Another image of our submission to an apartment design competition in Erskineville, alongside @archeroffice. This render by @n_machine captures the double height vaulted entry space, a beautiful entrance to a building which was pitched to utilise materials which paid homage to the site’s industrial and cultural history. Congratulations again to the winning team, @silvesterfuller.

This week, we are sharing renders of an apartment design competition in Erskineville, done in collaboration with @archeroffice. Revealing the building’s parkside facade, our design philosophy hinged on a connectivity to the surrounding natural parkland and the diverse inner west community. Congratulations to the winning team @silvesterfuller!

Another glimpse of our exciting new collaboration with @fortisdg and @cbre_residential_sydney, the Woollahra Collection. Highlighting the new development on James Street at the rear of the site, this image reveals our incorporation of classic design principles that unify the apartments with the heritage renovation of terrace houses and an old theatre, fronting Oxford Street.

As part of our exciting collaboration with @fortisdg and @cbre_residential_sydney, the Woollahra Collection, we will be restoring a row of terrace homes to their former distinction. Beside these terraces sits a former theatre, which will house one oversized residence, paying homage to the grandness of its former incarnations as an athletic hall, dance academy, restaurant theatre and a flamingo club.

A concept image of our upcoming ‘Woollahra Collection’ project in collaboration with @fortisdg and @cbre_residential_sydney. Along with the renovation of a row of terrace houses and an adjoining theatre, this project incorporates a luxury apartment development to the rear. Reinventing an unoccupied site, these apartments will capitalise on an abundance of natural light, a long street frontage on a quiet lane, and ample space to incorporate greenery.

This fortnight we are showcasing concept images for the Woollahra Collection, a boutique development on Oxford and James Street, Woollahra. In collaboration with @fortisdg and @cbre_residential_sydney, we are embarking on the transformation of an under-utilised precinct of terrace houses and a grand old theatre. This significant project aims to gracefully reinvent these heritage terraces, restoring their stately character while adding a luxury apartment development to the rear. Honouring the history of the site, the Woollahra Collection fuses heritage with contemporary luxury.

We are delighted to announce the DA approval of our Atrium House in Vaucluse by Woollahra Council.
Designed to evoke a series of uplifting experiences, entry to the house is made through an external plant-filled atrium, past an internal double height space and then an entry vestibule, overlooking a roof garden, to the first-floor living level. At 800 square metres, Atrium House comprises five bedrooms, a separate top-floor master suite, a home office and three living areas.
A progressive opening up reveals harbour views along the length of the house, starting with glimpses from the cantilevered open stairs and upstairs courtyard terrace, eventuating with full views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the first-floor open-plan living/dining area. These harbour outlooks and roof garden aspects are complemented by an immersive inclusion of three different uses of water: the entry vestibule reflection pond, a 25 metre lap pool hugging the side of the house and a roof-top jacuzzi off the master suite.

An important design criteria for the client of our Tivoli residence is its ability to fully open and shut. The screens at the uppermost level slide open to spectacular harbour views and fully close to provide privacy and security as well as protection from sun and wind. The roof is fully covered in photo-voltaic cells to provide battery-stored energy for daily needs as well as house and pool heating. The house also has recessed external venetian blinds on the mid levels, which can be lowered to close off the house from heat load in summer.

Another glimpse of our Rose Bay 'Tivoli' project, visualised by @marchenkonovakstudio. The four-storey structure is layered in bands of stone, concrete and bronzed battens, which articulate change in context and cleverly play with scale. Materials lighten as the house extends upwards, whilst a recessive, stone-plinth ground floor recreation and gym level opens up to an infinity pool and lawn facing the harbour.

Introducing 'Tivoli', a waterside residence in Rose Bay, currently under construction. Once housing a small and tired 1980s brick bungalow, the orientation of which didn’t take full advantage of the harbour views, this battle axe lot is accessed via a narrow driveway and down a state-of-the-art car lift from the street. The proposed house design expresses the changing nature of its site as it rises from harbour front rocky crag to sheer cut cliff to floating tree canopy, stepping up the steep landscape of Rose Bay's eastern escarpment.

Another image of our North Sydney project, recently approved by the LEC. Looking north, we see the building at the corner of Ben Boyd Road, orienting all apartments towards city and harbour views. Our materiality palette of sandstone for the base, precast concrete and blonde brickwork harmonises the building organically with the streetscape, further aided by our directional external form and draped greenery which is designed to hang over angular balcony edges.

This week, we are sharing renders of our design for an apartment block in Neutral Bay, recently approved by the LEC. Revealed in this image depicting the south-facing facade, the overall design concept draws inspiration from the immediate topography of the site and its surrounding buildings. Sandstone shelves create a strong stone base, complemented by sweeping horizontal banding extending above, granting the four-per-floor units a generous orientation towards city and harbour views.

We are kicking off 2023 with some details from our exciting build at Ben Buckler, North Bondi. Made to withstand a once-in-a-hundred-year-storm, the perforated pivot screens at ‘On the Rocks’ were manufactured from stainless steel, fabricated at @advanceddesigninnovations workshop in Wodonga. The screens went through a lengthy design development process including a 1:1 prototype for testing, pictured here in raw stainless steel form in the workshop, and in powder coated finish, installed on site.
