Stirling Residence

This 1975 architecturally designed home in the Adelaide Hills was sympathetically renovated in 2011. It was critical to respect the home’s original form and detailing when introducing a modern kitchen and multiple contemporary wet areas throughout. Timber, stone and marble have been combined with the existing timber veneers to create a truly stunning living environment in this sprawling Stirling family home. The split-level home is flooded with natural light and enjoys expansive views into the gardens from many of the rooms. Set on a beautifully landscaped 6,000sqm allotment, the home represents the epitome of this exciting period in Australian architecture. The client’s mid-century artworks, sculpture, furniture, lighting and general style beautifully compliment the original design period for this home. The well-resolved planning and environmental performance of the house ensure easy living, add to this the recent renovation, and the ongoing appeal of this great period of Australian architecture is clearly demonstrated. This outstanding residential renovation has been highly acclaimed with multiple published editorials and is providing an exciting and comfortable living environment for its occupants.

Chris Dimond Architect. I have over 22 years of professional experience in all project types. I've worked for small boutique practices, large multi-national practices, builders, government, and most rewardingly in my own practice. I believe good architecture improves life. I also believe that good architecture needn't be expensive. It's not about how much money you spend, it's about maximising the result from the money you are comfortable in spending. I enjoy working for clients that appreciate good design and value the knowledge and experience I bring to their project. Through my residential work in particular, my practice has developed a strong reputation for clear client communication and outstanding design quality. I have a deep appreciation and knowledge of our natural world and changing climatic conditions. This intuitive environmental appreciation is critical to successful architectural design, and strong motivation for my exciting and responsible design concepts.
