Contemporary two-story residence in Fitzroy featuring energy-efficient design, a self-contained guest apartment, and innovative architectural elements for optimal comfort and sustainability.

Sackville Street, Fitzroy

Design + Brief

Situated in the coastal suburb of Fitzroy, our clients Leonard and Sally took on the task to design their own home. Wanting to create a house that would be cool in summer/warm in winter, Leonard and Sally cleverly incorporated energy-efficient + solar passive guidelines into their design, achieving year-round comfort and energy conservation. Two storied and rectangular in shape the house has a low angled mono-pitched roof. Buttress walls to the front façade accentuate the thickness of the mass walls; which also support the cantilevered roof overhang. Together all of these well thought out architectural features execute a clean, simple and streamlined appearance whilst also providing shade and shelter in the necessary places. 

Leonard and Sally have created a modern, well laid out, apartment-style living for themselves with a generous self-contained guest apartment on the ground level. Sleek and stunning; their home has come together beautifully. 

Designed by Leonard and Sally

“We St Georges By The Sea Limited have completed two major phased of construction and had Craig MacLeod working for us. In 2010 we built St Georges house by the sea whereby Craig helped on the project and was a valuable lead hand for my main builder. Subsequently, in 2014 we developed a 4000m2 lot complete with landscaping, a clay tennis court and pavilion, a storage facility with 10KWp solar power on the roof and a guest house. Craig MacLeod was the main contractor on this project, he did most of the work with his team and skilfully led the other specialist trades to perform an intricate very well built project. The project was tight schedule with a completion date that had to be met, Craig completed on time and overcame any obstacle to meet the schedule without compromising quality. Craig is a seasoned professional and really knows the carpentry trade and the entire coordination involved to perform the project as general/main contractor. Craig is well supported by his training, his own work ethic and standard of care and integrity which are paramount attributes for a top-class builder. I am the Director of St Georges By The Sea Limited and also President of Newton Group Ltd a mid-sized general contracting firm in Canada and we are planning a 3rd phase of construction to build an addition to the guest house that Craig MacLeod built, we will be using Craig again on this project. I would recommend Craig MacLeod Construction for anyone looking for a very high-quality builder, to work for a fair price, with honesty and integrity and get the project completed on time, on budget with great looking final product.”
