Brunswick West
By BINQ Windows
As a backyard subdivision, this project is an example of urban infil,taking advantage of the existing amenity and services that exist in our inner-city suburds, and is one less dewlling on the suburban fringe.
The compact floor plan is arranged around a north-facing courtyard/garden allowing for large north and east facing windows from the summer sun while allowing winter sun to penetrate and warm the floor slab. West-facing windows are protected by external blinds. A second garden/courtyard to the south allows for the placement of windows and door to establish cross centilation. The design provies for comfortable living with low energy use throughout the year.
The house is conceived as two simply gable forms. One is clad in recycled clicnker bricks, the other silertop ash battens from radial timbers. The structure is a simple lightweight timber frame on an insulated concrete slab. The walls and roof are highly insulated. The interiors feature silvertop ash lining boards from radial timber in an Osmo penetrative oil finish.

About the
Professional
Established in 2009, BINQ is a privately owned Australian company who's influence comes from travelling the globe researching the most advanced window systems, machinery and manufacturing techniques.
Expanding its business and operations to a national, recognized brand, BINQ has two manufacturing plants located in Melbourne, Victoria, with a combined floor area of over 3,000m2, and is now Australia's largest high-performance window manufacturer.

Our customer service is geared to exceptional standards at each touch point of the customer journey, with responsiveness being the critical driver right from the first touch point, through the sales process, to scheduling and production and after sales services.
With solid project planning, automated machinery, advanced manufacturing techniques and highly skilled joinery technicians, we consistently meet deadlines, whilst maintaining a high quality of workmanship.
Our diverse product offer consists of timber and uPVC window systems catering to a range of both residential and commercial markets in Australia, specializing in high-performing, thermally efficient, architectural window systems.
Windows have tradionally been viewed as a utilitarian product where a designer has designed a hole in a wall for a window to be installed into, whereas we view windows as much more than that. We view windows as the most important element in a building that has a dramatic impact on the design, aesthetics, functionality, liveability, and performance of a home.
We've always been very focused on the tupe of business we want to be and the type of busienss we want to be known for and it's this clarity that continues to drive the busienss everything day.
Regardless of where we've been throughout the journey, one thing has stood true. 'To raise the standard in the industry by giving customer unequivocal excellence in product and service, at honest prices', which has become the mission of the business.
