In the Australian subtropics, high rainfall, warm weather and humidity present unique challenges and opportunities for the architects tasked with designing eco-sensitive projects. The James Street Market utilises climate-responsive design to increase energy efficiency and reduce associated environmental impacts.
Completed in 2002, it stands out as a leading example of climate-responsive retail design.

Practice
Managing a successful architectural practice requires more than simply having clients. Success will depend on your recognition that a successful architectural practice requires all of the same skills that any business of a similar size would require. While you will be able to develop many of these skills some aspects of success will depend on the contribution of other professionals such as accountants and lawyers.
