LOCATION: A-Shed, Victoria Quay, Fremantle Harbour, Western Australia
PROJECT TYPE/SERVICES: Concept Sketch Visual
CLIENT: Gage Roads Beer Co. & Finespun Architecture
The Western Australian Government wanted a transformative project to revitalize the run-down, nearly 100 year old A-shed on Victoria Quay at Fremantle Harbour.
Inspired by loose concept sketch ideas from Finespun Architecture & Gage Roads Beer Co., the vision sketch produced within a tight deadline and budget, ultimately helped Gage Roads win the project ahead of several other competing teams.
Gage Roads required the single image to capture and express their vision of a large successful, family friendly hospitality venue showcasing it’s harbourside location and maritime history.
Well recognised landmark features such as the WA Maritime Museum (behind) and tall ship (The STS Leeuwin ll) along with a local dolphin pod, cleverly wove a compelling story demonstrating the power of a hybrid traditional/digital rendering technique vs the more ubiquitous photorealism.
Technique: Modelled in SketchUp and post edited in Photoshop using a Wacom Tablet.
LOCATION: Rottnest Island Lodge, Rottnest Island, Western Australia
PROJECT TYPE/SERVICES: Concept Sketch Visual
CLIENT: Place Development
This evocative aerial view sketch helped Place Development Australia win the project in a shortlist of six respondents.
The proposed revamp will include a wellness day spa, restaurant, hotel, beach lounge and new pool. It will replace the existing Rottnest Island Lodge site, currently trading as Karma Resort and will cost $40 million.
The 94-room hotel is expected to become the new “heart” of the island and will add new buildings while upgrading the existing complex.
Place Development director Robert Bates-Smith said the new low impact, light-touch redevelopment would be a “welcoming and inclusive resort” that paid respects to the island’s Indigenous significance.

PROJECT TYPE/SERVICES: Concept Sketch Visuals
CLIENT: Trinity Residential College
Sheltered Media worked in collaboration with Nicola Gibson Architect to provide two compelling 3D sketch images to help communicate a proposed major upgrade to the multi-storey residential student accommodation buildings originally constructed in the 1970's.
Production of the images required an on-site visit with the architects. Suitable explanatory and panoramic photographs were taken and advice was provided on optimum viewpoints to visualise the proposal.
The existing buildings and proposed design modifications were accurately modelled in SketchUp as a basis for two panoramic sketch views involving photomontage techniques and Photoshop post editing.
Technique: Modelled in SketchUp and post edited in Photoshop using a Wacom Tablet.
Commissioned to produce a number of very loose built form concept sketches for the proposed Perth Convention Centre project before a site was even chosen, the sketches were intended to communicate the possible nature and scale of the future development which was eventually built on the Swan River Foreshore along Mounts Bay Road.

Inspiration has also been drawn from the softness and shapes of waves, surf, coastal dunes, hills and vegetation.
