North West Creative, Penguin, AU, Designer / Director

north west creative is an innovative, and creative, building and architectural design company on the north west coast of Tasmania. It is the brainchild of Tory Puglisi, a graduate architect (with first class honours) and experienced building designer.

One of the ideas underpinning north west creative is that through considered design of the built environment, a whole range of better lifestyle outcomes can be achieved, be they family, business productivity, environmental quality, entertainment, or any other aspect of living and interacting that requires a constructed solution. The scope of this idea applies as much to the individual or family as it does to the broader community.
