Having met with Melissa in late 2015 she immediately struck men as an exceptional Architect with a strong eye for detail. Melissa and I originally caught up for a "hypothetical chat" about the local job market and what options would be available for an individual at her level. We spent a great deal of time talking about the directions she was hoping to take her career and we both agreed that the team at Baldasso Cortese would make for a great fit moving forward. Dealing with Melissa was refreshing given her clear understanding of the directions she was hoping to take her career. At all stages of the recruitment process I felt Melissa coordinated herself in a very professional manner and I can happily say that the feedback on her progress in her new role has been nothing but positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Melissa in the future and would welcome the opportunity to discuss our dealings in more depth over the phone. I wish you all the very best in what I am sure will be a hugely successful career Melissa.

      Baldasso Cortese (fondly known as BC) is a customer driven architecture and interior design office located in Collingwood and specialises in educational space, residential, retail, healthcare, aged care and commercial projects. During my time it BC I had the opportunity to serve as project architect on a number of government and private school projects both in Victoria and Christchurch and both at primary and secondary school level. I have been involved in all phases of the design and construction process from master planning through to contract administration and have been involved in running and managing the delivery of the design teams as well as extensive exposure to stakeholder engagement and management.Apart from my usual day to day activities, I was also co-founder of BC book club (with a focus on personal and business development), walking group, participated in BC's Run4theKids charity event in 2017 and was nominated recipient of BC's 2017 award for staff development that recognizes the BC's five P's (professional, proactive, personable, progressive & passionate).

      "Paul Morgan Architects (PMA) has emerged as one of Australia's most innovative architectural practices. The practice specialises in educational design for universities and technical colleges and has also completed residential and urban design, master planning, commercial, government and library projects in Melbourne, regional Victoria and Asia.PMA’s design-led team takes a strategic and expressive approach, creating innovative projects for ambitious clients. Working with the client from inception to completion, [the director's] personal involvement in each project ensures results that meet the client's vision, whilst amplifying the brief's spatial and expressive potential.[PMA's] design processes result in space types such as ecology performance envelopes, spatial-acoustic environments and blended learning spaces that both embrace and inspire end users. PMA offers the skills to synthesise architectural design with environmental and sustainable design and through consultation with environmental engineers. These principles are integrated from the project beginning to end.PMA has been published extensively in Australia and abroad. In 2007 The Cape Schanck House was one of twenty projects nominated globally for the biennial Zumtobel Award, for outstanding sustainable contributions to architecture and humanity and was also the recipient of the RAIA Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture, Australia’s highest residential design accolade. The practice has exhibited widely and was recently included in the Australian Pavilion at the prestigious 2008 Venice Biennale of Architecture."
