Type | New Addition
Completed | 2019
Area | 500 sqm 

Medindie House is a two-storey addition to a grand old sandstone villa.
Our client sought a contemporary lifestyle and a strong connection to the spacious north facing rear yard, whilst also accommodating extended family.

The site’s location directly under a flightpath, led to the selection of insitu concrete construction for the walls, floors and roof.  The solidity of the concrete is balanced with warm, natural materials and the play of light throughout the addition.  Windows, frameless skylights and voids, are strategically located in walls and roofs to capture the sun, natural light, breezes and the garden views.  The addition is minimal, yet warm and functional with an understated luxury; a contemporary but enduring addition to the beautifully restored villa.

In the words of the Owners:
“We simply love spending time in our new home. It’s a place of tranquillity, beauty and peace which compels us to share it with friends and family. We are proud custodians of the home. There has been so much hard work, dedication and love put into construction and we genuinely feel the echoes of everyone’s efforts every day.”

About the
Professional

Architects Ink is an award winning Architecture and Interior Design practice established in 1996 with offices in Adelaide and Sydney.

Led by three directors in Adelaide, architects Marco Spinelli, Tony Lippis, and Mladen Zujic, and in Sydney, architect Pierre Della Putta.

We specialise in high quality residential design; new houses, alterations and additions, and multi-residential. Our diverse commercial project experience includes healthcare, workplace, hospitality, educational, and retail, as well as council and government.

We create responsive, intelligent architecture and interiors with a focus on conceptual ideas to develop a distinct identity for every project and each client, their needs and aspirations.

We understand that the design process is as important as the final product.

We support communicative and collaborative design and building procedures, as the foundation for establishing strong relationships between our designers, clients, builders and consultants.

We have a dynamic and creative workplace, where shared passions extend beyond good design. We love to share these with you too.

We establish a close relationship with our clients throughout the design process. Together we workshop ideas in a non-hierarchical environment with all participants contributing to possible design outcomes.

We learn about how our clients interact within their home or workplace, to provide a space that will enhance their lives in the present and future.

We believe every client is unique and the design solution should be a reflection of our combined experiences.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
