His work is focused on economising the earth's resources and he suggests that to be sustainable in architecture we must exercise frugality. He uses sensitive and innovative design principles and building techniques, frugality in usage of energy and building materials. He uses, by choice, local and indigenous renewable building materials that are easily accessible and re-useable. The University of Tasmania recently awarded Jimmy with an Honorary Doctorate in recognition of his contribution to sustainable architecture.
