Meet the dynamic duo out of Adelaide – Annelise Beck and Stephanie Pahl. These two talented grads bring some serious flair to the design table.

Annelise Beck holds a Masters degree in Architecture from the University of South Australia, and is all about diving headfirst into W-B’s People Architecture ethos. Her passion lies in harmonizing the natural and built environments and she’s keen on unraveling how various disciplines and individuals interact within these spaces.

Another alumna of the University of SA, Stephanie Pahl, brings a fresh perspective with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture and a background in health and paramedicine studies. She’s found a satisfying fusion of her diverse interests, channeling her enthusiasm into understanding the impacts of design disciplines on the end user, their experiences and overall quality of life.

Their distinctive perspectives and experiences offer a uniqe lens for those considering a similar path in the design and architecture world. We invite you to hear from our graduates and see what they got up to!

What do you enjoy most about the Graduate program at Woods Bagot so far?

Annelise: I’ve loved all the opportunities I’ve had to learn across different projects and discussions in studio. The diverse nature of training has allowed for an easy integration into professional work and support from studio and fellow graduates encourages me to continue developing my skills further.

Stephanie: The people I get to work with – I’ve learnt so much so quickly thus far in this program and it’s because my peers have all contributed in mentoring me and coaching my skills.

How has it been working with your project leader and team?

Annelise: Working alongside my team has allowed me to grow my understanding of architecture so much in such a short time. I really appreciate their understanding of the systems and processes behind what we do on an everyday basis. It’s been great being a part of a team that are willing to teach and mentor me through my graduate program.

Stephanie: It’s been great – my team has been very supportive generally of my progression and skill development. They have pushed me to get the most out of myself and helped me grow as a grad.

What has working on your project taught you?

Annelise: Over the course of the graduate program I’ve learnt a lot of efficiencies for using a range of digital and technical programs that I wish I had known while at university. 

Stephanie: I’ve developed my digital skills, including Revit, Enscape, Photoshop and InDesign. I have also really developed my detailing and my pragmatic understanding of construction and joinery techniques and finishes applications.
