By All Australian Architecture
Brief:
My clients owned 15 acres of partly cleared land and dreamt of a large ‘Revenge’ inspired country home. This Hamptons style home also needed to be thermally efficient and passive solar.
The house needs 4 Bedrooms plus a guest suite, two large living spaces, an open plan kitchen with butlers pantry, a three-car garage plus storage. Add to this an impressive entry, a large sunny rear patio / entertaining area overlooking a pool and beyond to their two dams.
Response:
As the architect, my first thoughts were about orientation for the sun. We then found that by turning away from the road we could get north sun, views to the dam and a more meandering approach for visitors.
We designed the south side to be more formal with smaller windows and an impressive turning circle. Looking north, we designed large doors and windows opening up and flowing onto the ample outdoor patio, down to the pool and onto the flowing lawns.
Homes are our Specialty.
I'm an architect that loves homes. Homes are my passion and where we've specialised for the last 20 years in Sydney. I don't have a style, I don't need one, because it's not about me, it's all about you, your family, your dreams and your home.
I have a small professional team and access to some of the best builders in Sydney. Together we know how to get a project through DA or Complying Development or both.
Our passion is to create a home our clients love, right down to the interior fit-out, lighting, colours and materials. Bespoke and individual, stylish and classic, or just the way you want it.
We listen to what you want so that your home is designed to suit your life.
See your vision come alive early in the process with our detailed 3D design modelling. When our clients can explore their home on a computer or tablet, we find our clients can move the process forward more quickly and with greater confidence.
To better manage your budget, we built an online building cost calculator, which anyone can use. It's detailed but quick and straightforward and is a great way to start the design process and update the costing as you go.
