Frank has designed buildings, products and masterplans for leading organisations in Australia and abroad, strategically integrating their organisational goals with ecological thinking to deliver outcomes that are zero-waste, carbon-sequestering, habitat creating and provide myriad cascading benefits to the community and environment.
Frank's current work is at the intersection of biomaterial research & development, innovation in construction technology and ecological design.
The way we build today shapes how people will live, work, learn and play tomorrow. Let's build a world where all forms of life flourish.
