Matt Bradley Designs

Building Design is as much a science as it is an art. It responds to our natural/man-made surroundings and communicates through our senses. It combines all the elements of life, of people and cultures to create delightful experiences and enhances our quality of life. I’m extremely passionate for building design and have immersed myself in science and art to strengthen my design process. An understanding of Geology has increased my comprehension of the natural world, the processes that have contributed in shaping the landscape and the resources we extract to build the structures around us. Physics has helped me visualise the interaction of forces moving through a structure and how design can better influence this. Photography has given me a fresh perspective on the subtle everyday interactions between people and the built environment. Firsthand experience working with timber and metal has strengthen my understanding of material properties and general construction techniques. In order to deliver a successful design, one must understand every aspect that goes into shaping a building, how all the building systems work together and most importantly, the people we are designing for.
