Joe Chindarsi of Chindarsi Architects explored design concepts for this project around the Australian vernacular, coupled with a European style of living in the Western Australian countryside. This house is designed around the idea of an “Australian Shed” however, it encompasses a more muscular and angled design element throughout.
Chris Blaber is the owner builder of this project, a modern take on a beach house. With a stringent energy report, Chris was faced with the challenge of not building his windows to their specification. But after speaking to us – design was not compromised and we ticked the boxes of the energy and fire ratings.
This sleek, architecturally designed home is located in Rosebud, a seaside town on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. The project started out as a replacement building for fibro shack, which has grown into an architecturally inspired, carefully designed home. James Goodlet of Altereco Design was chosen to ensure the clients dream home came to life. The home�s main design focus is on high ceilings and large scale glazing which in turn gives the home a sense of openness.
Located in one of the Illawarra’s premier beachside suburbs and sitting on the headland of Austinmer Beach is this amazing, curved, elongated home perched on concrete columns. The requirements for the design of this home were strict, the owners needed a home that was appropriate to raise a young family, yet could also be transformed instantaneously into a place suitable for entertaining.
Architect Janelle Boynton speaks about creating Boyntons Winery using Elevate Aluminium Systems to solve design and functionality problems her build was facing.
Given two seperate clients with seperate requirements, architect Mark Broadley accomodated to both needs while remaining balanced and fitting in with the overall look. Mark incorporated as many environmentally sustainable inclusions as possible including cross ventialation to help build on the elegance of the project.
Built under the Green Star program, architect Paul Godsell was appointed with the significant task of designing a sustainable, practical and memorable architectural work. Built with a refuced ‘ecological footprint’, the result is a building with a remarkably low energy demand for heating, cooling and lighting.
The Dawes Residence is located in the city of Canberra, which is typically known for its hot summers and cold winters. Architect Tony Trobe worked on a strict brief to maximise views of the client’s surrounds as well as ensure there were connections between the indoors and outdoors without compromising the thermal efficiency of the home.
This property is located on a small hill in the Byron Hinterland- which allowed the house to be orientated perfectly for optimal passive design. Part of the brief was that the clients have a significant art and book collection so whilst they wanted a house that had a strong connection to the landscape, they needed wall space in the living area and bedrooms.
A house encompassed by picturesque surroundings in a fantastic location, Architect Andrew Verri was chosen to design a dream home – a farmhouse fit for an entire family. Andrew was faced with the challenge of having a pool inside the house while preventing condensation build up when temperatures differed inside and out. The ThermalHEART range allowed Andrew to incorporate many windows and doors whilst maintaining thermal efficiency throughout the house.
