Fantastic to see the Camberwell United Tennis Club settling into its landscape.
This was a project where I worked client side assisting the CUTC with the process of the full redevelopment of their clubhouse.
This was a project where all stakeholders: the adjacent residential (heritage overlay) community, the park users and internally within the CUTC, were firmly against the development. Other issues included the original 1930 clubhouse was not built on the title, and the site had limited space.
The resilience and professionalism of the Boroondara Council project managers should be commended and the brilliant architecture by Tony Baenziger is outstanding.
All stakeholders are now more than thrilled with the result.

This project was a fun opportunity, where we revisited a Dryden Crute Design residential project 10 years on. This time the brief was to create a classic and comfortable "home away from home" for the Airbnb marketplace.
After a much needed catch up on maintenance, we combined old and new furniture for a fully updated "refresh".
The owner now has a steady income producing asset. The property has a very safe flow of visitors and is one of Airbnb's "most loved homes" with a 4.96 rating.

If you are looking for a good place to stay in St Kilda, near the action and away from the noise look into:

“Snaps” of some of Dryden Crute Designs suite of urban furniture for Monash University. This range designed between 7 to 12 years ago contributes to Monash University’s urban visual cohesion, functionality, beauty, and identity, while also making maintenance and accessibility more manageable. The long lifespan of these products and fully recyclable materials, make them at great fit for the clients sustainability policies.

The beautiful Fijian tapa cloth makes a strong statement in the upgraded Bure interiors at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. It was great to have had the Design Management role with the Project Control Team on this exciting project.

The best element of this home office design is not the massive hidden storage, the natural light, the generous desks, it’s the hidden sliding doors to close off on a Friday night! #homeoffice
