Wesley Shaw

Associate, Architect

Wesley brings a background of managing the design, documentation and delivery of projects developed over 30 years’ experience working on large, complex projects.

Wesley is a keen collaborator, working within design oriented teams that are integrated with clients, consultants and stakeholders to deliver projects that are timely in their delivery and functional in their outcome.

His ability to envisage the building as a whole – from the spaces created to the finer grain detail – continually delivers well thought of and considered results. He takes a pragmatic approach from detailed design through to contract administration to develop a design, make it work and get the project built.

Within the studio, Wesley mentors the wider studio team in the development of design processes that incorporate Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) principles and innovations relative to the Queensland climate.

recent projects

Brisbane International Cruise Terminal

Arkhefield in collaboration with Arup creates a design for the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal that is focused on the efficient movement of passengers from kerbside to ship, with an emphasis on positive customer experiences during both embarkation and disembarkation.

Smith Collective

The Smith Collective is a landmark precinct and represents Queensland’s largest multi-residential project ever undertaken in a single stage. The design by joint venture group AAA – Arkhefield, ARM and Archipelago with Lat27 – for Grocon brings together hinterland and coastline to capture the essence of the subtropical climate emblematic of the Gold Coast.

Brisbane International Airport Retail Upgrade

The vision of Brisbane Airport Corporation is “to be world-best and the preferred choice for passengers, airlines, business and the community”. Arkhefield, in collaboration with Richards & Spence, were chosen to extend this inspirational vision to a major upgrade of the retail component at Brisbane International Airport—a considerable undertaking in scale and scope.

Smith Collective Master Plan

The 7.1ha site began as Parklands – the official Athletes Village for the 2018 Commonwealth Games – and transitioned to the build-to-rent scheme now known as the Smith Collective, housing approximately 2500 residents.
