Networking Event
Adaptive Reuse, Heritage & Contemporary Design
Presented by Sean McPeake – fjcstudio
Monday 24th November
End of year November sparkle-Starchitect.
SPUN Architects network présents fjcstudio discussing Adaptive Reuse, Heritage & Contemporary Design.
Join us for an evening at SPUN, where fjcstudio will share insights into a selection of current and completed projects exploring the intersection between adaptive reuse, heritage conservation, and contemporary architecture.
Through these works, we demonstrate how Australian and international heritage buildings can be reimagined and extended for modern use, while preserving their cultural and architectural significance.
Discover how thoughtful design can bridge past and present — showcasing innovative contemporary interventions that respect, enhance, and revive our built heritage.
We look forward to seeing you at the Roseville golf club for what will be an evening of reflection, insights and celebration. As it is SPUN 2025 end-of-the-year celebration, you will be treated to a glass of champagne on arrival, with the Christmas pudding as dessert.
On the night, we will also share update regarding our SPUN Student Internship Sponsorship Initiative.
Thanks to your ongoing support, the scholarship program aimed at fostering the next generation of talented architects will be up and running next year.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sean McPeake
Sean is a Principal at fjcstudio, a multi-disciplinary design studio recognised for its commitment to design excellence, innovation, sustainability, reconciliation, and the enhancement of the public domain. As Head of Architecture in the Sydney studio, he leads complex projects across a range of scales and typologies, including those that explore how contemporary design can sensitively transform and extend the life of existing buildings.
He played a key role in the adaptive reuse of Sub Station No. 164 in Sydney. This award-winning commercial office project retained the former substation’s industrial Machine Hall as a cultural events space with its vast 12-metre-high ceilings. The project exemplifies Sean’s interest in how heritage, sustainability, and modern design can coexist to create enduring and meaningful architecture.
