We were commissioned to create a contemporary single-storey dwelling with four bedrooms, three main living spaces, gym and enough car spaces for up to 8 vehicles/workshop. Due to the slope of the land the 8 vehicle garage/workshop was placed in a basement level which also contained a bathroom and internal lift shaft for transporting groceries and luggage. The owners had a lovely northerly aspect to the front of home and their preference was to have warm bedrooms in winter and cooler living spaces in summer. So the bedrooms were placed at the front of the house being true north and the livings areas in the southern space. All living spaces have east and west glazing to achieve some sun in winter. Being on a 3 acre parcel of land and being surrounded by acreage properties, the rear of the home had magical vista views especially to the east and across the pastured fields and it was imperative to take in these wonderful views and outlook. We were very fortunate the owners provided complete freedom in the design, including the exterior finish. We had previously worked with the owners on their first home in Dural which gave them complete trust in our design ability to take this home. They also hired the services of a interior designer to complete the internal spaces selection of lighting and furniture. The owners were truly a pleasure to design for, they knew exactly what they wanted and made my design process very smooth. Hornsby Council approved the application within 8 weeks with no neighbor objections. The project manager was as passionate about the outcome as I was and made the building process uncomplicated and headache free.

Mit dem Anspruch unter Berücksichtigung aller Anforderungen der Bauherren die beste Wohnplanung für das vorhandene Grundstück und die örtliche Umgebung zu erstellen, entstand ein einzigartiges Gebäude. Drei klar ablesbare Baukörper verbinden sich in einem mittigen Erschließungskern, schaffen Blickbezüge zwischen den einzelnen Funktionsbereichen und erzeugen dennoch ein hohes Maß an Privatsphäre. Die Kombination aus Massivholzelementen, Stahlbeton und Glas verbindet sich dabei zu einer wirtschaftlichen Hybridlösung mit größtmöglichem Gestaltungsspielraum.
