Before this Fred was co-director of the award-winning Batterton Tyack Architects in the UK. His background includes researching the needs of contemporary churches in the UK, US and Australia. He has a special interest in how spaces impact upon the relationships of the users and how they benefit their core business.
He has also worked on university buildings, aged care projects, individual and multi- unit housing including affordable housing and many other project types. Adaptation, repair and extension of heritage buildings has been a significant part of his work.
Fred believes that new work should be designed and constructed to complement an existing heritage building of quality. It should be respectful piece of 21st century architecture, cleverly performing its role whilst making its claim to be of this age.
Fred has worked with heritage church buildings in the UK and Australia, new suburban churches and has master-planned a mega-church. Alongside the experience of conservation and adaptation of heritage buildings he has also worked with developers to maximise development value and has applied this to the benefit of the church as landowners.
He believes that new buildings should respond to their setting with confidence. Every building has a responsibility to contribute to the environment sustainably, practically and aesthetically.
Fred was a churchwarden for nine years in a UK Oxfordshire Cotswold parish after which he became a member of St Aldate's, Oxford. Following this he immigrated to Australia where he has been a member of St Michael's North Carlton and a past Church Council member. Fred is married with five adult children and four grandchildren.
Fred is passionate about how good quality design can improve life for the users of buildings, making them more effective and sustainable facilities and creating real value and enjoyment.lihat lebih sedikit
