Peter uses design to better understand the world around him. Insatiably curious, he sees each project as a chance to dive into something new, be it place, culture, material or experience. For Peter, architecture is best practised with a light-hearted, playful and open mindset.
Peter believes architecture is as much art and poetics as it is engineering or construction, and is inspired to create spaces that evoke an emotional response. With a long interest in philosophy, he is drawn to create spaces that communicate, reinforce and support values.
Awarded nationally and internationally for his high-profile tourism project portfolio, Peter’s work includes transforming sensitive heritage sites like Tasmania's Pumphouse Point and The Apple Shed, as well as new projects such as Saffire and Devil’s Corner. His work always has a clear, central idea that informs each design and construction decision. Peter is a past winner of the Timber Design Association’s Timber Awards and the Tasmanian Emerging Architect Prize, and is a graduate of the RAIA/Dulux Study Tour program for Emerging Architects.
He does his best work late at night with room to think, fuelled by challenges, feedback and others’ ideas from earlier in the day. And with the promise of a good single malt close to hand.
