A forever home.

On a narrow urban site we want to create an oasis of calm with strong connections the sky and tree lines beyond while respecting and preserving the character of the street.

Urban sites

With constrained sites with limited outlooks we work to create our own internal views and vistas - bringing in the sky and patterns of nature whenever we can. Connections to natural elements and rhythms infuse spaces with restorative calm.

Working in 3d

We work natively in 3d from concept stage. Renders and fly-thrus are simply how we communicate and design. This allows for unambiguous dialogue with our clients and stakeholders.

All images here are from our Concept stage of design

The hand sketched concept lays the foundation of the design approach. Here we imagine the house as a small family of simple forms, a series of inhabited shells.

From concept stage we are exploring materials and the use of natural light using our real-time rendering tools to inform decisions. Construction methodologies and rational space allowances are front of mind.
