Keith’s experience is in tourism and public architecture across Tasmania and Victoria, where he has developed a strong interest in designing spaces that shape how people experience landscapes and places.The name Up to Something reflects their curiosity and outlook on life; always exploring, discovering and creating. Outside the studio, they share a love of hiking, surfing, sailing and the arts.Alongside their architecture practice, Keith and Maddie also run Cloudstone AiR (Artist in Residency), an artist residency at their property in the hills of Mangalore outside Hobart.
