• Modern beachside home completed in 2005
Bronte 1
This new three level dwelling is overlooking Bronte Beach.
It has a central foyer and stairwell with the north-facing wall and roof of glass which creates a light and breezy central core. A sense of privacy is maintained with extensive use of timber and aluminium louvres. The architect's use of curves softens the cube appearance of the exterior, while the interior curves create a seamless transition between the living areas.

• Contemporary refurbishment to a 1960s home
Mosman 1
Substantial rock excavation was carried out under the existing ground floor level creating an entry foyer, rumpus room and swimming pool, with garage and main stair entry at street level.
An existing 1st floor concrete balcony was cantilevered by using structural steel beams tied into the existing external walls. A predominance of stained timber and stonework highlights the internal finishes. The exterior finishes feature sandstone rubble walls and retractable stained timber louvres. This outstanding home was completed in 2006.

The architect created an inspired design to utilize this asymmetrical property to its fullest potential. The complex design emphasized oblique room shapes.
The site management team focused on accuracy from setout and throughout the construction process. Our consultative management style allowed us to refine details through liaison among architect, client and contractors. Using specialist contractors we were able to construct this project as per plan and achieve a high level finish.

• Refurbishment and addition to brick bungalow, completed in 2007
Drummoyne 2
A steep site sloping from street level down to a small beach with a centrally located single storey brick dwelling provided the team with major access issues.
Our plan was to start construction from the lower section and build back up the site finishing with a garage at street level. The front four rooms had to be protected during construction as they had been recently renovated.
Using our process of pre construction planning and ongoing supervision the difficulties were overcome with minimal cost and time implications. As with most renovations, design details need to be adapted to existing site conditions and this project was no exception. With our focus on communication both client and architect were kept abreast of all developments allowing decisions to be taken within a reasonable time frame.
A beautiful expansive family home with quality finishes has been created from an ordinary bungalow on a difficult site.

• contemporary seaside home with a hint of ocean liner styling, completed in 2009
Tamarama
The visual impact of this four storey home is defined by the soft curves of the façade.
It has an exterior that is sympathetic with its surroundings by using a combination of stone, timber, masonry and glass. The entry foyer with its veneered timber screen and stairs are bathed in light filtered through the glazed foyer roof. Large picture windows and balconies reveal stunning views over Bondi Beach and the coastal headlands.
Rock excavation was required to create an underground garage and utility rooms.
