About Me

My photo
is based in Byron Bay, NSW, with projects undertaken, not only in this region, but also from North Queensland to Melbourne and Perth in Australia and over seas including UK and Asia. The principal and nominated architect, Mark Smith AIA reg 5574 NSW + reg 2094 Qld, utilises experience gained from employment with various sized firms and with enthusiasm creates architecture and graphics that delights and surprises, with its depth of character. Mark has worked in the region for over 20 years and has received an award from the Australian Institute of Architects for the Byron Bay Youth Activities Centre. Our motif is taken from the wave-like frieze known as 'running dog' and also incorporates a stylised image of our dog. We value an environmentally sensitive approach to our every-day landscape and we instill our designs with the sense of fun and the rich character of each location. The use of a rich palette of colours, textures and forms reflects the joy-de-vivre and cultural depth of our lifestyles. Our personal and professional service can be relied upon to complete your project to your best satisfaction. Also look at www.facebook.com/RunningDogDesign
