Patrick is the Founding Director at Dadirri Architects.
Dadirri specialises in helping homeowners and small developers turn tricky sites and ambitious sustainability goals into beautifully resolved, NCC-compliant projects – from town planning through to construction. The studio is known for elegant, buildable design and for navigating councils and consultants smoothly so clients can move from idea to approval with confidence.

With a background working at renowned architecture firms both locally and internationally, Patrick brings a rare mix of creativity and pragmatism. He’s as comfortable discussing biophilic design and hempcrete as he is interpreting the NCC and Australian Standards or negotiating planning overlays. Clients value his clear communication, budget realism, and meticulous documentation that builders actually enjoy using. Recent highlights include town-planning approval for a hempcrete townhouse in Parkville and concept-to-construction guidance on regionally responsive homes such as “Two Barns”.

Patrick’s philosophy is simple: good architecture should look great, be sustainable, and be easy to build. He partners closely with clients, coordinating a trusted network of surveyors, engineers and specialist consultants to deliver outcomes that are sustainable, compliant and genuinely great to live in.
