Housing
Our approach to design of these buildings considers the detailing of junctions, the connections of members, the juxtaposition of materials and their characteristic long-term behaviours: in short, we provide a full and detailed design service.
And we carry this value engineering approach through to site: recognising the builder's construction preferences, supporting the architectural vision and ensuring the structural integrity is maintained.
After all while monumental and grand buildings such as the Opera House can make us feel uplifted when we visit them, it is our homes that provide a direct connection to architecture. It is here that we are conceived, we grow, play, fight, love, procreate, nurture and shelter – we live our lives.
We are mindful that the shapes, forms and details of a house can positively contribute to the wellbeing and happiness of those who dwell there.
We work with the owners and their architects to make sure the structure will not only perform safely and securely for many generations but also that it will be harmonious with the architecture; that through our understanding and appreciation of the vision and design intent, our structural solutions will add to the creation of a real home.
