S Gorrell Architect
This local practice has involved 30 years of architectural and environmental design for tourism and landscape related projects in the wild and natural places of northern NSW: from the ocean edge up into the mountains and tablelands of New England. All work has respected the traditional historical forms of the area, integrating these with recent awareness of energy efficiency, natural ventilation and ecologically sustainable design. In all cases the approach has been to pay respect for and minimize interference with the historical forms and natural processes of the area, utilizing natural and durable materials in robust and practical structures.
