Another new design completed in Pascoe Vale South by our team. Creating this home is an exciting experience, where we blend the design with its existing fantastic site context, every angle from forest view is just breathtaking. Our Architecture design for this home puts emphasis on a modern Barn house, where we create a long rectangular form with a cantilevered balcony on 3rd Storey. Overall, the modern architecture form & material juxtaposed with the natural landscape, bringing the best living experience for our lovely client.

This image is a perfect example of the new extension and how it blends seamlessly with the original 1940's part of the home. Red brick to match the existing with a MaxLine feature cladding section, and light well windows.

The side return extension on the ground floor stuns with a unique double-vaulted ceiling. Each vaulted section features a skylight at its peak, bathing the space in a dynamic play of natural light that transforms throughout the day. By utilising a cantilever structure, the open corner is supported without a post, creating a seamless flow between the interior and exterior space when the sliding patio doors on both sides are open. This connection is further amplified by the continuous use of tiles throughout the extension and onto the patio.

This house is a simple elegant structure - more permanent camping than significant imposition. The external deck with inverted hip roof extends the interior living spaces. Photo; Guy Allenby

This terrace house had remained empty for over two years and was in need of a complete renovation. Our clients wanted a beautiful home with the best potential energy performance for a period property. The property was extended on ground floor to increase the kitchen and dining room area, maximize the overall building potential within the current Local Authority planning constraints. The attic space was extended under permitted development to create a master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The palette of materials is a warm combination of natural finishes, textures and beautiful colours that combine to create a tranquil and welcoming living environment.

The centre piece of the works was a single storey ground floor extension that extended the kitchen and usable living space, whilst connecting the house with the garden thanks to the Grand Slider II aluminium sliding doors and a large fixed frame picture window.

Photographer: Andrew Latreille Designed and construction managed by FMSA, the Lucas Residence is an example of a modern coastal architecture. Overlooking Davies Bay the residence is designed to capture the views across Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne city skyline whilst the building form shelters the external deck from the prevailing south westerly winds. Internally, the main living and bedroom spaces are orientated towards the bay utilising expanses of glazing to maintain this visual connection. Natural Ironbark timber cladding, together with panels of untreated zinc and painted sheet panelling are used externally to ground the home in the landscape. Recycled blackbutt flooring, glazing and neutral palette contribute to a warm natural elegance to the interior spaces. The residence was designed to meet the requirements of Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 29. Surrounded by landscaped garden using native grasses and locally indigenous shrubs that surround the building with a finely textured and varied foliage creating privacy where needed and enhancing view corridors to the bay.

Jouant avec les reflets de lumière, la nouvelle peau de zinc Azengar de cette maison traditionnelle initie un dialogue subtil avec son environnement, et lui donne un second souffle. À l’occasion de travaux de rénovation énergétique et de surélévation, le choix de ce matériau est rapidement apparu comme une évidence. À la fois noble et pérenne, utilisable aussi bien en bardage qu’en toiture, l’exploitation de son potentiel a permis un traitement fin des détails de retournement pour créer une enveloppe continue, comme un écrin. La teinte Azengar, douce et naturelle, en plus de réfléchir le contexte, est sensible aux variations d’ambiances et change légèrement de coloration au gré des conditions météorologiques. L’étage est entièrement isolé par l’extérieur, et la modification de charpente côté Nord dégage un nouvel espace, qui est totalement réaménagé. Ce dernier est redivisé en deux parties : la plus importante fait office de salle multimédia (pour le sport, les jeux et l’installation d’un home cinema), tandis que l’autre est transformée en une chambre d'amis d'environ 17 m². Plus qu’une simple séparation, l’élément épais qui les délimite est un véritable meuble intelligent : intégrant tantôt des étagères, tantôt une kitchenette, l’accès à la salle-de-bains ou encore des placards, il répond à de nombreuses fonctions, toutes regroupées en un unique bloc sculpté par les usages. Bien identifiable, en pin maritime contreplaqué, il structure l’espace et lui donne une atmosphère chaleureuse. Afin de rendre l’accès à la chambre d’ami indépendant, un escalier extérieur en métal à deux volées est créé dans le prolongement de l’escalier existant en béton. Orientés plein Sud sur la rue, les panneaux photovoltaïques et les grands Velux exploitent au maximum les apports solaires. Côté jardin au Nord, un ensemble de fenêtres fixes et coulissantes en aluminium occupe quant-à-lui toute la largeur de la partie surélevée, offrant au regard la contemplation d’un paysage boisé.
