This wall mounted 6 line clothesline into brick utilises this 2400mm space perfectly. Each bracket is 200mm wide and cables are DUPLEX to withstand the salty winds with the beach only a 5 minute walk away.

This sleek, pavilion-style building contains a trove of high-end features packed into 73m2.

Photographer: Phil Shaw. Our next ehouse®, is breaking new ground. The proposed weekend retreat, located in the Hauraki Gulf will be utilizing a selection of new building technologies to produce a highly performing building. Some so called ECO houses are essentially a standard house with things plugged into them. Our ehouse® is designed to be high performing even without the solar panels! “if it performs well in the first place you don’t need all the expensive high generating devices, because you don’t need them”. This project is aiming to achieve a Homestar rating of 8. This may not sound all that impressive however we intend on achieving this without the use of solar panels, solar hot water or wind generation.

A Proposal for a Boho themed B&B in the Byron hinterland. This B&B worked within the planning guidelines of an Expanded Dwelling which included 3 cabins and, a secondary dwelling and a primary residence.

The job was to replace the aging asbestos-clad holiday bach with a clean-line pragmatic holiday home that had room for a workshop and garage beneath the upper level living space. The result is a subtle update of the old lean-to from the top road to a striking and imposing bastion of solid timber and expansive views from the back-driveway entrance. The client requested the floor to be recycled tongue & grooved boards, sanded and oiled to provide a natural finish, huge areas of glass to access the views, and compact spaces for the bedroom/bathroom. The bach also has a modern twist with the installation of solar panels and Tesla storage battery in the basement making this a very resilient and energy efficient home.

In keeping with the materiality of the wall cladding and the cantilevered design of the building, a simple lightweight aluminium and corrugated metal awning was positioned over the timber entry platform to provide rain shelter. Over the cantilevered timber deck, a retractable awning is placed above the doors to provide sunshade and rain cover. The timber deck is 3.6m x 2.3m, large enough for 4 person dining. It takes advantage of the stunning southerly views to the mountains.
