Maranatha House / Bijl Architecture

Hana Abdel — Mon, 06 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Maranatha House, situated in Neutral Bay on the lower north shore of Sydney, is a study of layers - material layers, liminal layers, and site layers. It is about peeling back, exposing, renewing, and refining the spatial expression of a house with many histories.

Lacuna House / Bijl Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:00:00 +0000

The Lacuna House embraces a typical suburban brief – to create a haven away from a busy work-life and a safe home in which to raise children and live life. In doing so, the design realizes these common aspirations with a subtle overlaying of functional and aesthetic requirements to create new spaces, flows, and internal views while combatting the negative aspects of the site’s context. By focusing on the lacuna of the site – the unfilled spaces or gaps – the design reconciles built form with the landscape, and places a new pool as the connecting element that brings the site together. Located on Sydney’s leafy north shore, poor local planning decisions had overtime allowed two neighboring properties to compromise the setting for the inter-war dwelling.

Doorzien House / Bijl Architecture

The Doorzien House modestly proffers a new precedent in a challenging conservation environment by breaking rank and dismantling the cottage typology.

GitarrenHaus / BIJL Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 16:00:00 +0000

As the property is in a conservation area characterised by the sandstone and masonry dwellings of Walter Burley-Griffin, it was important to celebrate and improve the expression of the existing dwelling and its own masonry construction.

Burrawong House / Bijl Architecture

Valentina Villa — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 18:00:00 +0000

Set on the edge of a national park, the Burrawong House has undergone a transformation that establishes compelling links between the dwelling and its bushland surrounds, providing opportunities for serenity and retreat. Bijl Architecture was engaged by the owners from the very conception of the project, assisting with identifying an ideal site that captured both tranquillity and suburban amenity.

Escu House / Bijl Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 16:00:00 +0000

Escu House in Sydney’s Belrose presents an open, inviting and contemporary architecture that is intelligent yet simple, and confident yet subtle. Through a program of spatial rearrangement and a layering of joinery and finished elements, Bijl Architecture has completely transformed this 1960s light-coloured brick dwelling into a light-filled, highly functional home that is also warm and welcoming.

Naremburn House / Bijl Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:00:12 +0000

Our clients came to us with a short list of demands: light-filled spaces, no boring square rooms, no two rooms the same, robust, and a place to ‘live long’. The Naremburn House, located in Sydney, Australia, responds to this brief while negotiating site and planning parameters to create a family home with an emphasis on thoughtful spatial planning and a robust materiality – in underpinned by an ‘intentional irregularity’.
