Breezeblocks lending some poetry in these recent site progress shots.

The existing house is wrapped with a triangulated concrete lattice, enclosing pockets of garden and providing retreat and shade.

The building aspires to simplicity, rationality and economy. High quality spaces are achieved through simple gestures, such as creating tall, open volumes with raked ceilings on the first floor.⁠⁠

The building form is broken up through the expressive use of the hipped and gabled roof forms replicating the form and scale of the surrounding post war homes common to the neighbourhood. This repeated hipped profile across the site oriented with the pitch east – west creates a slope naturally optimized for solar panels. ⁠⁠

The landscape is hardy, layered, organic and composed of natives. It is purposely ambiguous in its private/public nature with large portions of fencing removed or lowered, encouraging interaction.⁠⁠

is a new kind of public makerspace that we designed in collaboration with that is rethinking traditional workshops and contemporary makerspaces to create a new kind of creation space. A space that is easily accessible and inclusive to all kinds and levels of makers, providing access to advanced manufacturing and making equipment as well as a community of experienced makers and innovators.⁠⠀

Located in Elwood on a wide leafy street, the original dwelling is a post war semi-d that has since had a series of renovation add-ons to the rear resulting in a confusing layout with duplicated amenities. The brief was to create a forever home that would better cater for a young modern family with well-connected shared spaces as well as areas that could easily be zoned off for privacy and refuge.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The front of the existing house was sensitively restored and kept largely intact with the existing front bedrooms reconfigured and enlarged, creating a children’s zone with a rumpus and bathroom. The main entry, previously at the front, was then relocated to the middle of the house, drawing visitors down alongside the existing main structure via a generous leafy side setback into the new public spaces housed in the belly. The parent’s zone sits quietly above the new spaces, with an abundance of northern light and views down into the courtyard.⁠⠀
