From the shiny potential within each new venue design, to the simple pleasure of a smiling guest, Becci is passionate about Hospitality. With her dream venture fusing chocolate and dogs not yet resolved, Becci relies on her self-proclaimed skill as a ‘human barometer’ in her design approach. A particular curiosity for the un-tangible workings of hospitality spaces & the interactions that fill them. From this, a balance of comfort vs friction drive Becci to consider a hospitality venue from multiple perspectives – what can we push to enhance and delight? For the fresh expectant eyes of a new guest to the hardworking team that delivers the critical service dimension, a constant mystery to be thoughtfully solved, best done over some dark chocolate and puppy pats.

Jet believes that a building, like a work of art, can have a profound impact on the human consciousness. For Jet, the bold communication of a message is fundamental to the discipline of architecture, whether it be in a design gesture, construction detail, or socio-political testimony. Jet tackles each brief with perspicacity, irreverence and grit. His experience at the practice lends him a comprehensive understanding of the myriad parameters involved in bringing buildings to life. Jet’s practice is fundamentally interwoven with both material and technological investigation, to extract digital and analogue production beyond familiar territories. Jet was a recipient of the Hezlet Bequest, representing the University of Sydney at the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture as part of the Master of Architecture program.
