Architecture
Hill House
A renovation of a lovely old character home in Brisbane. The house follows the slope to catch breezes, views, connect to the garden and bring a playful and deeply social feel to the house. The slides show a raw material palette and a love for craft
Peters House
The project sits on a large coastal site in the subtropical east coast of Australia. With a beautiful view to the bay and a north facing slope, the design called for a new garden home to fully utilise the big block and enjoy the climate year round. The home transitions from a raised living platform, to a grounded verandah and resting spaces surrounded by lush garden.
Dodd House
This home utilises the most abundant locally available material, granite based soil to construct a high performing, resilient, earthen home. Nestled in dense bush land, this beautiful community was unfortunately subject to severe fire damage. Research indicates this design as a viable fire resilient structure. Passive design principals will moderate climate extremes, as a semi-arid temperate climate, the earthen thermal mass is positioned to be shaded in summer and warmed by sun and internal heating during the cold winters. Carefully curated picture windows focus the views to with ventilation through solid shutters.
Tennyson House
Beautiful bones, post war in a riverside suburb of Brisbane. Original hardwood, Brisbane roof tiles and Brisbane Brick reused to bring good healthy living into the house. Simple efficient detailing uses recycled timbers to bring warmth and a healthy durable interior environment. Well considered openings orientate the house towards the 'best room in the house' - the back yard under an old Boab and Poinciana tree. The house is designed as a living system to give life to the interior and create a relationship with the owner.
