  • What makes a house a home?

 

Our latest Dawson Street home is the 2nd home we have created in a row of 6 identical host properties. On paper, our clients’ requirements are similar; improved living areas, increased functionality, additional bedrooms, etc., yet the resulting home couldn’t be any more different. Why? Because the requirement of each home owner is different, and every home we design is a product of context and people, so no two can ever be the same. Let’s be honest, we are all a little ‘special’ and so are the ways we want to live.

The owner of this home has wonderful memories, and stories, many of them are communicated through a wonderful collection of furniture art and ‘knick-knackery’. It’s no coincidence that the furnishings and ‘knick knacks’ all sit harmoniously in the house; we designed the house to allow the owners to tell their story.

A home is more than a place to rest and shelter. A house becomes a home when only with people, their memories and their stories (and their knick-knacks).

  • Perfectly proportioned. Our 'Norfolk Avenue' project transforms an outdated cottage into an  immensely liveable, light filled, modern home.

Double height dining area, overlooking master bedroom, sky views, sunken living area, and an integrated courtyard; all combine to maximise the feeling of space whilst defining each living area. Open plan, with a plan.

Expertly built by @buildartprojects

  • Contemporary with character.

This compact, two storey addition is a contemporary insertion that blends old and new.

Timber panelling and feature moulding reflect the charm of the existing home, whilst steeply pitched roof forms provide a comfortable streetscape appearance.

The planning maximising light, ventilation and outlook, whist ensuring privacy on a tight urban site.

Construction is about to commence @buildartprojects.
  • Its been a while!

Whilst we have been quiet here for a while, we have been busy working on some amazing homes for wonderful clients. This rural property nestles between the trees, to maximise views and natural shade, whilst minimising environmental impact.

Designed in two distinct pavilions, the home accommodates the owners current needs and budget, whilst allowing for future expansion.

Oh, and it has a white roof as always, because black roofs aren't cool. 😉
  • Lovely renovation for a garden loving family. Simple, affordable and  monochromatic.

  • Remember when bathrooms were cold, dark utility spaces?

To me, bathroom design undergoes the same design rigour as any space. Consideration of function, light, outlook, texture and materiality.

Don't know about you, but it's the one space I get peace (ish) from the kids...so maybe thats why I value their design so much.

Great example of a simple and considered bathroom here by @meekbathware.
  • Another client with direction for their home renovation ✔

OK, so it's not 'sexy', but our 'Envision Checklist' ensures we cover all issues that influence your build.
  • Lots of new projects starting at the moment. Our 'Envision' pre-design service is really helping people find out what their homes could be. 'Quick and dirty' sketches help get the ideas onto paper before we test them against council requirements and discuss construction costs with local builders. Hopefully the client for this one doesn't recognise their home before we present it to them 😬...or we may have a social media. 'client review' on our hands. 🖊

  • Playing with texture, light and shade.

Whilst natural light has a functional quality, its beauty goes far beyond it being a light source.

Movement, changes in colour and changes in intensity, all combine to create a dynamic environment that helps orientation and provides subconscious awareness of time.
  • I love 'Dynamic Architecture'; architecture that transforms, changes, moves.

Whether it be physical transformation  like the work of Tom Kundig,  movement through manipulation of light, or design of adaptable space for changing needs; dynamic space is exciting space.
