Significant and awarded projects the practice has completed include the Port Pirie Regional Tourism and Arts Centre (the office's first major commission), the Mildura and District Education Council (2007) and the Seymour College Performing Arts Centre (2009). Key collaborations the practice have been involved in include the widely recognised Marion Cultural Centre (2001), with ARM Architecture, the University Of Adelaide Plant Accelerator, 2009 with H2o Architects and the Jeffrey Smart Building with John Wardle Architects (2014).
