It has been an absolute pleasure to have designed this playground that is so important to the Mandurah community.

This gorgeous early learning centre is opening soon, with the most amazing owners. Such a pleasure to work with to create the final design.

I hope to share more photos with you soon.

You may have noticed something special taking shape at Castle Grounds…
We’re so excited to share that Castle Grounds is preparing to open as an early learning service, pending service approval. A space that has held a special place in the hearts of so many is entering a new chapter, one built around wonder, connection, imagination and childhood.
We are so excited to share that Castle Grounds will soon welcome families into a place designed for learning, play and belonging.
This is just the beginning, and we’re so glad to have you here for it.
