Nicole de Lacy
Nurturing flexible and healthy teams is key to achieving successful project outcomes and improving the quality of our design and delivery – I’m proud to be a part of a company that prioritises this.
Architect Nicole de Lacy has fifteen years’ experience working on complex health facilities, defence projects, stadia and community-focused buildings. Her background resonates with her interest in making a lasting contribution to healthy and safe communities. Her leadership capability and excellence as a project architect is complemented by her ability to interpret design concepts into well-resolved, detailed documentation.
Health buildings often have complicated requirements; this is where Nicole’s advanced technical skills come to the fore, as she expertly resolves complex structural, sequencing and design challenges. Working on large-scale stadia and sporting facilities in the UK exposed Nicole to significant technical and logistic issues; experience that translates well to health, defence and community buildings.

St Joseph’s School Hectorville Learning Building
Completing Stage 3 of its master plan, the new general learning building is the first major two-storey development for St Joseph’s School Hectorville. The contemporary learning building fosters student engagement by promoting sociability, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
The new building provides eight modern learning areas, out-of-school hours care (OSHC) facilities, and allied health consulting rooms, catering to the school’s growing student population in the northeastern suburbs. The light-filled general learning areas are connected by a contemporary learning commons, offering various group spaces, quiet study areas, and media nooks tailored to the school’s pedagogy.
