Company Profile Christine Vadasz was born in Budapest, Hungary and graduated in architecture from the University of Adelaide in 1971. She commenced private practice in 1974 when she located to the coastal town of Byron Bay on the far north coast of the state of New South Wales, Australia. A keen surfer and holding a life long fascination with coastal environments and particularly with shoreline marine life, at the time seemed to her as if Byron Bay was the place where a true merging of architecture and ecology could occur. Her ideas on environmental design have developed through her work and practice during the past three decades, concentrating mainly on low-rise residential and low key environmental sustainable tourist projects. Her best known example of this type of developmemt is the Bedarra Bay Resort on Bedarra Island off the North Queensland coast completed in 1987 and which earned the practice significant recognition including a number of architectural awards. During the past two decades, Ms. Vadasz has been guest lecturer on environmental design at the major Australian architectural schools and at various Institute conferences.
