Residential

The project list includes new builds, renovations, extensions and residential interior projects, with examples such as Cambridge Residence by Forté and Pahi House by Pac Studio. These projects can help when considering joinery, benchtop materials, lighting, thresholds and the relationship between living areas and outdoor spaces. In a project on architecture, plans and elevations show how the brief shapes a house’s form and material selection.

Residential work also includes landscape planning and the connection between a house and its garden. Mount Barker House by Condon Scott Architects, Mission Bay by Parkwood Doors and Brick Bay House by Pac Studio represent different approaches to elevations, openings, cladding and the transition to verandah or alfresco areas.

Start with the site constraints, aspect, access and planning requirements, then review how the floor plan supports daily use. Check the envelope, materials and landscape as connected parts of the brief.

They can include room layouts, joinery, finishes, lighting and the specification of fixtures such as tapware. Review how each decision supports storage, maintenance and movement through the home. Bespoke wine rooms for residential projects can be considered as part of the room layout, with joinery and lighting resolved alongside storage needs.

Set the orientation, room relationships, site coverage and main construction system before selecting finishes. Early decisions about windows, structure and services affect comfort, cost and later detailing.
