San Fernando Residence banner

A new home for an expanding family wanting more room to live on a rural site which also incorporates a new workspace to the rear of the property. The design was conceived with modernist elements in simple single storey box volumes linked with walkways. 

The link walkways gave opportunities for adjacent garden areas and allowed light and breeze to penetrate the box forms. With the client’s business ‘Envirocoat Concrete Concepts’ in all things polished concrete, this materiality was utilised beautifully in all elements from flooring through to vanity and benchtops. 

External forms were softened with natural timber claddings reflecting the bush setting. External areas were blurred from internal spaces to capitalise on the climate, outdoor living with young kids and views to the Gold Coast Skyline. 

Completed: September 2020

We Are Habitat Studio Architects

Habitat Studio Architects is a progressive design based boutique architectural practice committed to providing our clients with quality design and professional service.

Habitat Studio Architects is a multi-disciplinary practice established in 2010 out of an urge for creative freedom to maintain a high level of design on projects that connect with & consider the environment in which they are sited. Each of our designs are a reflection of the unique character of the site, to create a ‘sense of place’ that responds to climate and the local context. Environmental sustainability of our architecture is part of the process rather than an option. We incorporate sustainable principles and appropriate material selection in all our designs relevant to the brief.

The collaborative nature of the studio allows great flexibility with a large range of project scales including high end residential and beach houses, multi-residential townhouses and units, mixed use commercial, hospitality, industrial, fit-outs & interiors. Habitat Studio is an Australian Institute of Architects A+ Practice with project locations spreading down the Eastern Coastline from Cairns, Airlie Beach, Gold Coast, Northern NSW, Newcastle, Melbourne & Internationally to Singapore & Papua New Guinea.

You’ll probably find we are more passionate about your project than you are.

Habitat Studio Architects offers services in Architecture, Design & Documentation, Interiors, as well as 3D Visualisation in the form of concept modelling & sketches through to photorealistic marketing images.

We have a close working relationship with all secondary consultants required to realise your project and coordinate the relevant approvals process by authorities. We value the close working relationship between the client, architect and builder and have point of contact with previous recommended builders to tender for you and ensure a smooth process. Our fine level of detail and resolution of our buildings and documentation has a reputation amongst builders, making their job easier to achieve the desired outcome.

We have a varied scope of services reflective of our fees tailored to suit your needs & budget. Whether it be design only, DA approval, documentation, interiors or complete contract administration through construction, Habitat Studio Architects can accommodate your requirements. Through value adding to your end product and the cost savings through the construction phase it should be considered as an investment through the building process you can’t afford to go without.

From conception through to completion we work collaboratively with the client for a greater understanding of how they live their life, to develop their brief and to create a solution that far exceeds their expectations.

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.
