Your building envelopes are unconventional. They’re
quietly environmental without performing wind-farm
handstands in the process. The post-war ‘beach-shack’
phase has given way to some extraordinarily ill-fitting
and bloated houses that demolish, rather than add,
to an area’s amenity. How you handle clients who
want ‘the beast’?
Pretty simple really – we don't work for them. The time
from meet to move in day can be anywhere from two
to seven years, so we want to 'dance' with partners
who share and enjoy the same music.
Your glazing program is exceptionally generous.
There is something almost hedonistic in this act alone
that celebrates place and setting.
If we hadn’t wanted to capture views and celebrate
the sky, the landscape, the ocean and trees, we would
have used walls. Windows and large areas of glazing
are a natural fit.
