We’re always in progress. Here is where inspiration takes root, the ideas are born and the reality begins to reveal itself.
Magnolia Residence: Outdoor Room – north facing courtyard of the new rear addition to a Federation-Era cottage in North Perth …the oiled cedar roof and window joinery float over heavier concrete face block work walls and flooring creating a beautiful juxtaposition of elements… #cedarcladding #concreteblocks #perthisok #welovewa #perthlife #thisiswa #localdesign #northperth #renovation #chindarsiarchitects #northfacing #environmentallysustainabledesign
A Temple to Dining – this pavilion by architectural god Glenn Murcutt with its heavy sandstone base, vernacular form, light Miesian steel and curtain glass louvre detailing is a masterpiece of classical simplicity, restraint and appropriateness to site. It’s only access is by the Berowra Creek….a must visit! The food was amazing…. #glennmurcutt #australianarchitecture #criticalregionalism #hawkesburyriver #backtonature #architectslife #thingsilike #exploringsydney #localmodernism
Throssell Street Residence, Perth – Sunlight streams into the upper level living spaces from the terrace, blurring the line between inside and outside …. #perthhomedesign #newinperth #pertharchitecture #pertharchitects #residentialarchitecture #oakflooring #switchglass #privacyscreen #chindarsiarchitects #innercitylife #urbaninfill #perth #smalllot #switchableglass #angularform #clerestorywindows #loftstyle #upsidedownliving #ecooutdoor #indooroutdoorliving
Lining up the curves….the arch of the heavy pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (c. 1932) frames and contrasts with the lightness and delicacy of the curved steel bridge truss work…structural clarity at its best…… #thingsilike #sydneyharbourbridge #archway #australiansky #exploringsydney #architecturalheritage #architecturesydney
Face brickwork, normally thought of as heavy, is given a wonderful textured and perforated lightness in this architectural gem by Renato DÉttorre Architects….the small windows are wonderfully composed and playfully defend the home against the western sun… #thingsilike #renattodettorre #exploringsydney #breezeblocks #whitewashedbrick #architecturesydney #thinkbrick
The beautiful glazed shells of Jorn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House (1973) flatten against a Pantone blue sky to produce a profile that is unmistakably Australian….truly a remarkable gift of architecture….. #sydneyoperahouse #operahousesails #thingsilike #australiansky #exploringsydney #jornutzon #architecturalheritage #architecturesydney
Landscape in miniature – beautiful weathered sandstone slab revealing the layers of deep geological time and the power of erosion….a lunar contour map in microcosm…. #thingsilike #inspiringnature #microcontour #exploringsydney #backtonature #designinnature #contourmap #sydneysandstone #detailsinnature
