Defence
Defence is a dynamic, challenging and technically complex sector. Fortunately, our designers enjoy solving difficult problems.
Kevin Leek
There is a responsibility when designing spaces to ensure an openness to possibility and a conscious effort to avoid preconceived outcomes. The design process should be iterative yet focused, with a perceptible thread of thoughtfulness.
Kevin is an architect with more than three decades of local and international experience. He has strong project delivery skills, which range from the conceptual design phase to architectural detailing. All projects are undertaken with thoughtful and overarching design intent ensuring the end product responds to the market and brief. He understands the practical aspects of construction, implementation and maintenance of design in relation to quality and cost control. Kevin has a proven ability in the day-to-day running of projects, including client and stakeholder interface and coordination with the consultant team.
