This project reimagines two significant civic buildings in Bondi Junction, unifying them through a refined strategy of adaptive reuse and public interface. Designed by Archer Office, it balances heritage sensitivity with contemporary programmatic clarity—employing a disciplined material palette and calibrated spatial sequencing to foster openness, access and civic continuity. The project was awarded Public Architecture and Sustainable Architecture at the 2025 NSW Architecture Awards, and shortlisted in Interior Architecture and Urban Design.

Located in Mosman Park, this project consolidates sporting and community functions beneath a singular pitched roof that references the form of earlier pavilions on the site. A robust concrete plinth anchors the structure, while the broad, centrally supported canopy provides a generous civic gesture—simultaneously sheltering and formalising its context. The project received a Public Architecture award at the 2025 NSW Architecture Awards, and was shortlisted in the Sustainable Architecture category.

Eleven Barrack by the Bentley Group occupies a heritage-listed former bank in Sydney’s CBD, reimagined through a refined collaboration between H&E Architects and Pascale Gomes-McNabb Design. This adaptive reuse project retains the gravitas of the original sandstone structure—its soaring ceilings, marble columns, and civic scale—while introducing a contemporary material palette and a layered, atmospheric interior. Bespoke silk lanterns by Moya Delany hover in the dramatic volume, creating a moody vertical rhythm that contrasts with the solidity of the existing fabric. The design negotiates heritage and innovation with restraint, turning a once-institutional space into an intimate, elevated dining environment. Eleven Barrack exemplifies how adaptive reuse can respectfully transform historic architecture into vibrant, sensory public space without compromising its legacy.

Channeling the urban grit and sophistication of New York, Chicago and London, this five-level home in Double Bay is defined by its expressive materiality—off-form concrete, exposed steel, and American black walnut. Designed by Matthew Woodward Architecture with interiors by Esoteriko, the project balances structural clarity with warmth. Set on a steep 18-metre fall, the form cascades with the terrain, capturing city views and northern light. The result is a highly personal home shaped by site, collaboration, and the spirit of big-city life.

Published in The Guardian and exhibited at Hamiltons Gallery, London, Blaze extends Fredericks’ long engagement with elemental landscapes, following earlier works in the salt pans of Lake Eyre and the ice fields of Greenland. The series introduces fire as both subject and symbol—drawing attention to the ecological trauma of the Menindee Lakes system in western NSW. Each image captures a fleeting fire sculpture, created using carefully controlled, non-destructive pyrotechnic methods that left the trees and environment unharmed. The series continues Fredericks’ exploration of space, perception, and transformation—this time with fire rising directly from the water.
