Pilar Caballero — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This project was a renovation and extension to a single fronted, double storey Victorian terrace house in South Melbourne. The existing house was long and narrow, and consisted of a series of dark, dilapidated rooms planned in a linear configuration. In addition, the site had numerous challenges, with limited access, 100‐year‐old two storey brick walls on both long boundaries and a site that sloped away to the rear.

Renovating a semi-detached, single fronted Edwardian terrace house always poses a unique set of challenges. The sites are often long and narrow with a shared party wall on one side and an existing house which can be over 100 years old. The main challenge is always how to create modern, flexible, light-filled spaces with limited site access and a tight budget.

The site is a small 300m2 suburban block in south east Melbourne. The brief was to design a new dwelling to accommodate a family of 4 while also including flexible spaces which can change as the children grow and the needs change. A collection of bikes also needed to be accommodated internally and externally as these are a major form of transport for the family.

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The maritime / dive bar theme for the scheme is a direct response with the bayside suburb of St. Kilda. Recycled timbers recovered from Melbourne’s docklands are used throughout the scheme to form all joinery items and to help create an authentic timeworn aesthetic.

Artist's Studio / Chan Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 01:00:00 +0000

This project is an artist's studio in the backyard of an existing house in Thornbury, which was done in collaboration with Phillip Johnson Landscaping. The brief was to create a beautifully detailed, creative space for painting and sculpturing that would encourage and inspire creativity. The studio was to sit comfortably within an organic landscape design which included a natural pool that did not require chlorine, a waterfall and creek, which was to provide a recreational space for the children.

Fitzroy North Residence / Chan Architecture

Javier Gaete — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This project involved renovating an existing single fronted Edwardian home and adding a rear and first floor extension on a tight site in the inner city suburb of Fitzroy North, Melbourne. There were numerous site constraints, including strict heritage controls, existing neighbouring walls on boundary, difficult soil conditions, tight access, large neighbouring trees and a small west facing block. The response was to create an extension that addressed all these site issues, created light filled, livable spaces whilst still making a statement from the exterior.

Queenscliff Residence / John Wardle Architects

Javier Gaete — Tue, 07 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

This house acts as an optical instrument, a series of devices that frame views beyond the abutting foreshore to the south toward the Heads of Port Phillip Bay. The most significant promenade through the site, and house itself, takes you from the street along a gently stepped path to the entry stair which then elevates you sufficiently to appreciate the view as you arrive at the uppermost level. The careful choreography of this sequence is amplified by materiality and adjacencies. Fine timber detailing alongside the path, woven wicker within the stair and Calacatta marble in the kitchen. The experience on entry is private and cocooned from the exterior. Once above, the views expand and are focussed on the horizon of the ocean to the south.

Abbotsford Residence / Chan Architecture

Sebastian Jordana — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This project involved renovating an existing double fronted Edwardian home and adding a rear and first floor extension on a tight site in the inner city suburb of Abbotsford in Melbourne. Working with numerous site constraints, including an easement running diagonally through the site, large existing trees, a west facing block, site access issues and difficult soil conditions, the response was to create an extension that not only addressed all these issues, but created an integrated solution that responded to these constraints in a creative manner.
