Design and documentation: Work in progress to add an accessible semi-independent living area to the ground level of this 1963 Warren and Mahoney house. I prepared drawings for the owners to discuss with a plumber with a view to applying for a building consent or exemption.

Design and documentation: I designed and detailed the new balustrade for an existing wharf, as a graduate architect at Iriving Jack Architects in collaboration with Ian Jack and a structural engineer.
