Oka Tepinyaki Restaurant Darwin Design by Hodgkison Architects

Hodgkison restaurant design features in Darwin Life Magazine

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.

UniSA Hodgkison Prize in Architecture

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.

Philip Nayda

A Special Tribute to Philip Nayda

We pay tribute to Philip Nayda, Co-founder and Director of Hodgkison.

With his passing on 30 August 2014, Hodgkison lost a respected director, colleague and friend and the Architectural Profession lost an innovative leader and a true gentleman. Directors and staff offer our deepest condolences to Philip’s family and close friends.

Philip leaves an indelible mark on the Architectural Profession and the construction industry in general. He had an extraordinary ability to manage, innovate and apply strategic skills and vision. He had a heart for the community and a passion for service and will be sadly missed by staff, clients and industry colleagues.

Rest in peace, Philip, your proud legacy will live on.

NAASA Rembandt Living Rembrandt Court Design by Hodgkison Adelaide Architects

NAASA Inc Dutch Aged Care

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
