He says that’s the kind of relationship they aim to forge with every client, and that it was a big part of why they were able to create such a successful outcome. SEIZING OPPORTUNITIES Moving forward, Brown Falconer aims to continue designing projects of award-winning calibre – in the aged care sector and elsewhere. “We’ve got a very strong commitment to the work that we do in our traditional areas of health, aged care and education,” Preece says. “With good design outcomes, we really have the opportunity to make a difference to the quality of life of the residents in the aged care homes, the patients in the hospitals, and the students that attend schools.” “We can also make a difference to the staff of those buildings, and even to the wider communities that come to visit,” he adds. “We’re all really passionate about that. But the same passion follows through into our other work – like our retail work, and our infrastructure work.” In the near future, Preece sees Brown Falconer progressing to designing town centres and streetscapes. “The opportunity to provide good design outcomes for those environments is there in those sectors as well,” he says. “And we want to seize that opportunity.” SA Water NSISP Gilberton
