This project provided the opportunity to address the battleaxe block subdivision which too often sees the replacement of an ex-backyard with structures that cover the majority of the site and leave little room for gardens, a poorly defined entry sequence neglecting the home a presence in the neighbourhood and a laneway lost to car parking and solid...

Material
Exterior: A concrete block structure is wrapped in a secondary timber batten skin, with the locally sourced timber creating a warm and tactile materiality that creates a subtle juxtaposition in external finishes. Interior: A focus on unique and hand-crafted finishes is evident throughout – the hand-seeded terrazzo at ground level and oak parquetry to upper levels accentuate the highly considered palette throughout the home. Exposed concrete ceilings and carefully sourced granite, quartzite and travertine provide robust yet rich surfaces, which are accentuated by flourishes of colour and a curation of playfully sophisticated furniture pieces and d contemporary abstract art
