Swissotel, Sydney
This landmark design was developed for the airspace over the historical Grace Bros building in the retail core of the city. It provides a mixed use development which attracts residents and tourists into the heart of the central business district.
The complex incorporates a range of facilities including a fully equipped gym, heated lap pool, spa and sauna, as well as serviced office and boardroom facilities.

A quality international tourist resort.

Pulau Besin Resort, Myanmar
Pulau Besin, located 6 km to the west of the border of Thailand and Myammar, was designed as a totally interactive themed resort island. It consists of international gaming facilities, animated resort hotels and duty free and tax free retail all within a tropical island setting.
Upon arrival at the island, the visitor becomes an adventurer on a personally chartered quest, passing through a series of layered scenarios each with a different character and puzzle to be resolved. A bold new and diverse landscape was created to maximise the physical attributes of the island and reinforce the sense of place. In order to produce an integrated resort, the landscape was designed as an extension of the buildings and also as a series of experiences or quests, forming important components of the island adventure.
Conrad Jupiter's Pool Area, Gold Coast
Having not been refurbished since 1985, revitalisation of the Conrad Jupiters’ pool area played an integral part of the re-invention of the Hotel. The pool area design created a unique entertainment destination and luxury facility for relaxation, indulgence, fitness, health and entertainment. Zones for different user groups, expectations and experiences were provided including:
-
family swim areas and children’s pools;
-
adult only pools and relaxation areas; and
-
exercise / lap pools.
