Dulwich Hill Apartments DA
09.05.12 In Progress
We’ve just put up a new Project webpage for the proposed apartment building in Dulwich Hill.
The proposal comprises 19 residential units across two buildings with a generously landscaped communal courtyard at the centre of the proposal allowing all units to orient to north over the street and gardens. The main building entry is located at the communal courtyard providing a welcome homecoming, defined by a generously scaled porch that is clearly visible from the street.

Desert Equinox
02.05.12 Exhibitions
We have been invited to exhibit a work as part of the Desert Equinox exhibition in Broken Hill in September this year. Desert Equinox is timed to coincide with the 2012 spring equinox, and the exhibition is showcasing approximately 16 solar powered artworks to be installed around the desert city of Broken Hill. More information about the show can be found on the Exhibition Blog: [http://desertequinox.squarespace.com/] where you will also be able to follow progress.
The work proposed is titled Music Box Anti-Music Box:
Music Box – Anti-Music Box is the continuation of a body of site specific projects with the illusive as strategy. Further to these projects is an interest in, and examination of, the boundary condition, particularly that of a black hole the Event Horizon. Music Box – Anti-Music Box however departs from the visual response to site explored in the previous works, instead it is a soundscape of and about the sun - a response to the site as aural spatial experience and site as receiver of sunlight and sound.
The title of the work alludes to a scientific theory in which sub-atomic particles and their anti-particle are constantly winking in and out of existence. Given fleeting life until they meet their opposite obliterating one another in an imperceptible and illusive dance of existence. In Music Box – Anti-Music Box conceptually the photon and its anti-photon are translated into an illusive musical refrain, conceivably its brief tune also escaping identification.
Three to five solar armatures, supporting photovoltaics, battery and a mechanical music box dispersed across a site. Streams of photons translated into a flow of electrons translated into fleeting pressure waves: the brief tune bearing witness to its source. An unseen cadence obscures the melody's flow, an audience moving through the site surprised by an illusive refrain only able to grasp the briefest of impressions.
Music Box – Anti-Music Box a paean on the sub-atomic, the illusive and the space of the interior.
Here are a couple of the initial sketches:

Dulwich Hill Row Houses approved
26.03.12 In Progress
A small row housing project we have been working on has just been given Development Approval by Marrickville Council. Construction is slated to commence towards the middle of the year.
The project consolidates properties currently occupied by a ramshackle cottage and two nondescript factory buildings, proposing instead contemporary row houses of high quality and amenity. The layout of the subdivision and the houses takes into consideration the context and streetscape, creating a community of houses with an inhabited north facing frontage whilst minimising the impact on neighbours. The proposed houses are given a generous width whilst minimising depth to maximise natural light and ventilation to the majority of rooms.
Further details can be found on the Dulwich Hill 1 page in Multiple Housing.

What's on our desk?
07.03.12 In Progress
We’re currently working on a couple of nice little apartment buildings.
The first apartment building (below) is located on the south coast of New South Wales. Each apartment has been designed to take best advantage of the spectacular location with great views, plenty of sun, whilst capturing the cooling summer breeze, and protected from the harsher winds the site is subject to. Below are a few snapshots of the sketch models of the work in progress.
Design development has almost been completed on this project located in Sydney’s inner-west. This proposal has been organised on the site to ensure each apartment has a high level of amenity whilst minimising the impact on the neighbours. Each apartment will be sunny with good outlook to the street or to the generous landscaped central courtyard.

Ashfield Alt's & Add's latest Construction shots
25.01.12 Under Construction
Progress has been a little slow on the [Ashfield 2] alterations and additions, but the frame is now all up and form and room sizes are now much easier to visualise. Our clients are very pleased and excited, so we are too. Progress should be much faster now, and we’re all looking forward to seeing it. Here are a few photo’s.
