Poppy Bevan Design Studio

I am a recent Masters of Architecture graduate from the University of Newcastle, Australia. I graduated with First Class Honours, received the Dean's Medal and was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects, NSW Chapter, Masters of Architecture Graduate of the Year prize. In 2010, I also received the Eric Parker Travelling Scholarship encouraging the research and drawing of architecture. I am an independent, motivated, and passionate designer with a deep appreciation for carefully considered, conceptually-based architecture. I have a particular interest in developing built works, landscape and interiors as inherently interlinked design elements, which should be equally considered as part of a cohesive and inclusive design process. At the heart of this approach lie each project’s theoretical and conceptual underpinnings. These, alongside the thorough and detailed analysis of site and client requirements, as well as construction constraints and possibilities, define a heavily considered and complete design resolution. Drawing is a tool I rely on heavily throughout the design process, both as a means of developing and communicating design, and is a skill which I hope to continue to develop throughout my career.
