project outcome
Eight suspended tube assemblies delivered within an operational hospitality venue. Project value: $300k AUD. Design phase: 8 weeks. Installation phase: 1.5 weeks.
My contribution: concept and detailed design, fabrication documentation, supplier and fabricator coordination, installation planning and on-site delivery. I resolved form, materiality, finishes, tolerances and sequencing across every element.
Delivery challenge: protecting a strong sculptural concept inside an operational venue and a tight programme. I balanced structural rigour, spatial constraints and manufacturing realities to deliver the work as intended.
