Born and trained in Belgium, I bring a European design sensibility shaped by international experience. I’ve had the privilege of working in award-winning architecture practices in both London and Hobart, and my work has been recognised with multiple awards for design excellence and innovation.
Now based in Hobart, I lead a practice that offers a personal and collaborative approach to design. My work specialises in residential alterations, new houses and small commercial projects, creatively tailored to client needs. With a passion for design, people and the environment, I create inspiring buildings that have a natural elegance and authenticity.
I believe good design contributes to a better quality of life. I enjoy creating spaces for families to grow and live better together and connect with the environment they are a part of.
My work has a deep connection to place and is focused on material honesty, thermal performance and constructibility, striving for responsive architecture that contributes to the public domain.
The Design Process
Creating a home or building is a journey—and I’m here to guide you through each step. Here’s how we’ll work together:
1. Define the Vision
We begin by understanding what matters most to you—how you live, what you need, and what you value. Together, we define the goals and long-term vision for your project so we have a clear direction from the start.
2. Concept Design
This is the big-picture stage. We explore ideas, layouts, and how your spaces relate to the site and to each other. It’s about shaping the overall feel and flow.
3. Design Development
Now we refine the design and start to look at the details—how the building works from the inside out. Materials, structure, light, and function all come into focus to create a design that’s both beautiful and practical.
4. Documentation
This is where everything comes together into a clear set of drawings and specifications for builders. It includes all the technical information needed to bring the design to life, ensuring everything is ready for construction.
5. Construction & Collaboration
Once building begins, I stay involved—working closely with your builder to ensure the process runs smoothly and the design is delivered as intended. I’m here to help solve problems, answer questions, and keep things on track

I acknowledge and respect Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples as the State's first peoples and recognise them as the traditional owners and continuing custodians of the land and waters of this beautiful island, Lutruwita (Tasmania) on which I work, learn, and live.
