Adrian and Alice were after an addition to encourage an outdoor lifestyle for their young family, connecting the exterior to the interior through a series of overlapping spaces. Together, we decided that it was essential to capitalise on the northern lot orientation with a protruding second floor of kids rooms, creating shade for the alfresco deck while reducing the impact of building area on yard size. We used a simple palette of materials to incorporate a few key design features: a circular window, perforated stair and colourful tiling. The added volumes and their cladding playfully define distinct forms and a respectful relationship with the existing building. The result is simple but thoughtful arrangement that reflects the nature and lifestyle of the family. Location: Hawkstone ST, Cottesloe Project Type: Additions Builder: Hugo Homes Pty Ltd; Status: Completed (2018). “Throughout the entire process Nathan has been an inspired designer, wise adviser and knowledgeable guide. He made the process an exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. He listened carefully to our ideas; interpreting them in interesting and sensitive ways.” – Alice Strang

“Nathan Steele from Steelehouse Architects was our preferred architect for our recently completed major home extension in Mount Hawthorn, Perth. Steelehouse provided a full-service including design, documentation and quality review during construction. We cannot speak highly enough of Nathan and his team' sensitivity and ability to meeting our requirements whilst ensuring a sophisticated and exceptional design. The design process was thorough yet very enjoyable and personable - addressing cost and buildability at every turn. They also managed submission of the DA, costings and compliance. Steelehouse are highly accomplished architects offering great value for money - but more than that - our home has become a place of deep joy, beauty and satisfaction for the whole family. They have an eye for form, materiality and detail that we truly appreciate only now at completion. Everyone in our community have provided very positive responses to the dynamic and interesting design. The speed with which we completed the project is a testament to the well considered construction documentation and site communication with trades. Equally the project came in exactly on budget - a great relief to us as owners. We are overjoyed with the process and outcome for what was a large scale project considering the budget, We have no reservation in recommending Steelehouse Architects and would be happy to be contacted privately to discuss in more detail.”
