Removing The Mystery From Your Architectural Design

Written By Alexander Hill

The greatest talent of an architect is the ability to create places as well as communicate them to their clients and trades. We recently used ConceptV to add colour and texture to our Red Hill House to create an online tour that is accessible from anywhere using the URL below.

Awarded the Architects Board of South Australia Prize in 2001, I began my career in Melbourne in 2002. In 2007 I started my practice with a beach house in Queenscliff. Intent on focusing on private dwellings, I continued working with builders to understand how to better implement an architectural design, which ultimately led to my own builder’s license. In 2015 I joined Destination Living to work on scaling the architect-builder model. Finally, in 2021 I pulled it all together to open my one-person office.
