On the back of his already astonishing body of work we get to see yet another cracker house by Peter Stutchbury! The aptly named ‘Wing House’ with its unique roof lines and raw material palette commands incredible views out over Wategos Beach, Byron Bay. Oh…what lucky clients. Well done Peter and team, this one is […]
The Valentine House is a celebration of journey through habitable bush pavilions. Each structure is spread apart and linked via glass walkways. The space between is met with fixed seats where one can sit and take in a specific view. This is a subtle gesture that provokes contemplation. It is about slowing down and appreciating […]
The practice has recently been experimenting with a new add-on software for Google Sketchup called V-ray. These are some of our early renderings. I love what it does to further sharpen the images. In coming weeks we are going to convert many of our projects into V-ray renders. We look forward to sharing them with you […]

The act of habitation occurs under a canopy of spaces that are engaged with in response to changing weather conditions. The home attempts to offer occupation as a matter of choice rather than through predetermined solution. Over time, it […]
Challenge : To design a house with environmental sensitivity in a typical green-fill subdivision? Introducing the ‘Crossroad Concept’. In essence, the idea draws influence from a reality that we engage with daily; the bitumen cross road. This man-made environment is a space controlled by […]
Biology as the Influencer of Architecture If you take the time to walk outside and look a little closer at nature you will begin to realise that there is a degree of symmetry in what seems like chaos. Take for example the ‘Dracena reflexa’ plant, or ‘Song of India’ as it is known. This is a […]
We are in the final stages of design development for this beach house located in Pottsville, North NSW, Australia. The views are simply sunning, overlooking the ocean to the south and Mt Warning to the south-west. Everything about the form has to do with perspective as seen through the veil of architecture. Feel free to […]
I think buildings either put you to sleep or wake you up. – David Adjaye
Our company is currently engaged in designing a house that is modular in its construction for a site that is defined by strict subdivision parameters. The challenge, from a spatial point of view, is to design appropriately within what is a very ordered environment. We do this by emphasising the courtyard in all different directions. That […]
Architect Doris Kim Sung asks: Why can’t building materials be more adaptable? Why can’t they function more like clothing, or even human skin? Having studied biology at Princeton University intending to go to medical school, Sung applies principles of biology to her work as an assistant professor of architecture at the University of Southern California.
