The Brisbane suburb of Balmoral is the location for a new duplex commission. The design explores ideas of how the view gradually reveals itself. The entry ramp is curved downward descending into the heart of the home. This narrow corridor is simplistic in its materiality, raw concrete (fire wall), vertically laid timber cladding (private bedroom walls), […]
This prefabricated luxury home was designed for an Indonesian business man and his family over in Jakarta. Indonesia has a prolific timber manufacturing industry to whom our client was and remains closely connected with. His idea was to do something with the huge amount of waste generated from the 24 hour cutting of timber off […]
This is an interesting project. The client picked up three decommissioned modular classrooms from an old school property for $1500 each. His brief to us was to figure out how to break them up and convert them into something interesting. So after an extensive site measure we have completed the schematic design for building two […]
It’s interesting what you find when flicking through old computer files. The Sail House was a home that I designed back in 2002, unfortunately it was never realised. At that stage we didn’t have 3d software, all the images being in elevation and plan only. I thought that it would be interesting to convert it […]

Like the oxygen provided with each breath, we are denied its benefits until we relax and breathe in.” – Stella Payton Spatial flexibility allows one to breathe. The light, the […]
A few months back we posted some images of a house design that marks new pathways for Bleuscape Design. We have attached the same images only with rendering elements applied. A small explanation about the home can be found at http://bleuscape.com.au/blog/the-illusionary-house/ […]
Welcome to the Illusionary House. What is inside is outside, and what is outside in inside. 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 […]
To embark on the process of design and construction can be a daunting journey especially if it is being done for the first time. However, get it right and it can be one of the most rewarding experiences one can do. We are currently working with a brave client that has allowed us to get […]
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 […]
