Riley Watts
Junior Draftsperson
Riley brings a unique appreciation for both classic and modern styles to the Virtue Homes Design Team, with a soft spot for mid-century modern design. Riley believes that good design is a result of meticulous attention to detail, a thorough understanding of context, and a dedication to understanding client needs and vision, ultimately translating these factors into a home.
With a love for all things art, architecture and design, Riley was recently awarded as the highest performing graduate of his cohort, having completed an Advanced Diploma of Building Design (Architectural).
Outside of design and drafting, Riley enjoys travelling, photography, and spending time with friends and family.
“I have always had a passion for nature and exploring new places. Design, in a way, is the same to me. It’s about creating new places, exploring new materials and forms. Living in Gippsland, we’re blessed with breathtaking scenery that continually informs and inspires my design approach.”
