We were approached by a couple who had purchased a site with the dream of creating a bespoke new private residence for relaxing and entertaining. Briefed to build a “modern but timeless” piece of architecture, we worked closely with the clients to gain an understanding of their needs as a family and to create the right balance of contemporary design within a suburban context, surrounded by as much of the existing mature landscaping as possible.
Decisions were made based on emotional mapping, where we guided the clients through an imagined journey of their home. This informed the design which was honed to work with the physical constraints of the site, resulting in a spacious, contemporary family home that reflects the clients’ aspirations.
