Beach House 3
The design concept for this house is based on site and functional requirements. The ground level is a robust concrete plinth extending within the length of the mandatory setbacks. It contains all the bedrooms and services. By contrast, the living areas sit at right angles over the plinth, within a lightweight steel and timber pavilion. The southerly prospect and the northerly aspect are maximised.

Jacaranda Square, “The Everyday Stadium” Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, NSW
The product of a successful design competition, Jacaranda Square, “The Everyday Stadium”, is the first new public space of Sydney Olympic Park. “Everyday Stadium” refers both to the Olympic legacy and the design concept itself, which features a large central open space, an edge of walls and seats and a large perimeter shade structure.

The product of a successful design competition, Jacaranda Square, “The Everyday Stadium”, is the first new public space of Sydney Olympic Park. “Everyday Stadium” refers both to the Olympic legacy and the design concept itself, which features a large central open space, an edge of walls and seats and a large perimeter shade structure.
Cool, colourful, clean and green, the park features include a recycled brick pavement – a reminder of the nearby former brick pit, recycled materials and recycled water for irrigation. The green theme continues in the design with the polychrome green shade canopy and the glazed “pixilated” walls that encircle the space. This “complete project” successfully encompasses four design disciplines – landscape architecture, architecture, industrial and graphic design – to create a memorable open space.
In association with Deuce Design + Aspect Studios.

Apartments - Waverley
With dual street frontages and set within a compact urban site, Bronte Road Apartments is a mixed-use project featuring eight apartments and one retail space. To provide protection and privacy from the streetscape, the project is designed as three separate buildings. The street elevations have a strong contextual response to the neighbouring heritage post office and precinct to the south. Materials, fenestration, proportions and alignments were drawn to give the building a simple, robust, infill fabric appearance.

By contrast, the courtyard elevations feature a lighter and more dynamic character. Rich polychrome panels playfully punctuate a more open fenestration. Most of the apartments include balconies and living areas opening onto the courtyard. All apartments feature cross-flow ventilation and abundant natural light.

2030
MWA was one of several Sydney firms invited to flesh out proposals for the Sustainable Sydney 2030 Plan produced by the City of Sydney. MMA with co-ordinators Hill Thalis and Rod Simpson, examined the Ultimo Pyrmont Precinct. Currently, the Ultimo grid is cut from the city and the Historic Powerhouse Building has no street address. The project reinstates Pyrmont Street, reconnects the Ultimo grid and a proper street address, with 2 new public squares, to the Powerhouse Museum.

MWA was one of several Sydney firms invited to flesh out proposals for the Sustainable Sydney 2030 Plan produced by the City of Sydney. MMA with co-ordinators Hill Thalis and Rod Simpson, examined the Ultimo Pyrmont Precinct. Currently, the Ultimo grid is cut from the city and the Historic Powerhouse Building has no street address. The project reinstates Pyrmont Street, reconnects the Ultimo grid and a proper street address, with 2 new public squares, to the Powerhouse Museum.
Pyrmont Street is resuscitated within its historic alignment and passes adjacent to the Powerhouse. New buildings within the resumed Darling Drive Easement activate the eastern side and could part fund the project. The Ultimo Pedestrian network and the Light Rail are both integrated into the new street.
The Powerhouse is remade as a vital hub for Ultimo. The 1980s addition on Harris Street shed is removed and replaced with a six-storey active edged building, set back from the north to create a square to the Pool and Community centre. Pedestrian Links, via historic laneway alignments, are made to the new Pyrmont Street public square. A potential new entry into the dramatic volume of the main building is created.
