Low-Rise Office Project (Construction Documentation)
01
This project involved the end-to-end documentation of a mixed-occupancy, low-rise commercial office building in Richmond. Completed as part of an advanced architectural design studio, the work focused on full compliance with NCC and relevant Australian Standards across structural, accessibility, and energy efficiency requirements. My responsibilities included architectural documentation, consultant coordination, and the integration of WHS protocols within a simulated office environment. This project strengthened my technical drafting, Revit documentation, and compliance navigation skills through detailed resolution of construction components and building services.

La Tagua Cabin
02
This project explored the timeless beauty of La Tagua Cabin. Located in Chile, this architectural wonder seamlessly blends nature and design. With the use of Rhino 7's advanced technology, a 3D model was constructed, then rendered and taken into photoshop for post production refinements. The existing conditions were re-considered in the 3D model as per the instructions of assessment. This poster captures the essence of this enchanting creation.

Queen St House
03
The Queen St project is an existing estate residing in Melbourne. A complete set of drawings were finalized with regard to Australian Standards, simulating what would be needed for an approval from the council in order to start construction. These drawings were completed and thoroughly revised in AutoCAD.

The initial idea of the project was to naturally and effectively ventilate RMIT's Building 100 as this was an apparent issue, especially on the eastern façade. This idea introduced the idea of a mechanism that was able to filter and guide air into the building from the southern façade as there was a strong consistent gust from that direction, and have that air escape on the northern façade. This project was completed in Rhino 7, and physical model demonstrating the idea was submitted.
Digital Applications
05
Specific skills in AutoCAD were utilized to complete a residential project. Building regulations and Australian Standards where thoroughly revised when designing the dwelling.
