VISION 43 — THE BLOCK 2017
You have always placed a great emphasis on orchestrating
materials specific for purpose.
If we’re talking about materiality, we’re talking about lifestyle
and sustainability, all of these things are small parts of a very
big picture in any built form. I look at it from the point of view
of fundamental choices along the way. It’s not something
I add at the back end of the project and say ‘how clever was I.
It’s suddenly Green.’ That’s not the case and it’s not going to
work out that way. There’s double brick, exposed metal,
Elemental roof tiles and LightBridge™ – all these things come
together as a holistic design approach.
“With an overall appearance of
design restraint, the houses share
a family resemblance and rhythm
of tradition, solidity and open-plan
living and relaxed lifestyle.”
