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.

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

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.
