A Colorbond roof provides a clean and durable roofing solution, complemented by Hebel sub-flooring for an efficient construction system. Polished concrete floors provide a durable, low-maintenance and visually refined finish, reinforcing the contemporary character of the interior spaces.
Double-glazed windows are incorporated throughout the residence to improve thermal and acoustic performance while maximising natural light and supporting passive ventilation. The extensive glazing also strengthens the connection between the internal living areas, courtyard, landscaped spaces and swimming pool.
The swimming pool forms an integral part of the outdoor environment, providing a private recreational and entertaining space while complementing the architectural form and landscape design.
Overall, the project combines sustainable passive design principles with a robust and sophisticated material palette. The integration of the internal courtyard, skylights, double glazing and natural ventilation creates a comfortable and energy-conscious home, while the masonry, stone and polished concrete elements provide a distinctive and enduring architectural character.

HOUSE @ RUSSELL AVENUE - WAHROONGA
New Split-Level Residence — Russell AvenueThis brand-new split-level residence with a swimming pool at Russell Avenue, NSW, is designed as a spacious contemporary family home that responds sensitively to the site's natural topography. Situated on a significantly sloping block, the design carefully balances the built form, landscape and existing vegetation to create a residence that integrates naturally with its surroundings.
The split-level configuration follows the existing contours of the land, allowing the house to step with the slope and minimise unnecessary site disturbance. The architectural and landscape design have been developed in close coordination to create a cohesive relationship between the residence, outdoor spaces and surrounding landscape.
A key consideration of the project is the retention and protection of existing trees. The building footprint, site planning and landscape design have been carefully positioned to protect the existing trees and their associated Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) and Structural Root Zones (SRZ). This approach helps retain the established landscape character and minimises the impact of the new development on the existing vegetation.
The swimming pool is integrated into the stepped landscape, providing a dedicated outdoor recreation and entertaining area while maintaining the natural character of the site. The relationship between the pool, landscaped areas and residence creates a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The material palette combines robust masonry construction with clean contemporary finishes. Masonry walls provide a durable and timeless architectural expression, complemented by a Colorbond roof and tiled flooring. Aluminium-framed glazed windows are incorporated throughout the residence to maximise natural light, provide visual connections to the landscape and enhance the relationship between the internal and external spaces.
Overall, the project creates a contemporary split-level residence that is carefully embedded within its sloping site. By respecting the existing topography and prioritising the protection of existing trees and their TPZ/SRZ, the design achieves a balanced relationship between architecture, landscape and the natural environment.

HOUSE @ STRONE AVENUE - NORTH WAHROONGA
Knock-Down Rebuild — Split-Level Residence
This knockdown and rebuild project involves the design of a contemporary two-storey residence on a steeply sloping site characterised by significant environmental constraints. Located within bushfire-prone and flood-affected land, the site also presents biodiversity certification and riparian zone considerations due to its proximity to a natural creek at the rear. The architectural approach carefully responds to the site's challenging topography and sensitive natural surroundings, integrating a split-level configuration to follow the existing land contours, optimise views, and minimise unnecessary earthworks.
The design incorporates Dincel walls, brickwork, and Colorbond roofing, combining structural practicality, durability, and contemporary architectural character. The split-level arrangement allows the residence to adapt to changes in ground levels while creating functional living spaces that connect with the surrounding landscape. A key feature of the design is an infinity swimming pool and adjoining jacuzzi, positioned to overlook the rear creek and natural bushland, creating a tranquil outdoor living environment that embraces the site's unique setting.
Environmental sensitivity is central to the project, with the building footprint and site layout carefully considered to retain existing trees and minimise disturbance to established vegetation. The stormwater management strategy aims to maintain natural drainage patterns towards the rear creek while ensuring appropriate water quality controls and compliance with relevant requirements. Particular attention is given to bushfire protection, flood risk, slope stability, erosion and sediment control, and the protection of riparian vegetation and biodiversity values.
Overall, the project demonstrates a site-responsive architectural approach that balances contemporary residential living with environmental responsibility. Through thoughtful split-level planning, carefully selected construction materials, and sensitive integration with the natural landscape, the design seeks to deliver a distinctive home that celebrates its creekside setting while respecting the site's ecological and regulatory constraints
