The Piccoli residence in Griffith has just gone to site. With full on site grey and black water recycling, double glazed low-e doors and windows throughout, near perfect east west orientation and integrated sunshading, all combined with dynamic form, aesthetics and planning. We have a fair idea this is going to be our best residential project to date. We eagerly anticipate the April 2010completion date!

The construction scaffolding is finally coming off our mixed use development in West Leederville, Western Australia, revealing just how close the building is actually coming to realising the intent of the original design drawings. Fingers crossed the finishing will be just as successful.

Our Southport Plaza project officially opened on December 15th with the client throwing a cocktail party on the main terrace. The project has been photographed by Adrian Lambert from Acorn photography and we're really pleased with the result. The bulk of the images are now on the website under projects - southport plaza.

A large cliff top freestanding home is currently under development in the office for a returning client. This is the second home we have been involved in designing for Mr. and Mrs. Hush and we're really happy that they enjoyed the process so much first time around that they've decided to involve us again.

Another joint venture project between Archengine and Darryl Gordon Design has been featured in the latest issue of Inside Out magazine. This project is far more contemporary and minimal than our last feature project, but at the same time has a richer materialirty and arguably an even higher standard of finish. read article

Cameron Smith from Parkzip has recently finished constructing a little jewellery box for us in the Connaught Apartment building at the end of Hyde Park. This is our second apartment in the building and another JV project with our usual partners in crime. These images were shot yesterday by staff using a standard SLR and it look good enough already - we're really looking forward to seeing this professionally photographed with one of Darryl's...

The timber and steel framing is nearing competion and you can already make out the form of the finished building.

Another substantial freestanding house project designed by Archengine is nearing completion in Castlecrag. Nestled at the end of Edinburgh Road with expansive views of Middle Harbour, the site stays true to the modernist ideologies of the original building that occupied the site. The building is scheduled for completion in late June / early July -we'll be sure to post more photos then

Here's some evidence that good design adds a lot more value than just its aesthetic and environmental contributions. Despite only reaching practical completion last week, the owner of this free stading home in Maroubra has already had substantial offers made on the house by random passers by. As always, we have to thank an enlightened client and builder for carrying through the concept.

This quater has seen the development of several new residential alterations and additions projects including the McGree Residence in Kensington, the Fish Residence in Clovelley and the Warwicker Residence in Lewisham. We've also been working on a rear extension to the Quinlan Residence - our very first project, and the traditional starting point of most architectural practicves (the parents house.) The McGree residence shows a natural evolution...

Designed around the concept of creating a second level that was literally invisible from the street, this two storey extension in Bondi Junction has finally been completed by Trico Construction. The finished building is a meticulously detailed and beautifully finished jewellery box that belies its apparently conservative street presence.
