Welcome Sam!

Sam completed his Bachelor of Architecture at Griffith University, and his Masters of Architecture from the Abedian School of Architecture at Bond University.
Outside of work, Sam can be found working on AJAR … a zine which explores themes of art, design, the built environment, and cultural discourse with a focus on regional reflection of creatives practicing on Kombumerri & Bundjalung country.AJAR:
Our SAP
Reddog SAP (Sustainability Action Plan)
At Reddog Architects, we are committed to creating sustainable solutions for our practice and for all our designs. We have prepared our SAP (Sustainability Action Plan) to support and guide our practices in this area. As signatories to the Architects Declare movement, we are proudly working to investigate and implement the ten sustainability principles into our practice. In addition to the ten principles, we are committed to becoming more educated about how we can better understand and embrace Indigenous Design Principles.
We have committed to reviewing and reflecting on our actions outlined in this SAP on an annual basis.
The Architects Declare movement provides a frame work of progress as measured against the goals of the movement. We believe, in the majority of areas, we are meeting the ‘extend’ level of sustainability in our operations. As we continuously strive to ensure our operations and our projects align with the principles, we are aiming to meet the criteria for the ‘amplify’ category by the end of 2023.
Congratulations Simon, Jess and Linton

Congratulations Jacob!
We are proud to introduce our recently Registered Architect – Jacob Baker! After all his hard work and commitment to the profession he has passed all the necessary exams and interviews to now call himself an architect. Since joining Reddog in 2019, Jacob has contributed immensely to the culture of the office and been a great mentor to our students. We acknowledge his contribution on many projects but most notably The Shoreline Aged Care development in Coffs Harbour, whereby he has been involved from inception to practical completion. We look forward to him being the future of Reddog.

Beautiful blue skies and the family home on school holidays made it a perfect day for Alanna McTiernan to capture the project.

Sustainability Strategies part 5
Sustainability is important to everyone at Reddog. We firmly believe that our environment is fragile and now is the time to solve some of sustainability challenges that face us all.
To help communicate how we can all make a difference, we have created (and continue to create) a series of articles introducing and discussing how sustainability can be achieved in architecture.
Part 5 of our series on sustainability strategies looks at concrete and brick as materials choices.
Sustainability in Action
CHAC D Block
Working in conjunction with the College’s masterplan, the new building is a high-profile location for the campus and forms a critical connection for the linear journey from Prep to Year 12.
NA House
This Brisbane residential project emerged from the optimistic approach of a young couple whose Fairfield home was severely damaged in the 2011 Queensland Floods. The owners were determined to find a greater opportunity in the renovation process than a generic raise and restore approach would afford them.
