Hello! My name is Fraser, I am Graduate of Architecture from RMIT. I have a passion for architectural design that engages and facilitates greater cultural significance, user interaction and sustainable practice in a technological and conceptual capacity. For the last two years, I have been engaged in medium and large projects in the education sector while working as a Design Graduate for Lyons. My love for making and carpentry has resulted in the utmost respect for high quality detailing and joinery, and I strive to incorporate this into my architecture for a wholistic and tangible interaction between the users and their built environment.
I can offer versatile and professional skills, well-suited to high performing team-oriented working environments. My academic and professional work spans the production of such projects through a multitude of computer aided design programs and physical experimentation to ensure successful architectural realisation and delivery. I believe the blend of formal exploration with refined detail will always deliver the most conscious and evoking intervention.
