Do you have a favourite building, space or city in the world?
Melbourne would have to be right up there for me. I spent nine years living there, so I have a huge soft spot for the place. It has everything I love in a city: sport, food, concerts, great coffee, old buildings, new buildings, and a general sense that there’s always something happening. Any city where you can go from a great restaurant to a live gig to a packed sports stadium in the same weekend is hard not to love.
How do you define great design?
Great design is so subjective and can come in endless forms, but for me it is when something looks simple, feels effortless, and quietly does everything it needs to do. Usually, the better it is, the less obvious all the hard work behind it feels.
Can you tell us a little about your role within the studio?
My role is a real mix, which keeps things interesting. I try to keep projects, people and information moving in the right direction, whether that’s supporting the team with project admin, liaising with clients and consultants, helping prepare visual material, or jumping into ArchiCAD and Lumion when needed. I’m also happy getting out on site, working with the marketing team and photographers to help capture projects properly. It’s a nice balance of creative, technical and organisational work, with plenty of variety from one day to the next
What initially drew you to the world of architecture and design?
I’ve always liked figuring out how things go together. I started in product and industrial design, so I’ve always been interested in the detail, the materials and the practical side of making ideas real. Architecture feels like that same thinking, just on a much bigger scale.
How does your design background influence the way you approach studio coordination?
It helps me look at things from both sides, the design idea and the practical steps needed to get there. I’m usually thinking about how information is communicated, how something will be built, and what needs to happen next.
What do you enjoy most about working closely with both clients and the design team?
I like seeing an idea move from a conversation into something real. Working with both clients and the design team gives you a good sense of the bigger picture — what the home means to the client, and what needs to happen to make it work.
How do you help keep projects and the studio running smoothly?
I try to stay organised, keep communication clear, and make sure the right information is where it needs to be. I think it helps that I’m a mix of Type A, B, C and probably D personalities; organised enough to keep things on track, relaxed enough not to panic, detail focused enough to notice the small stuff, and persistent enough to follow things up when needed. A big part of it is catching the little things before they become bigger things with urgent subject lines.
How would you describe the culture of the studio?
Friendly, thoughtful and collaborative. Everyone cares about doing good work, but the studio still has a relaxed, light-hearted feel. There’s usually a bit of humour in the mix, which suits me — I don’t take myself too seriously, but I do like being part of a team that takes the work seriously.
Are there any architects, designers or movements that inspire you?
A designer I’ve admired since my Vic Uni days is Piero Lissoni. I like that his work doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard, whether it’s a chair, a kitchen, a hotel interior or a full architectural space, everything feels simple, refined and well thought through. There’s a lot of work behind it and nothing feels contrived. That’s the kind of design I’m drawn to: spaces and objects that are easy to live with, but still properly considered.
What drew you to joining O’Neil + Shirley Architecture?
The quality of the work and the reputation that O'Neil + Shirley has was a big part of it. The studio has a really considered approach to residential architecture, and it felt like a great opportunity to be part of a team that values design, detail and the client experience.
What inspired you to pursue a career in design?
I had always had a passion for architecture and this became more evident as I travelled. From London, Canada to London, England. From the Maasai Huts to Sagrada Familia and back home to the classic New Zealand bungalow which I grew up in. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity, when my children were young, to retrain and follow my passion.
How would you describe your design philosophy in a few words?
Clean, intentional, empathetic and client focussed.
What’s the most rewarding part of being a designer?
Seeing your projects come to fruition is very satisfying, but the biggest reward comes from seeing the joy and happiness on the face of the clients.
How do you define great design?
Great design should be harmonious between functionality, aesthetics and usability.
Who or what has influenced your design style the most?
I have always been inspired by the mid-century modern aesthetic, and there are several famous architects from that era which I admire. My favourite book is about the Case Study Houses which were experiments in residential architecture in post-war America, most of which I would still be happy to live in today.
What’s been your most rewarding project so far?
A holiday home on Lake Hayes. The views are incredible; the site was small and challenging; and the clients were fabulous to work with.
How do you approach balancing aesthetics and functionality in a project?
This requires a thoughtful, user-centred design approach, integrating both form and purpose from the beginning. Every client is different and it is all about listening to the their needs, wants and wishes.
How do you ensure a design remains timeless?
By avoiding as much as possible the trends of the day. Stay true to your design aesthetic.
What’s your favourite phase of a project?
Visiting our clients once they have moved in to their new home.
How do you ensure each project feels unique?
That’s easy! Each project is unique. Each client is different, their needs and wants are different. This results in each house having a completely different floor plan, one that suits the client. Each client has a particular look they are drawn towards, so that helps guide the overall look.
What’s the most important factor when collaborating with clients?
Listening.

this video feature, our client Paul Lloyd shares his experience and what he loves most about his home, Nau Mai. Nestled within the breathtaking Clearwater Golf Resort, this exceptional residence offers stunning views of the Southern Alps, combining contemporary design with a refined, resort-like setting.
“We’re immensely proud of the end result,” says Paul. “It took about a year to go through the design and consenting process and just over a year to build. It’s really the small details, and the quality of finish, that is really magnificent. I’ve built houses a couple of times now and this is by far our greatest achievement – we just love it to bits.”
