Designed for an extended family, this project includes a series of interconnected spaces that surround and contain a number of courtyards and green roof areas of varying scale and differing levels of privacy. The design reinterprets the traditional notion of the ‘backyard’ by providing garden aspect and access throughout.
The brief for this beachside home is to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that makes the most of the outdoor space, landscaping and the location. The design is to include a new courtyard to the centre of the house which will introduce natural light and a garden, and a resort like outdoor area complete with Pool, Cabana, and Studio with a green roof.
This petite addition uses limited space to create a new living area and terrace above.
The intimately sized interior includes built in sofas and a new polished concrete floor to complement the reconfigured dining area.
Externally, the vertical timber cladding has been designed to playfully contrast with the existing face brick, and a drought tolerant coastal garden has been included to provide year round greenery.
The owners of this seaside home in Maroubra wanted to make the most of their limited outdoor area.
The brief was to create an outdoor room that could be used throughout the year and flexible play areas to cater for their young children and neighbourhood friends.
This lakeside home was redesigned to take advantage of the beautiful setting.
By simplifying the layout and creating a large deck that extends across the length of the dwelling, views can now be captured throughout the house, and a relaxed flow has been created between the fresh, light filled interior and the generous outdoor living spaces.
The brief for this semi detached dwelling was to rationalise the internal layout, connect it to the outdoor space and to inject a sense of the owners' vibrant personalities.
The black and white palette was used to create a simple backdrop throughout the new open plan design, allowing a vibrant energy to be injected through the use of colourful materials, photographic images and decorative items.
The brief for this californian bungalow was to create a new raised deck and first floor addition. It was important to the owners that the design incorporate a flexible screen wall that would provide shading and privacy from the adjacent public laneway.
