Plasterer’s Dual Function Utility Knife
Design and undertake user research to establish market feasibility of a dual purpose knife targeted at handymen and professional plasterers.
While the final design resembles a regular utility knife it incorporates a number of additional features. Ergonomic issues including balance, surface texture and maximising grip strength have received particular attention. The knife body also conceals a chalkline and chalk reservoir. The retracting chalkline is capable of marking 3.6 metre lengths (the maximum length of a plasterboard sheet) while the clip en-ables single handed operation. A self retracting blade mechanism means the knife can be put straight back in the pocket or tool belt.

Paper Desk Lamp Design and create a task light made only from paper and make it as lightweight as pos-sible. The base must be capa-ble of clamping to a tabletop - it too will be made of paper.
Other constaints were that the arm needed to pivot from a point at its base and that the lamp housing was required to extend 450mm from the edge of the table. The challenge of making the arm of the light as light as possible resulted in my achieving a weight of just 9.6 grams. However, it was the clamp mecha-nism that really impressed. Made entirely of paper (laminated) and combining several principles of me-chanical advantage, I came to a tightly resolved design that clamped so firmly that it was almost immov-able.

Project Brief Process
Public Bin Enclosure Public street furniture is prone to abuse including graffiti, vandalism and fires. In this in-stance the brief calls for the inclusion of changable adver-tising panels.
Not only does the design satisfy all criteria for all stakeholders, it is ergonomically designed for users as well as taking into account OHS concerns for council staff. The design also looks at issues of possible en-trapment, the need not to touch the bin when depositing rubbish, prevention of water egress, discourag-ing wildlife access and ease of cleaning the enclosure. Advertising displays can be assembled off-site and changed without the need to move the bin. There are no external exposed fastenings improving the look and further reducing the likelihood of vandalism.

Desktop Computer Speak-ers
Design and detail a pair of self powered speakers to be used on a desktop.
The preciousness of desktop space can’t be underestimated here. In this design the sleek tower conceals a woofer at the base and a tweeter style speaker at the top to enhance audio quality. Power, Bass, Treble and Volume controls are actuated via touch sensors in the metalic bands that break the form. A cone defector is designed to direct the sound to the listener at ear-level. The top of the cone and the touch controls are lit when the speakers are powered up.

Project Brief Process
Reducing Public Urination in Kings Cross
Design a solution to help aleviate the issues associated with the influx of 30,000+revelers each Friday and Saturday night.
Through consultation with Police, Ambulance, Hospitals, Resident groups and Council combined with observation it became clear that the needs exceeded the willingness of the authorities to fix the problem. We suggested an interim solution involving the construction of trailer-based urinals and wayfinding solutions.The thrust of the proposal was that we could take care of the weekend revelers’ needs yet return Kings Cross to the residents during the week.
THE THIN YELLOW LINEHOW DO YOU HANDLE THE TOILETING NEEDS OF 30,000 WITH JUST THREE PUBLIC TOILETS?
OUR PROPOSAL SUGGESTS A STRATEGY TO BRING TOILETS TO THE AREA AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM.
To enhance the experience of visitors to Kings Cross, easy access to public toilets is essential.
The solutions we propose can be divided into two main areas. The provision of more toilets and its support partner, the provision of information services. The ratio of visitors to public toilets in the area makes this an immediate concern. The proposal includes ensuring the use of existing public toilets, potential to use other facilities and commissioning new permanent and mobile toilets.
Half the battle with using public toilets is in fi nding them. We propose a number of initiatives for dealing with this issue. We suggest improvements to the City of Sydney Council’s website. We also discussed the possibility of off ering a ‘Text-a-Toilet’ Service, improved street signage and patrols by ‘Cross Guides’ on the street. SituationSince the 1940s , ‘The Cross’ has attracted the fringe dwellers of our society. The anti-social. Prostitutes, drug addicts, the homeless and ‘colourful Sydney identities’ all flock to the part of Sydney that doesn’t sleep. Recently the flavour has changed. Sleaze is making way for reckless fun.
Along with other antisocial behaviours, public urination has become a serious social and health issue.
With only one sign directing intoxicated men to three toilets located at the police station there is an understandable lack of commitment to using them. Many resort to finding a corner or wall against which they can relieve themselves.
Walk though any lane and you’ll see and smell urine tracks on the walls and footpaths. Police acknowledge that there is little alternative and tend to be tolerant of the behaviour. To fine someone would take up to three hours of an officer’s time while there are many more pressing duties. ConsiderationsThe major societal issue is that there is a tendency to increase population densities and attract more and more visitors while reducing essential services. There is little doubt that Kings Cross requires more public toilets but the construction of new toilet facilities is a process that could take two to three years and requires lengthy negotiations with resident groups and business owners. In any LGA
there would be significant concerns, in the high density Kings Cross area the issues are magnified. Project OutcomeOur proposed solution consists of the provision additional toilets and better information services. The first one includes improved utilisation of the toilets located at Fitzroy Gardens and suggests the possibility of recommissioning of the existing private facilities in King Cross Shopping Centre for public use through arrangement between owners and Council. There may be some physical security barriers required and the toilets would require security personnel on hand to oversee their use. In addition we offer two design concepts of trailer mounted temporary urinal facilities which require no plumbing (stored on board), no electrical connection (battery powered with solar support) and take up roughly the footprint of a car. They will be convenient, clean, safe, and private, and will incorporate technologies to enhance the experience and make it fun.
Stepping on the pressure pad located in front of the urinal bowl will illuminate the ‘engaged’ sign outside, extinguish the stair lighting and emit a dose
of water to the hand basin which also will reminds users to wash their hands afterwards and rinses the urinal bowl ready for use. Stepping off the pressure pad illuminates the stairs and changes the ‘engaged’ light to ‘vacant’.As a longer term solution we propose to construct an additional small (3-4 cubicle) automated toilet block with greater accessibility to the active hub at the north end of the Springfield pedestrian area as the preferred location.The information system can be improved in the following ways;- Providing links at Council website to updated toilet maps,- “Text-a-toilet” service based on immediate text back of the nearest public toilet based on the location from which message was sent,- Improved signage with extended information (open hours, distance) and, finally, - By establishing “The Cross Guides” – a mixed group of people who “dare to care” by patrolling the streets as a visible helpers who also will custodians of the toilets ensuring that anti-social behaviour is reduced therefore making them safer and cleaner for users and that the toilets presence in the community reinforces the Cross Guides awareness.

