Timothy Court's involvement in the equine industry began in 1980 with the design of William Inglis and Sons' Thoroughbred Selling Ring at Newmarket in Randwick whilst he was working with a large firm of Sydney based Architects.
In 1986 two years after the establishment of his private practice, Tim was awarded both State and National Restoration awards by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for the restoration of the Big Stable at Newmarket.
In 1987 the firm was listed by the Heritage Council of New South Wales as recommended Heritage Architects.

Newmarket Selling Centre
Following the success of the restoration project the firm was engaged to Masterplan the progressive upgrading of the entire Newmarket Complex at Randwick which covers more than 12 acres.
The Masterplan began with the redesign of the functional layout of the complex with defined routes for patrons and horses, the condensing of the stabling layout of 600 boxes and the creation of open spaces for parade rings and landscaping.
Stage 1 involved the detailed design of buildings to house 200 stables and the development of a new demountable modular stabling system together with associated equine and VIP facilities.

Hunter Valley Equine Centre
In 1989 the firm was engaged to masterplan the Hunter Valley Equine Research Centre at Scone. This centre incorporates a completely new 1700m turf Racetrack and Grandstand, an Equine Research Centre, an Equine TAFE College, Racing Museum and Stabling for 300 horses .
The new state of the art track was completed in 1992 and the revolutionary design of the Grandstand and Day Stalls was completed in 1994 to coincide with the first race meeting.
In 1997 the Research Centre including Laboratory's, Seminar Rooms, Accommodation and Service modules was completed to provide Australia's first, purely equine research establishment.

Randwick Equestrian Clinic
During this period TC&Co was also commissioned to design a new equine hospital and diagnostic laboratory for renown racing vet Percy Sykes, this included full operating theatres, knock down rooms, X-ray suites and nuclear medicine facilities.
In 1991 in what seemed a natural progression, Tim and his wife became the proprietor and owner of the Highlands Equestrian Centre one of Australia's largest centres located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
This hands on experience provided a unique knowledge of the specialised requirements of Equestrian Sporting facilities in the three Olympic disciplines of Dressage, Jumping and Eventing as well as the day to day running and viability requirements of an equestrian business.

New Sydney Showground
In 1996 TC&Co formed a consortium known as Pavilion Architects with two Sydney based Architectural firms, SJPH Design Partnership and Scott Carver Architects to successfully bid for the design of the Animal Pavilions at the New Sydney Showground.
This project involved the design of 15 exhibition buildings based on passive environmental design and natural light and ventilation principals that could house up to 1,000 horses, 1,000 cattle, sheep, goats and alpacas.
The project was completed on time and within its $67mil budget for the opening of the 1998 Royal Easter Show the largest rural exhibition in the world. The buildings have since won both Environmental and Interior design awards by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects
