He completed his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Sydney after which he worked locally with architects Harry Seidler and Glenn Murcutt.

Barrett then worked on the LA Getty Museum with Richard Meier and Michael Palladino as the only Australian on the team. On returning to Australia he set up Barrett Pinet Architecture with Danielle Pinet. Barrett is also an artist and the influence of Richard Meier can be seen in the use of “geometric shapes, minimal decoration and simple, functional forms” in his paintings (Barrett 2008 pers.comm). Barrett’s drawings and paintings were exhibited in the Mary Place Gallery exhibition 'In the soul of the architect’ in 2005. Writers: Qiao, Liming Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011
