Oka Teppanyaki, proudly designed by our talented Darwin team is now open in Parap Village.

This sensational new restaurant draws inspiration from a traditional Japanese palette, providing Darwin with a unique dining experience.

The aim for the design of OKA Teppanyaki was to design a contemporary restaurant drawing inspiration from a traditional Japanese palette with an emphasis on nature. A 3D contoured feature wall gives a sense of life and a backdrop in front of which the Teppanyaki chefs can put on their show. Clean white ceilings contrast darker environmentally friendly Jarrah timber flooring and a full glass shopfront with maximised ceiling heights create light and spaciousness.

On the 19th of March Hodgkison hosted an intimate Client gathering at our Adelaide office to celebrate 25 years of architectural and service excellence.

The evening was a great success, paying tribute to all of the special people who have built Hodgkison into the successful, client-centred architectural practice it is today.  A big thank you to everyone who came along and celebrated with us.

The Hodgkison Team thanks each and every Client and Industry Partner for the loyalty and support that has enabled us to reach this brilliant milestone.

Hodgkison continues its support of student excellence through the annual UniSA Hodgkison Prize in Architecture. The 2014 prize was awarded to Waleed Moughraby at the University of South Australia Student Prize Ceremony held in December.

Waleed’s design for a Hospice, Plant Science Research Centre and Public Retreat within Sydney Harbour utilises architecture to address the elemental relationship between people and their environment. Anchored on Sharks Island, the building’s “presence” as a landscaped platform within the harbour creates an extension of the island’s topography whilst retaining much of the island in its delicate natural state.We congratulate Waleed on an exceptional design scheme demonstrating strong integration of technical and environmental elements.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our valued Clients and Industry Partners a Happy New Year and all the very best for 2015.

An inspiring project involving the master planning, design and development of a new two storey facility comprising of a Performing Arts Centre including Recital Hall, Music Suite, Dance Studio, Music Laboratories, Recording Suite, Practice Rooms, Change Rooms, General Learning Areas, Staff Room and a covered Verandah on each level.

Our aim was to create stimulating learning spaces with the application of bold colours and the use of innovative material treatments, Varying colour palettes were used to create individual identities for the interior spaces and to stimulate visual thinking, problem solving and creativity.

The client is delighted with the outcome. “The project was finished ahead of time and under the budget, providing exceptional learning spaces that are greatly appreciated by the staff and students.” Mr Marcel Rijken, Principal

NAASA Inc opens its brand new two storey extension at Rembrandt Court, Oaklands Park SA.  Hodgkison is proud to have provided the architectural, project management and interior design services for this project, integrating the existing and new building with an open common room space and café for residents and their families.  31 new resident places were delivered with shared living and communal spaces on each level of the residential wing.  Courtyards and a balcony provide external amenity for residents and large bay windows fill rooms with natural light.  The development also included a full commercial kitchen refurbishment and upgrade to the administration area.

Constructing the new building within a fully operational facility was a challenge that was overcome with meticulous planning and coordination.  A wonderful example of partnership between client, consultants and the construction team.

“We are in our second project with Hodgkison and I honestly can’t fault them.  The most important things to me are efficiency and communication.  Whenever I call Hodgkison they always ring back”   Linda Trevaskis, CEO NAASA
