Category:: Community/; Playgrounds and Recreation Spaces

This multi-award-winning 2.5ha post-industrial waterfront park is located on a remediated lubricant production site on the Birchgrove Peninsula in the inner reaches of Sydney harbour. The site’s richly layered history included occupation by indigenous people, construction of the ’Menevia’ marine villa in the 1860s, quarry used for ship ballast and finally petroleum distillation by Caltex from the 1920s until 2002. As lead consultant, McGregor Coxall undertook project management, design development, and construction documentation and administered the construction contract for the client. This project’s design is driven by a strong environmental agenda where recycled materials are used sitewide. Wind turbine generators reflect a movement away from fossil fuels and integrated stormwater management and recycle system ensures that all stormwater entering Sydney Harbour from the site has been cleaned and polished prior to its discharge.

In urban settings, one can draw inspiration from the extraordinary vision of those who dare to reimagine our understanding of the built environment. as an architecture photographer in Sydney, I feel fortunate to be able to make captivating photographs that showcase such vision, creating images that not only celebrate the artistic design of the architect, but also the skilful craft of the builders who erect these structures.

I specialize in high-end architecture and interior photography in Sydney, aiding my clients in communicating and engaging with their audience through striking and impactful images. having a deep understanding of light, depth and space allow me to create simple yet beautiful, timeless images.

Whether I am working with an architectural firm, construction company or interior designer, clear communication with my clients allows me to tailor my service and image-making that ensures the concept of the architectural project is realised.
