Coming from a strong background of design, team leading and project delivery, Shawn’s skills have him become invaluable in his role of founder and Director of Base Architecture. His experience in this area has seen him deliver some of Brisbane’s highest profile residential projects including Cutters Landing in New Farm and Ephraim Island on the Gold Coast Broadwater. Projects of this scale require intense co-ordination of design, documentation and on-site construction advice. Complimentary to his management skills Shawn has been involved in the concept development of a number of large scale projects, such as the Boral site at Newstead. Projects such as these have required community consultation in developing positive outcomes that have local and broader community support.

Now Director of Base Architecture, Shawn has been involved with an extensive range of projects cutting across various industries including health, hospitality, commercial, residential and home renovations. His skill and eye for detail have allowed him to pick up numerous RAIA awards for projects including so+gi, Farm, Holy Spirit, Wickham apartment and She Oak. Shawn is also a member representing the RAIA on the steering committee for Sustainable House design throughout South East Queensland, an initiative of the Queensland Government towards developing sustainable housing guidelines. Here he has played an invaluable role through continued involvement and contribution.
