We’re always in progress. Here is where inspiration takes root, the ideas are born and the reality begins to reveal itself.

A vision of the future: Albany Wind Farm supplies 80% of the Towns annual electricity needs, and it is awe-inspiring in the landscape. #architectsinspiration #albanywindfarm #windmills #sustainability #visionofthefuture #albany #exploringwesternaustralia #greatsouthern

A view to the past: The Point King Lighthouse stands watch at the entrance to Princess Royal Harbour – it was the first navigational light for the port of Albany and the second lighthouse built on Western Australia’s coastline. Light first shone here on January 1, 1858…. #architectsinspiration #lighthouse #albany #thingsilike #exploringwesternaustralia #ruin #greatsouthern

Magnolia Residence: Outdoor Rooms – the natural fall of the site allowed us to create a secondary more private terrace to the rear of the home. Integrated concrete bench seating, central tree planting, and the lower scale of the home provides a sense of intimacy… #cedarcladding #concreteblocks #perthisok #welovewa #perthlife #thisiswa #localdesign #northperth #renovation #chindarsiarchitects #northfacing #environmentallysustainabledesign
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
