"Light from All Angles"

Located on Erina Avenue, Five Dock, this addition is an expression of form and function with various angles working in harmony to allow light to gracefully play on various surfaces to create a well-lit environment.

The central courtyard design provides a separation between the old and the new while providing solar access throughout the house. The design utilises a mixture of low embodied materials such as timber and fibre cement sheeting and a polished concrete floor for its high thermal mass, to provide a comfortable space with less reliance on mechanical ventilation.

About the
Professional

Justin Loe Architects is an architecture firm operating since 2000, we specialise in creating beautiful spaces that inspire living.

We spend a large majority of our time in the built environment, whether at home or at work. The connections between people, friends and colleagues happen within these spaces and influence our well being on a daily basis. We aim to create a built environment that encourages living yet be connected to its place. We believe architecture should be functional yet be a source of inspiration and beauty.

We listen and work closely with our clients in bringing together their vision and bring our years of design knowledge and experience to evolve each project to create unique solutions. We believe good design requires careful planning and detailing to create comfortable yet distinct spaces.

We treat each project as a process of discovery with the aim for our clients to enjoy the design and building process as their project comes to fruition
