Fowell was primarily responsible for the design of over forty churches in New South Wales and Victoria, including Catholic churches at North Sydney (1937), Parkes (1939) and Neutral Bay (1941).

His design (1941) for St Philip Neri's, Northbridge, was a further step in liturgical change and influenced later architects.
