
Through strategic interventions across the campus courtyard and surrounding buildings, a series of new training kitchens, industry event spaces and dining venues have been realised.
The design approach sought to reveal and reinstate embedded architectural heritage, with respectful contemporary overlays integrated to better connect spaces, create new hospitality venues, and showcase the institute`s culinary programs.
The result is a precinct that honours its past while delivering an industry-leading immersive training environment and dramatically enhanced campus experience.

Our Central Park Tower project has been shortlisted in the 2025 @zakawards for Adaptive Reuse / Refurbishment Project of the Year.
The project repositions Perth’s tallest commercial tower with a revitalised façade strategy that enhances vertical expression and improves environmental performance, while respecting the building’s original identity.
New cladding elements reinterpret the original design intent through a contemporary lens, balancing precision and restraint while strengthening the tower’s connection to its urban context.

At 469 and 485 La Trobe Street, traditional commercial lobbies have been reimagined as open, public spaces designed for pause, interaction and informal work.
This repositioning strategy reflects a broader shift in how buildings contribute to the public realm, extending value beyond the tenant and into the city itself.
As discussed by our Melbourne Design Week panel, activating the ground plane is key to restoring relevance, safety and civic life in a hybrid workforce landscape.

Central to our design for Chisholm Institute`s Frankston Campus redevelopment was the conceptualisation of a "green spine".
Extending diagonally throughout the grounds, the green spine provides a seamless connection between existing buildings and external recreation areas, creating a welcoming and easy-to-navigate environment for patrons.
Acting as an artery that connects the entire Institute, the spine has also been designed to easily integrate future additions to the campus with existing assets.
