Tropical Abode, Pole Home Renovation
Mackay, North Queensland, Australia
This beautiful pole home was brought back to life with the addition of a new front entry, updated main bathroom and a 2 storey separate garage with media room above.
The original structure is connected to the new via the original deck.
The goal with this extension was to make the new appear as though it had always been there.
Breezway Altair Louvre Windows have been installed as they open wide to capture the tropical breezes to cool the indoor environment while reducing the need for air conditioning.
This project won the 2015 Master Builders award for Queensland in the category ‘Home Renovation/Remodelling Project up to $275,000’.
Project Date – May 2015

New Boonah House, Stunning Northern Aspect
Boonah House, Stunning Northern Aspect
Boonah, Queensland, Australia
The Boonah House is a simple articulation that presents as a subtle insertion in the steep landscape. The design was conceived as a long rectangular pavilion of a single depth to optimise the northern sunlight and maximise the expansive views of the Great Dividing Range.
A series of operable screens clad the entire front facade of the house, providing the inhabitant with the ability to control their exposure to the natural elements and manipulate the internal environment.
The use of Breezway Louvre Windows provides that sense of spaciousness and allows one to connect with nature. Occupants can also control the amount of air entering the living environment at any given time by angling blades to the desired position while still optimising landscape views.

The Terraced House, Brisbane Post-War Cottage Renovation
The Terraced House, Recalibrated Post War Cottage
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
The Terraced House explores the idea of an articulated landscape creating an elevated courtyard to the side of a recalibrated post-war cottage. The house expresses a tactile palette of materials including blockwork, concrete and timber as a juxtaposition to the original cottage.
New generation Altair Louvre Windows are strategically placed to allow air to easily flow throughout the home. The modern take on a traditional style window also adds to the innovative design of the recalibrated post-war cottage.
