Tim started out in architecture in 1976 and has never looked back. After graduating from a six-year architecture degree at the University of Cape Town, he moved to England and spent five years working as a project architect in London’s West End.

While designing schools and medium density housing, he learnt how to hold his own with all manner of clients, including an imposing school bursar, who used to delight in needling him with questions like “what’s the difference between a footing and a foundation?!”

Tim migrated to Australia in 1983 and continued his architectural career, designing the campus headquarters of the Catholic University in North Sydney and working as a project architect for Geoffrey Twibill and Associates.

A natural communicator, Bill has long spoken the language of design and construction.

After earning his builders licence in 1978 he worked as an independent contractor, winning work by tendering for jobs run by architects. He worked in harmony with 26 different architects, translating their design concepts into bricks and mortar.

The son of a stonemason/bricklayer, Bill grew up in Avalon in Sydney’s northern beaches. His first job was in administration and accountancy, but it was not long before he started following in his father’s footsteps – overseeing the renovations of residential units for a real estate agency. It was from here he began working with a multitude of trades and architects and first developed important organisational and communication skills.

Cam has no shortage of design accolades to his name. Graduating with a Masters of Architecture, Honours Class 1, from the University of Newcastle in 2015, his final architectural project received the Australian Institutes of Architects 2015 NSW Design Medal Commendation. He has since been awarded a prestigious architecture travel bursary.

His experience with Add-Style has given him a solid grounding in real world design and he enjoys the intricacies that come with creating designs that are both functional and aesthetic.

Give Cam a problem to solve like designing a complicated staircase or sorting out an on-site design issue and he is at his happiest!

There’s over 100 home additions in the northern beaches that Marcus has designed.

In his 11 years with Add-Style, Marcus has helped many clients on their journey from design conception through to construction. While completing a Masters of Architecture, Bachelor of Design in Architecture and Diploma of Architectural Technology at the University of Technology, he started at Add-Style as an office junior and worked his way up to lead designer.

Clients first meet Marcus to discuss the brief for their build and they continue to liaise throughout the build as Marcus oversees design resolutions throughout all phases of construction.

The phone starts ringing hot for Jay at 6.30am when the building crews arrives on site.

It’s his job to manage and trouble-shoot issues during the construction process, including scheduling trades and meeting with clients once the build has begun.

He has been with Add-Style since completing school in 2002, starting out as an apprentice carpenter and progressing to Construction Manager. It’s a role that keeps him extraordinarily busy and it’s safe to say that you won’t ever catch Jay sitting still.

As the daughter of Director and Architect Tim Hookins, Tullia had many opportunities to explore buildings under construction as she grew up on the Northern Beaches and North Shore. These visits instilled in her a passion for architecture, the environment and design.

Tullia studied Interior Design at Enmore Design College, graduating in 2010 with a Diploma in Interior Design and Decorating. At Enmore she explored the world of interior styling, design and production of drawings and projects in commercial and residential arenas.

In 2016 Tullia commenced at Add-Style working direct with clients to create exterior colour schemes for their additions. She is able to show her clients many different options using Add-Style’s very realistic computer rendering programs.

Tullia has extended her skills since 2019 to producing architectural plans for lodgement at Council and also doing much of the administrative work involved in producing Planning approvals. She may well follow in the footsteps of her father in the field of architecture.
