Brief

To design a home on each of the two blocks adjacent to the owners existing home. The blocks had been purchased to have control on the design and location of the potential developments. These two new homes along with the existing home were to each maximise the bay views beyond, without compromising views and privacy of each other.

Challenges & Solutions

The challenges included the slope and the orientation of the sites. The existing slope of the blocks provided a natural tier so one home would sit higher than the other. The solution was to create very flat roofs so each home couldn't cancel each other out, also by seeing over the top, no windows would face each other. To privide compliant private open spaces to the north, private courtyards were located on the street side that maintained privacy and extended the living zones.

Materials

Adbri architectural brick in 'Ebony'. Knotwood Aluminium battens. Spotted Gum cladding and decking.

About the
Professional

At Starbox Architecture - we humanise spaces.

This means creating spaces that promote social interaction, engagement and connection. We focus on spaces individually, collectively and how we experience spatial sequences.

We are driven by the brief, site location, local elements and human value. We believe that working collaboratively alongside clients and consultants with effective communication, ensures that the brief is ultimately addressed and realised. Our designs are individual, site specific and client driven with character, purpose and individuality that are intimately connected to the client.

We respond to the context of the site in a dynamic manner that is both relevant and appropriate to create a built form that is physically beautiful and enriches the lives of it’s occupants pragmatically and aesthetically. We are always conscious of passive environmentally sustainable design principles which include consideration of the material palette and the manner in which the building elements are connected to the surrounding environment. We are a multi-disciplinary practice that has delivered many projects of varying diversity, scale and complexity and has proven capability in both design and delivery.

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.
