We spent some time with our clients looking for their first development project site. The requirement was for a well-designed and appropriate residential development, as a long-term investment. The location is well suited to families looking to live in this bayside suburb experiencing gentrification. Local demographic research confirmed new and well-designed family homes were in the most demand, and a feasibility study confirmed larger family homes would achieve the best return. The corner location gave us the opportunity to design two individual homes, each with 4 bedrooms and separate living spaces. The client specific requirements were for a low maintenance structure that would serve them for many years to come.

The principal design concept was to create 2 individual homes, with lots of light and views. The windows to each of the spaces are the feature for the spaces, successfully framing views to the street and beyond. The raked ceilings to the first floor ensure northern light fills each corner of the house and create exciting shadow patterns during different times of the day. The living and bedrooms all very light and generous, each with a framing view. Each of the dwellings address the street with distinction, and look perfect in this bayside suburban street.

About the

At BY Projects Architecture, we embrace a quality design approach with client collaboration throughout the design and construction process. From site selection, feasibility studies, urban design and master planning, through all design, interior design and documentation stages for private and public sector developments, we offer total project management services, endeavouring to fully realise the client’s vision.

We are highly skilled architects with a diverse and extensive range of project experience. We have a strong focus on sustainability, accessibility and affordability and a commitment to utilising innovative construction technologies with practical deployment.

We are able to provide expertise for a vast selection of service including creative conceptual designs, feasibility studies, community consultation, and master planning. In essence, BY Projects Architecture is a design-based practice which offers innovative solutions to architectural environments. An architectural design is more than a drawing or a budget. The design of any construction must reflect the client’s aspirations as well as the community it will join. We believe in a collaborative approach to all projects and are committed to every aspect of our design, following a project with close architect consultancy and project management throughout each stage.

The project team is led by Barbara Yerondais, who strongly believes in a collaborative approach to all projects and has nearly 30 years of professional experience.

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.
