He was also the architect for the redevelopment of the pool to the Lexus Centre.[2] In 1972 McIntyre formed an additional partnership with George Connor and Donald Wolbrink in 1972 and form International PlanningCollaborative (Interplan) He wrote the 1973 Strategy Plan for the City of Melbourne, which limited high rise development to its eastern and western shoulders. His major projects include Melbourne's Parliament Station, The Jam Factory Complex in South Yarra, the Westfield Knox in Wantirna South and the creation of the Dinner Plain alpine village near Mount Hotham, Victoria.
