Playfair House / 43 north architecture

We believe architecture should speak for itself visually, conveying its principles simply by looking at it. We also believe residential architecture should be tailored to the client, not just their brief, but also their personality. With the Playfair project, we got lucky. The clients were adventurers at heart, outdoor people, even Australian MTB champions. Somewhat tamed by years of raising children in suburbia, they sold their 5-bedroom house and bought an empty plot near the beach. This was going to be just for them, and it was never going to look like the other houses in the street. In fact, they would probably be just as happy in a tent. To enable future adventures, the project had to be delivered on a strict budget.

River of Life, Curl Curl House / Sandbox Studio

Bringing natural light inward and allowing it to dance internally throughout the day, River of Life is deeply connected within its natural setting. As a testament to sustainable living and the need for the notion of the home to be a place of refuge for the owners, the entirely new build occupies its site with both a restrained and intentional philosophy. Responding to both past and present, the form also acknowledges and embraces the natural elements at its disposal. Focussing on an overall light composition and feel, the sum of its parts creates a calm place to both disengage and restore. The robustness of the base materials also offers a balance to the overall lightness, grounding the home.

Curl Curl Residence / CplusC Architectural Workshop

The Curl Curl House was an exercise in material, time, and cost efficiency. A specific project brief included two bedrooms with built-in robes, bathroom/laundry, an open plan dining, kitchen, living space, and a deck. The Client also required that the home was to be at one level extending from the carport and main entrance.