We also address the issues of finding a toilet in an unfamiliar location.

Project Brief Process
Improvements to Solar Panel Efficiencies
Combine the principles of na-no-nipples in the production of high efficiency thin film photovoltaics.
The structure of a moths eye reveals a tightly packed array of small nipples in the order of 250 nanometres diameter. This array makes the eye non-reflective - a benefit to its survival. The same array is seen on the Greta Oto butterfly’s wings, only now this nano-textured surface is both non-relective and virtually 100% transmissive of light. My investigation led me to consider how this may be of use in the photovoltaics in-dustry. I then consisdered how we could integrate these improved, flexible panels into the buildiing fabric. Using ETFE sheet as the basis, I reason that we can imprint or emboss this nanotexture onto the outer sur-face of the material while printing the PV metaliasation to the inside skin. The result - a lightweight, self-cleaning, building fabric that generates power longer throughout the day. I estimate that the improve-ment in efficiency (over glass panel PVs) is in the order of 12-15% however, the real benefit is that we’ll be able to generate power from every face of the building not just the north, as is traditionally used.
Ornamental Ironwork
Lee Wynyard 0400 471133
A selection of blacksmithing projects I’ve made. These pieces demonstrate nearly all blacksmithing techniques in use. All are made with traditional tools and methods and most pieces have not been treated or have minimal oiled coatings to preserve their handmade appearance.
Its hard and hot, but rewarding work and I feel priveleged to have been able to spend those years making things in a way that is now all but forgotten.

House renovation – Northbridge
Replace a tired redbrick street face to givea contemporary look adding new entry foyer and staircase, double garage and storage with internal access to the house.
The house was built in 1959 but incorporated some modern features including sliding aluminium doors and windows and a gorgeous curved china display case floating underneath the airflow ceilings. I worked closely with an architect to design the treatment that integrated these elements and met the practical re-quirements as well as incorporating provision for an additional level. I also supervised construction during the build.
Project Brief Process
Renovation – Crows Nest Replace lean-to kitchen and bathroom with new kitchen, dining room, bathroom, addi-tional toilet, laundry, carpark-ing and terrace in footprint less than 60 sq metres.
This was always going to be tight, but I was determined that it could be done. I designed the new ele-ments and used a draftsman to produce the plans for council. By excavating the bathrooms and laundry and using every inch of building envelope we managed to achieve a successful resolution. All aspects of the work were completed under a owner builders licence by me and a couple of handy friends. The lesson here – never take on roof construction again.
Project Brief Process
Unit Block Development -Croydon Park
Select, secure and refurbish a small block of 6 x 2 bedroom units and strata subdivide for individual sale.
The selection process was made a little easier due to the restriction of finance. I found the process of ne-gotiating the strata through the SEPP10 provisions very interesting. A DA was approved for larger balco-nies, garaging for all vehicles and the conversion of some units to three bedrooms. The three bedroom units sold for $120k more that the two-bed units. All units sold for area record prices turning this into a very profitable venture.
Project Brief Process
Flooring – Cooranbong Find a durable flooring solu-tion to integrate the new din-ing, living and family areas after walls removed. The chal-lenge is that there are three different floor types and lev-els.
I wanted something that felt soft under foot and would work equally well during the very cold winters and stifling summers of this farmhouse. Cost was also a factor. I chose marine-grade hoop pine ply but elect-ed to cut the sheets into 600x600mm pieces. To secure the pieces to the sub floor I recessed each corner to accommodate the thickness of a 30mm diameter washer and used a countersunk screw. I put a small chamfer on each edge to disguise any small discrepancies in board height. Each board was given three coats of polyurethane before installation.
