Projects:
Residential
Castle Cove, NSW, 2002
This house has been designed to impact as little as possible on the natural surroundings. Flooring floats above the bushland environment and passive design techniques and low energy technology is employed for all services including space and hot water heating and partial air conditioning. The house was constructed on a steeply sloping, north facing bushland site at Castle Cove. Rather than using the usual approach of sheeting the site with concrete to form a driveway, the garage and the entry are located at the same level as the access road and a cut-and-cover tunnelling technique is used to bury the entry and the garage. An elevator from the garage and entry level, a travel distance of 9m, accesses the living areas. Rather than the more conventional method of cutting and filling the site and ‘planting’ the building in it, the upper two levels of the house ‘float’ above the landscape. The construction of the house comprises a lightweight, exposed steel frame with steel pan structural floors and roof topped with concrete. The structural steel columns are the only elements that touch the ground.
