About the
Professional

Specialising in site-responsive & energy-efficient houses with a focus on cost-effective planning, solar gain, daylight, natural ventilation & the spatial experience of the occupants.

After completing a Masters of Architecture in 2010, Simon moved back to the coastal town of Lake Cathie and started freelancing for many leading architects, builders, and engineers on the Mid North Coast of NSW. This gave him exposure to a wide range of architectural projects and to be mentored extensively.

Simon experienced varied approaches to architecture and the built environment, learning the most efficient and effective ways to design, communicate and document buildings. Outside of “designing buildings” Simon’s interest in “construction” led him to work on building sites in both Australia and Canada.

An important aspect of every project is Simon's intimate understanding of Spatial Syntax, a unique subject that Simon studied for in his Masters of Architecture thesis. The study of Spatial Syntax, explores the relationship of spaces, both internal and to the environment and is considered in every project that Simon designs for his clients.​

The clients brief, goals and budget are at the forefront of his thinking. Simon strives to provide economically planned buildings to save on excess space, materials and construction costs. His knowledge of site and climate, critically inform his projects.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
