The project called for modifications that were sensitive and respectful of the heritage building, whilst elevating the acoustics to a world-class standard.

Después de ver cómo habíamos renovado y reformado la cabaña de playa de su amigo en el lago Burrill, en la costa sur de Nueva Gales del Sur, nuestros clientes nos pidieron que hiciéramos lo mismo con su "inusual" casa en la cercana playa de Mollymook. The Palm Co. Aunque la casa está situada en una parcela plana de 680m², a una manzana de la playa, la vivienda existente presentaba algunas dificultades. En el interior, la casa era oscura, con una comprometida planta de varios niveles que comprendía un dormitorio y medio y ninguna conexión real con el generoso jardín. Extraño sería una forma educada de describir la disposición. The Palm Co. La... Más

The Rachel Foster public housing project has just been completed. This project comprises the adaptive re-use of the historic former Rachel Foster Hospital. The original hospital consisted of a series of 4 early modernist buildings and outdoor spaces in roughly the same configuration as the new scheme. The main building was retained as well as the colonnade of a second building which was incorporated into the new scheme. The project also retained an original circular garden forecourt.

The southern-most building has been retained and re-designed as apartments. We have developed a new façade trea... Más

The River House is an informed assembly of clean lines, warm + textured materials and daring structure all housing a complex brief on a difficult site. The finished product is the result of the collaborative overcoming of many hurdles which ultimately shaped the design as much as the river itself.
