Quality, time, cost… A paradigm that Architects contend with on all projects. However, what sets this project apart was the client, architect and builder’s willingness to embark on the journey to deliver something beautiful on time and on budget.

The brief; deliver a contemporary home for a young professional couple with a young child and a baby on the way. The site features a centrally located established eucalyptus tree. Design brief resolution orientated all habitable spaces towards north and around the tree’s footprint. Externally, cost effective brick and timber cladding, were composed to articulate the home’s façade. Polished concrete, timber floors, terrazzo benchtop and tiles, brickwork blend the interior and exterior materials palette seamlessly.

With the house nearing completion and baby’s third trimester concluding, the race was on. Fortunately, the family was able to bring baby into a finished home that will become the backdrop for many enjoyable years to come.
