Postcards from site – works are well underway on a renovation and restoration of a beach house right on the Indian Ocean in Cottesloe….the home was previously renovated by Odden Rodriguez Architects and the utmost care is being taken to preserve and enhance the best of the existing elements….new terraced steps form a sculptural link and opportunity for seating and display of art between the upper and lower terrace to the rear…. #chindarsiarchitects #beachhouserenovation #perth #newinperth #sitesign #cottesloebeachshack #cottesloe #renovation

Postcards from site – the double-glazed steel window frames have just gone in to this renovation we have been working on in Floreat with the Owners. The slim black grid really works with the stack-bonding of the concrete blocks to reference a timeless Modernism perfect for the rear of this 30’s era character home….. #newinperth #welovewa #perthlife #thisiswa #localdesign #floreat #renovation #chindarsiarchitects #architectslife #steelwindowsanddoors #concreteblocks #besserblocks #midcenturymodern #stackbond

This pair of Italian Cypress Pines frame the modest wire-gate to an old farmhouse in York, Western Australia. Because of their age and height they add amazing drama and scale to this old garden and frame the entry beautifully…. #ideasilike #italiancypress #pairoftrees #guardiantrees #oldcountrygardens #yorkwesternaustralia #thisiswa #weekendinthecountry

Details from site – We enjoy the contrast between traditional and modern elements and the contrast this creates within the houses we design….these lovely terracotta tiles from @ecooutdoor provide beautiful colour and texture and help ground this new home in its Federation Era context of inner city Perth…. #chindarsiarchitects #innercitylife #urbaninfill #perth #smalllot #sitemeeting #newinperth #herringbonepattern #ecooutdoor #terracotta #flushsill
