Completing his Master in Architecture in 2021 and his Bachelor of Architectural Design in 2017 from the University of Queensland, Ivan remains active in both practice and academia. His cross-cultural heritage and upbringing informs the way he approaches architecture and design.

Practising overseas prior to joining KO&Co Architecture where he worked on various high-profile casino and integrated resort developments, Ivan brings his experience of project coordination and keen eye for interior design.

At KO&Co Architecture, Ivan is involved with a range of projects from small commercial tenancy fitouts to multi-residential projects. He values the social aspects of architecture; exploring the potential of the built environment as rich repositories of choreographies and stories of spaces and places.

Ida Haendel or Mitsuko Uchida - two extraordinary talents and characters.

You would also find me trying restaurants around the city.
