CLIFFORDS TOWER, MANNING RIVER NSW

An interesting project to emulate an English castle in rural NSW. We did some early conceptual sketches.

 

CAZNEAUX STREET, McCUBBIN RISE ACT

A new home in North Weston. Completed in late 2014.

 

 

 

SMITHS ROAD MT CLEAR NSW

This will be a dream home constructed on a remote rural property just south of Canberra. Essential considerations were services, bushfire protection and access. Construction of the first stage is complete.

 

DROMEDARY DRIVE, MYSTERY BAY NSW

A beach house. The building was completed in 2019.

 

 

McCUBBIN RISE, NORTH WESTON ACT

A new residence in McCubbin Rise with a first floor viewing deck commanding a superb vista towards Mt Stromlo and the Brindabellas. Completed early 2013.

 

 

DISCOVERY DRIVE, YASS NSW

An interesting "reproduction" 1950s house on a semi rural site on the outskirts of Yass NSW.

 

 

DUFFY ACT

This home was rebuilt after the January 2003 bushfires, and used the owner's extensive knowledge of the site to frame views, optimise sunlight and take advantage of the elevated sloped block. We are currently monitoring energy use and thermal performance.

 

 

 

 

 

DEFENCE HOUSING AUTHORITY HOUSES

Between 2000 and 2003 our office designed 300 houses for the Defence Housing Authority. These included developments in Rockingham WA, Adelaide SA, Canberra ACT, Queanbeyan NSW, Darwin NT. Ipswich QLD, Toowoomba QLD, Wagga NSW, Nowra NSW, Medowie NSW, Cairns QLD and even one house in Weipa QLD.

 

 

 

 

SOMERSET STREET, DUFFY ACT

Another bushfire rebuild, which uses four level changes to create exciting spaces and integrate the open space with the living areas on a sloping block.

 

 

 

ALLAN STREET, CURTIN ACT

A knock down rebuild on a tricky site in Canberra's inner south.

 

 

 

 

MEEHAN GARDENS, FORDE ACT

An interesting wedge shaped block gave us some real brain teasing problems. The house was designed around the open kitchen in a double volume space.

 

 

 

 

LINDSAY PRYOR ST WRIGHT ACT

A large family home in one of Canberra's newest suburbs. Completed late 2012.

 

 

 

 

 

GLENEAGLES, KAMBAH ACT

A federation style executive residence, with feature wainscotting, a four storey stair volume and carefully researched period detail.

 

 

 

TINDERRY ROAD, MICHELAGO NSW

A new residence in country NSW with restricted access and servicing and a considerable bushfire risk.

 

 

 

WARREN PLACE, CHIFLEY ACT

A demolition and rebuild of a Mr Fluffy house.

 

 

 

 

KIMMORLEY STREET, CASEY ACT

A new home in the Gungahlin suburb of Casey. Completed early 2017.
