6PM: THE PROFESSIONAL PANEL

An exclusive session for the specifying community - Architects, Designers and Builders. Tom is joined by two leading Australian practitioners with a sharp point of view on where residential architecture is heading.

Rob Mills

Over 30 years designing high-end residential projects across Australia and New Zealand. At HDE he challenges the assumption that luxury and sustainability can't coexist, drawing on his off-grid family retreat, Howqua River Lodge.

Josh FitzGerald

Archier

Co-founder of certified carbon-neutral practice Archier and fabrication studio Candour. His provocation: technology doesn't replace craft, it protects it.
