A New Healthcare Directive

Swanbury Penglase is pleased to announce that Matthew Raven has been appointed as a Director, joining Steve Penglase, Andrew Phillips, Elizabeth Swanbury, Wayne Grivell, Simon Best,  Andrew Klenke and Justin Carter in the leadership of the practice.

After graduating University in 1998 and working at a number of smaller practices, I came to Swanbury Penglase in July 2005 as a Graduate of Architecture.

My time at Swanbury Penglase has been an amazing journey and I have been very fortunate to have worked on a diverse array of challenging projects collaborating with clients, colleagues, consultants and others to deliver exceptional outcomes.

The opportunities provided to me, and faith shown in me by the Directors to bring my skills to these projects has been humbling. My decision to join Swanbury Penglase in 2005 has been life changing.

Amongst those many projects, three stand out in particular as being formative in achieving my professional goals both now and into the future:

– Tasman Medical Centre, Nexus

– M2 & The Plasso, Uni SA

– Health Innovation Building, Uni SA

Over a period of fifteen years, these projects have been fundamental in providing extensive experience and opportunities in Health & Laboratory design. These are sectors I am passionate about working in and enjoy the complex challenges of delivering these highly detailed projects that allow science to be the best it can be. Seeing what occurs in these spaces we create is truly inspirational.

As a Director, I look forward to leading our Health Team, working both locally and nationally, partnering with existing clients and expanding with new clients. The challenge to further build our Health Team, providing opportunities to expand skills and achieve professional goals will continue to motivate me to achieve success in this new role.

I thank the Directors and staff at Swanbury Penglase for their continued support and am excited by and look forward to the challenges ahead

From Graduate to Director

Swanbury Penglase is pleased to announce that Justin Carter has been appointed as a Director, joining Steve, Andrew P, Elizabeth, Wayne, Simon and Andrew K in the leadership of the practice.

Fittingly, Justin takes up this new role in the year that he celebrated his 20 year anniversary at Swanbury Penglase. This elevation is in recognition of his commitment to Swanbury Penglase and capabilities as an architect and leader.
 
On his appointment Justin says “I reflect gratefully on the opportunities and support Swanbury Penglase has given me to pursue and achieve my professional goals.
 
After taking a chance on me as a graduate straight out of university, Swanbury Penglase provided broad project experience and mentoring which allowed me to achieve my architectural registration, but more importantly, to develop the broad range of skills required to be a competent and professional architect. Throughout, Swanbury Penglase has assisted my development as a person and leader, most notably the opportunity to share in the management responsibility of the Melbourne Office and later by my appointment as Associate Director. Swanbury Penglase has instilled in me a commitment to high-quality client-focused design outcomes, an ethos that has led to many valued client relationships.
 
Having recently marked my 20-year anniversary with the firm, I am highly cognisant of the contribution that Swanbury Penglase and our clients have played in my development both professionally and personally. Thank you to the Directors, staff and clients, past and present, who have shared my journey from graduate to Director.
 
As Director, I look forward to supporting our next wave of graduates and developing professionals by providing mentorship and encouragement to achieve their professional goals”

 
The existing Directors welcome Justin to the group and are excited by the opportunities this presents for Justin to expand on his leadership role within the company and opportunities to build on his client relationships.
 
Justin works across a broad range of project sectors, providing services to government and private organisations, including education, commercial, tourism and recreation, retail and hospitality, multi-residential, aboriginal and community housing and land development.
