Our Principal, James Lyon, is an architect registered with the Heritage Office of New South Wales and is available for all matters pertaining to heritage. We travel between Tweed Heads in the north, Port Macquarie in the south and Armidale in the west of the State. However, distance is not an issue.

Projects:
Student Services Centre
Lismore, NSW, 2009
This Student Services Centre is an addition to the existing facility. It comprises office accommodation, meeting spaces, student lounge areas, information and registration desks and a self-help area. The space is a multi-purpose area and is used as a small scale entertainment venue, an intimate function space or a casual meeting area. Dynamic use of colour and fabrics gives this facility a funky, youthful feeling. Extensive use of tinted, safety glass enables the facility to be bathed in natural light for the bulk of the day thus reducing the amount of energy used in illuminating and heating the space.
Nexus Centre
Ballina, NSW, 2004
This single-storey building is a multi-purpose facility for use by various mental health support groups. The Centre is used to assist clients to assimilate into society and regain a place in their local community.
