Elwood Residence / BE Architecture

Hana Abdel — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 20:00:00 +0000

Our work is ultimately about people. Our houses are designed to reflect our client’s particular character, history, and story. The renovation and extension to a heritage Edwardian terrace at Ruskin Street bring this narrative full circle, as we completed this project for the child of one of our earliest residential clients from 25 years ago. This ongoing relationship with a client and their family made this project truly special for our office.

A new building, with a garage, gym, and swimming pool, is designed to support and reflect the health and fitness ideals of an active family of four.

Silhoutte Hytte House / FIGR Architecture & Design

Paula Pintos — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Nestled in the quiet streets of Elwood, Victoria Australia, ‘Silhouette Hytte’ House is located on a narrow 210m2 block. The site is 34.4m long by 6.1m wide and has an East facing backyard. Presented with a number of challenging constraints such as a heritage overlay, flood overlay and close proximity of neighboring trees, the project required a carefully considered design response to achieve the clients ambitious brief.

Elwood House / Splinter Society

Andreas Luco — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +0000

A carefully crafted renovation of a much-treasured Californian Bungalow, the Elwood House focuses on enhancing the original character of the structure and enriching the experiences in the house. Drawing on the owner’s diverse range of personal objects, interests, places of travel, this home is rich in both narrative and texture.

Elwood House / STAR Architecture

Rayen Sagredo — Fri, 22 Dec 2017 20:00:00 +0000

Elwood House of Heaton Avenue sits within a tree-lined streetscape that comprises a mix of contemporary and heritage buildings within a council heritage overlay - predominantly Californian bungalows with red brick façades and terracotta tiled roofs, set back from the street with formal gardens and timber fences. Prior to renovation, Elwood House was a tired, 100-year-old example of these in poor condition but with bones intact. The client, who valued the history and style of the building wanted to invest in its retention and restoration. Details such as tuckpointing of façade brickwork, new cobbled bluestone driveway, reinstated timber fence and formal geometric front garden designed by Lachie Anderson Landscapes has strengthened the heritage fabric of the street.

Elwood Residence / SJB

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 17:00:00 +0000

While the brief for this project included a specific aesthetic, the uniqueness of this home is extraordinary. Residing in an inner suburb of Melbourne, the sculptural form of the house has been inserted into the residential landscape, with a cantilevered upper-floor clad in aluminium slats, the day-time presence is that of a textured and patinated container over glass. At night, however, when lit from within, the upper floor becomes a lantern, while the lower floor falls away to give the impression of a single sculptural form floating in the night sky.

Elwood Townhouse / InForm

Daniela Cardenas — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:00:00 +0000

A concrete party wall extends the entire length of the townhouse, separating it from its neighbour (it is one in a row of three) and visually connecting the front entry to the rear courtyard garden.

Beach Ave / Schulberg Demkiw Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Sat, 29 Aug 2015 19:00:00 +0000

On an extremely small parcel of land this spacious structure appears as a joinery item, internally integrating concrete, hoop-pine and Tallowwood. This contrast establishes a warm yet polished atmosphere throughout. The translucent floor to the ground level courtyard creates a light filled flexible work/living space in the basement.

The Milton / Biasol

Cristian Aguilar — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:00:08 +0000

Located in the popular bayside suburb of Elwood, The Milton exemplifies the ongoing gentrification of the area and it’s rich literary and architectural history. Characterised by the grand array of Victorian, Edwardian and Interwar architecture, Elwood has become synonymous with the classics. Named after one of the iconic British literary figures, which define Elwood’s streets, at The Milton. Inspired by this local sentiment, we developed a bespoke brand that evoked a sense of intrigue and old world charm, yet still felt familiar.

Elwood House / Preston Lane

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 17 Feb 2015 01:00:00 +0000

Elwood House features the adaptive reuse and transformation of a cold, dark and inefficient 1915 Edwardian house into a warm and light filled family home that has direct connections to the outside.

Elwood House / Robert Nichol & Sons

Daniel Sánchez — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The existing home had extremely poor orientation, ventilation and connection to its surroundings. The resolution of these qualities in the extension was to embrace the northern aspect to the rear of the block privileging light, ventilation and the blurred delineation of interior and exterior.

Ormond Road Apartments / Jost Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Sat, 10 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The Ormond Road Apartments, a small residential development located in the popular Melbourne bayside suburb of Elwood, sits within the established shopping & café precinct of Ormond Road near Port Phillip Bay. It is made up of two commercial tenancies opening to the street, and ten one and two bedroom units that extend over and down a traditional, urban Melbourne bluestone lane.

Mosh House /Foomann Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The extension to the Mosh House is an assembly of simple forms designed to embrace the outdoors.

Elwood Townhouses / McAllister Alcock Architects

Javier Gaete — Fri, 24 May 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The brief was to develop 2 existing house sites with 4 townhouses while minimising the impact on the environment. Our client Mick is a local who had lived in one of the existing houses, and wanted to make a contribution to the suburb he loves. Rather than use complex ‘active systems’ to meet the ESD brief, we took the approach that the DNA of the building needed to be based on a sustainable ideology. This was a two prong approach: the first was to engage a design and construction team who were based locally, cared about the area (a ‘think global, act local’ approach), and the second was to ensure that the building itself worked well ‘passively’ to minimise the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting - all without compromising the architecture. The outer residences have ‘traditional’ townhouse plans with living at the lower level and bedrooms upstairs.
