Located on a steep terrain in heavy bushland on Garigal Country in Church Point, the design evolved around the concept of repurposing used shipping containers into a small yet bespoke family home. The expression of raw industrial materials within a bush landscape enveloped by native flora became the cornerstone of the design. The project faced challenges including restrictive bushfire controls, protection of native trees and difficult access but the finished build demonstrates how beautiful and functional an unnatural element can reside within a wild and natural place.
Rama is a multi-disciplinary design team specialising in architecture and interior design. our vision is to create beautiful spaces and timeless architecture that gives people an enhanced sense of well-being.
Design Style and Principals
Rama is proud to explore a variety of different styles of Architecture and Interior Design, from traditional coastal or weatherboard homes to innovative modern structures, non-residential projects and everything in between. Our philosophy with Architecture and Interior Design revolves around the ideologies of simplicity, balance, scale & proportion and a connection to landscape.
Architecture
Our practice thrives on innovation, pushing boundaries and dreaming up spaces yet to be seen. We’re also grounded and pragmatic.‘Form follows function’ is a principle of modernist architecture, which is embodied in all the work we do. Our Architecture performs first on a functional level before we endeavour for an aesthetic solution.
Interior Design
Rama offers interior design services as a component of a greater architectural project or as a stand-alone interior design offering. Our designers enjoy working closely with clients to achieve a result that reflects their desired outcomes and requirements and are happy to facilitate showroom visits to select materials, finishes and furniture. Upon establishing the brief, design intent and project direction, our designers offer tailored design advice to suit each client to create beautiful homes that are bespoke, refined and complimentary to their lives.
