2 Unit Development, Dromana
Point Nepean Road, Dromana
A three unit, single storey development in McCrae, on the Mornington Peninsula.
Concept design for a new Church in Wallan.
A recently completed school campus comprising of seven buildings with supporting infrastructure.
This house was relocated to the Briars site and renovated to demonstrate to the ratepayers how they can practically retrofit their existing houses to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability.
The house demonstrates insulation techniques, glazing, efficient lighting and water use options, rain water harvesting, sealing, solar electricity generation and hot water and all with sustainable, low volatile organic chemical emitting materials.
This extension project exploited two passive principles, an earth linked heat exchanger to moderate incoming air temperature and a solar chimney to exhaust the spent air from the building.
Set in a forested environment in Red Hill, Banksia House provides four suites of accommodation for persons with challenging behaviours. Built from sustainable materials the house has solar hot water, rainwater harvesting, grey and blackwater treatment.
The challenge was to achieve sound insulation between suites with finishes that would resist aggressive use but appear non-institutional.
