Description

In this talk, Simon will discuss what it is like to run his own small practice in the big city of Sydney.

He will show a number of his projects over the last 42-year career, beginning with his humble start and first major commission -designing 24 Townhouses- up to his recently completed renovation and addition to a State Heritage-listed small Hotel in Sydney's CBD.

His portfolio includes Warehouses conversions, Pubs, and both Residential and Commercial projects. Simon will explore the intricacies of meeting client briefs, securing necessary approvals, and addressing today’s requirements for Sustainability, provision for Access & Mobility and Fire Safety.
