Connecting the old with the new.

In our effort to preserve some of its history, the bones of this original beach cottage were maintained; and the open-plan rear extension only emerges upon entry to the home.
-
Whilst the character of the existing weatherboard facade has been celebrated, the addition of a contemporary double garage provides a respectful contrast against the original house and an opportunity for a reimagined pedestrian entryway - connecting the old with the new ✨ .com.au

Interior Elevations

Our interior elevations have been continually evolving throughout the process of this project and were crucial in resolving heights, alignments and junction details to get things looking (and working) just right ✨ .com.au

With its elevated position and uninterrupted views out over Bungan Beach, this site provided the perfect blank canvas for our preliminary conceptual studies resulting in a beautiful high end multi-level home. Whilst the bulk of the built form responds to the typography of the site, allowing views from each room, consideration was also given to the upper level roof form; maximising access to the northerly sunlight. .com.au

We’ve been busy working away behind the scenes to complete the tender documentation for this beautiful interiors concept. Looking forward to getting started on site ✨ .com.au

Site progress at our North Avalon project 🙌🏼

Whilst this may have been our most challenging approval process to date, I am confident it will be worth the wait!

The studio and pool are in, and the main dwelling is ready to go. I can’t wait to see this one come together ✨

DA Approved… and I may have already designed stage two 😉 .com.au

Another DA uploaded onto the NSW Planning Portal today 🙌🏼

Drawing inspiration from the beautiful South Curl Curl ocean pool, our Curl Curl plunge pool is nestled into the stunning natural rock shelf that runs through the site.
-
Following the recently completed landscape works by (where bespoke stairs and fire pit seating were meticulously carved into the natural rock), our clients brief was to retain as much of the rock feature as possible.

The infinity edge detail will allow uninterrupted views over Curl Curl beach towards the ocean pool ✨ .com.au

Our Mona Vale Basin house was lodged with Council yesterday 🙌🏼

This has been such an exciting project to work on; a beautiful location, brief and clients who have wholeheartedly entrusted me throughout the process.

I am looking forward to sharing more of this project over the coming months .com.au

Researching zoning and relevant planning controls for another potential new project on the mid-north coast today 🙌🏼

DA approved 🙌🏼

Whilst our design has developed considerably since the initial concept presentation (presented 3.5 years ago), the design intent remains the same - to significantly enhance the sense of space, natural light and cross ventilation, whilst retaining both the existing building footprint and streetscape facade.
-
Modifications have been made along the way to ensure both compliance with Council codes and to provide a cost effect build for our client.
-
Thank you to my little brother at surveying for the assistance along the way. Navigating Council’s policies for boundary investigations, redefinitions and registrations prior to the DA being lodged proved quite the learning process 🤯

What a year! A heartfelt thank you to all my amazing clients who supported me through a premature birth, special care nursery, Covid lockdowns and navigating work/life/homeschooling with three young children at home. Your patience, kindness and support mean so much.
