commissions. his natural aptitude for this role and dedication to it was recognised shortly

thereafter with his promotion to director of design. david was instrumental in the growth

of the practice, providing leadership and developing long standing relationships across a

large client base. the experienced gained was invaluable in his decision to take the next

glenn’s career as an architect started in Sydney working on medium to large sized

commercial and residential projects and the conceptual design of commercial, retail,

hospitality and residential projects in Asia. glenn headed numerous design teams charged

with exploring development feasibility of many projects including mixed-use master

planning schemes and urban renewal developments.

glenn co-founded SDA International Architects in 1997. glenn was responsible for the design,

documentation and administration of many residential commissions ranging in scale from

large luxury dwelling houses to medium and hi multi-unit developments.

economic and political context underlying all development projects, making him the highly

effective architect he is today.

BROOKFIELD PLACE commercial

MARRICKVILLE, NSW.

CLIENT: johnson bourke / bma group holdingsCOST: 2.5 millionSTATUS: completed 2014

located on the eastern doorstep of Henson Park in Marrickville is this urban infill, multi residential development

comprising 5 new row houses that replaces an old uncharacteristic factory building that originally served as a

local bakery before becoming a brass foundry for the last 65 years.

each new dwelling comprises 4 bedrooms with generous living areas with private courtyards to the rear and internal

courtyard allowing natural light and ventilation to penetrate the centre of each dwelling for optimal amenity.

the flavour of the architectural solution blends the lightness of a domestic style with materials that are

representative of the site’s manufacturing history. timber cladding is balanced against the resilience of recycled

brickwork and exposed off-form concrete surfaces to create a robust yet elegant living environment.
