Robert has spent 15 years on both sides of the building process. He has designed homes and developments as an architect, and worked in construction and development, where designs meet budgets and building sites. That experience shapes how he designs: every decision is checked against how it will be built and what it will cost.

​

His work covers houses, dual occupancy, multi unit housing and commercial projects. He has also led design and technical development for a prefabricated building system, which took him deep into building code compliance. For clients, that means approvals are handled by someone who knows the rules in detail.

​

Every design still starts with a pencil. Robert draws concept options by hand and tests them against the planning rules before anything is documented.
