A ‘break away’ from your busy life, located in Breaker Bay. The design process for Breakaway Bach was inspired by my love for painting and the time I spent living on a boat. The shape of paint blobs and the calming feeling of the ocean were combined to create a bach that felt relaxing and connected to nature.

 Breakaway Bach

This project looked at an existing well known apartment complex in Wellington - Gordon Wilson Flats. Flat C was chosen, then existing drawings were created. From there, the apartment was redesigned, specified and presented. The designer used colours from the 50s, when the building was built as well as ample storage to ensure the small studio apartment wasn't cluttered..

This project was focused on the redesign of the Newtown Public Library. The main design driver for my project revolved around the introduction of the public park and natural lighting.

"Commonplace?" materializes a desire that seeks to highlight the letter 'a'. As one of the vowels, 'a' is often forgotten in the conscious mind, much like the carpets underneath your feet.
