Previous Projects
Clyde Homes
The Clyde Project was a set of four similar homes on a subdivided sloping block in Newcastle. The design made the most of the prevailing breezes, north-west aspect and intelligent landscaping to create a natural airconditioning effect that could be turned on and off and at will.
Belmont Commercial Premises
With a large cafe, retail premises and office space this building was designed to connect with the local community. Courtyards and roof-top gardens maximised urban habitat and created the opportunity for generous, light-filled and private office spaces. Lightweight, low maintenance rainscreen cladding, low maintenance and sustainably sourced interior finishes, solar panels, electric vehicle charging and on-site stormwater management all contributed to the environmentally responsible credetials of this multi-use building.
McMichael Home
The McMichael Home in Newcastle was designed for indoor-outdoor connectivity. With cathedral ceilings and generous all-weather outdoor areas this home is filled with light. Solar panels, rainwater collection, a lightweight green roof and thermally efficient design all work together to make this a sustainable home for the long term.
Energy Efficient Extension
Extending your home can provide a connection to the outside, bringing in light and a feeling of space. It can also help keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.
The sunroom in this extension can be opened up to the rest of the house to maximise open space,
or it can insulate and draw heat away from the other rooms, venting hot air outside and keeping the rest of the house cool in summer.
Energy Efficient Extension
The rear extension to this tiny weatherboard cottage included a new master bedroom and an open plan kitchen and living area connecting with the backyard.
Energy Efficient Extension
Carefully placed windows, skylights and features such as internal exposed brick are used here to make this home comfortable all year round.
