We have a unique way of working with our clients. We are a solutions provider, so much more than just being a supplier of architecture and design services. We like to work alongside our clients and other design professionals. This collaborative business culture is geared to smarter ways of operating, enabling us to achieve high standards of delivery and performance within budget and time constraints.
Sustainability is a core component of all our work. Our award winning architects look to maximise the opportunities that a site reveals. This results in buildings that comprise creative environmental, space or cost saving solutions.Balaclava Hat Factory
The much anticipated refurbishment of the old millinery building in Balaclava has begun.
This will be a high end residence for a couple who have a keen interest in sustainable design and a willingness to fully explore the design potential of this old hat factory. Sustainability is a priority as it is with all our projects. Re-use and adaptation is an important aspect of our sustainability approach. For example the old beams will be milled on site and re-used for the new stair treads. Doors have been re-sized and re-used throughout the building. Ceiling foilboard is repurposed as insulation in the walls.
The new space will incorporate luxury design features such a moat, an outdoor bath and a fully brass kitchen. But these are not follies. The building will surpass the exacting environmental requirements that are so often difficult to achieeve when adapting buildings of this type.
We will be exited to showcase the finished project soon.
