Design of a contemporary style two storey home for a large family. The lightweight Hebel Powerpanel wall system was used extensively which suited the rendered finish and provided a thermal efficient home.

The brief was to design a contemporary garage within the grounds of an existing period home. The low profile curved roof minimises the visual impact on the existing site while all the windows were custom manufactured using recycled Oregon timber.

Design of a contemporary two storey home using thermally efficient materials. The layout of the upper level and external decking is designed to maximise the views from the elevated site above the Murray River valley.

The clients brief was to design a home with a frontage that replicated a decorative period style house. The internal living space is open plan with all the modern luxuries and expansive views to the Murray River.

The design of this house embraces passive solar design with heat gain minimised in summer and maximised in winter – the owners comment how naturally comfortable the house is to live in. The use of zincalume wall sheeting, redgum posts and blue rendered sections of wall complete the external treatment.

The clients brief was to create a modern design that maximised the elevated views of the site and used lightweight construction methods. The north facing open plan living space with high ceiling provides all year round comfort.

This project involved designing a contemporary two storey extension for a Riverland builder. A steel frame roof structure was used to provide the large open plan living space. The deck area provides elevated views of the nearby Murray River.

This large house provides panoramic views of the ocean from both the lower and upper floor living areas.
The external stone walls, red brick quoins/plinths and style mimic a period style home however the interior layout and finish is contemporary. A lift is incorporated into the stairwell for disabled access.

The use of stone walls, quoins, finials, turned veranda posts and bay window on the front elevation replicate the features of a period style home. Internally this theme is maintained in the kitchen and master bedroom, with a outdoor patio area incorporated under the main roof.

The clean lines of the rendered walls, the open plan living spaces with views to the Murray River valley and large outdoor courtyard/patio area all reinforce the contemporary style of this home.
