Contemporary home

Nestled within a serene suburban landscape, the single-storey concrete home seeks to blend with the landscape rather than stick out. Furthermore, it seeks to embody a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, offering an ideal sanctuary for a modern family.

The gallery not only enhances the spatial flow but also acts as an artful display for personal art pieces and provides views of the seasonal landscape, fostering a sense of fluidity and connectivity....

Acknowledging the critical value of this property’s Grade 2 listing and heritage, our design approach throughout is to maintain all period features, treating the introduction of anything new literally as ‘pieces of furniture’ - distinct elements separate from the main architecture and easily removable.  Anna Batchelor Anna Batchelor We proposed the introduction of two kitchen elements in a manner that is minimal similar to a chest of drawers. The design of the free-standing units is such that the design i... More

AD HOUSE was born on a hill with a nice view of the Langhe and its vineyard in a small lot located between two existing buildings. The area was presented with great potentials due to its position and the surrounding landscape but the project was limited by an environmental protective restriction  for one part of the lot. This restriction divided the lot in two parts. The volume of the building with the gable roof with its wooden beams are the results of the constriction that was the main challenge of the project. Despite this limitation, on the other side,  was possible to realize a flat roof as a terrace. The building is a result of two parts that have different shapes but are combined together. The villa develops in a living are... More

This new home in Campbell’s Bay is built in front of a natural creek, framed by native bush. Exterior materials were carefully selected to allow the home to settle gently into the tranquil native bush surroundings, while the use of timber features across the interior spaces speak to the outside environment.

Vertical timber screens to the entry and outdoor spaces elongate the façades upwards while serving practical purposes through shading weather and increasing privacy. The home is designed in a ‘U’ shaped floor plan around an open central courtyard, allowing natural light to permeate the interior spaces while... More

Sited on a hilltop overlooking a 2-acre property, this contemporary residence has a Zen-like, quiet feel at the approach but expands toward the garden to provide for outdoor living and entertaining. Exposed timber framing expresses structural lines of force and gives warmth to the house. Timber and stone lend themselves to an organic expression of the structure growing out of the contour of the ground; this natural expression is carried through to the interior of the home. Wide sliding glass doors along with glazing of corners and of the full height of spaces blur the distinction between inside and outside. More
