In this issue of our newsletter, it is our pleasure to introduce Paul Kilburn of Kilburn Joinery. Paul and his team have been an integral part of developing all manner of solid timber details for our projects over the years, in particular, a new skirting detail that has been designed specifically for an upcoming period home renovation in Armadale.
Earlier this year, B.E was approached by Figurehead to work with them on a new residential project on the corner of Irving and Stanhope Street in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern. Their brief was to develop a new approach to the current multi-residential models on offer in the market place using artisanal materials and traditional building techniques.
This month, we wanted to introduce Sydney based landscape designer Myles Baldwin of Myles Baldwin Design, who we are currently collaborating with on several of our residential projects in Melbourne and Sydney. Myles and his team deliver beautiful gardens that are responsive to the architecture they support and have a uniquely individual approach, rather than one size fits all.
Earlier this month we were honoured to receive a high commendation in the Kevin Borland Masonry category at the Think Brick Awards. The awards encourage innovation and imagination with architects’ use of bricks, blocks, pavers, and roof tiles in their projects. Our Boneo Road Residence was one of 5 projects to receive a high commendation in our category, which features a concrete brick developed specifically for the project by National Masonry.
B.E Architecture is pleased to introduce another of our recently completed projects in Flinders, Victoria, the Boneo Road Residence. The project, which was built primarily from a custom-made brick developed in collaboration with National Masonry, has been nominated in the upcoming ‘Think Brick Awards’. We are looking forward to the presentation of the awards next month!
After much anticipation, construction of our Clifton Street Residence is finally underway. This exciting project, located in the heart of Richmond, is one of several period restoration projects we are currently working on. The design proposal takes full advantage of the sloping site, with city views visible from three sides.
Artwork in a home should not be considered as an extension of the interior or merely as wall adornment. We like to think that a considered work of art or collection should elevate the experience of the viewer, generating thought, conversation, and a sense of engagement with its occupants. Artists such as Pat Brassington fall into the realm of the provocative and encourage conversations that challenge convention.
This month we wanted to share with you one of the products we love and include in our jobs regularly. The ‘Snap-Light’ fitting by Est Lighting was first introduced to us by Est Lighting Director James Zagari a number of years ago, and we have been specifying it in our projects ever since.
B.E Architecture is excited to unveil another of our recently completed projects, the Musk Creek Residence. The newly housed couple and their three very happy dogs now occupy their new home and expansive piece of coastal farmland in Flinders, Victoria.
When appreciating a finished product, interior, or home, one isn’t always aware of the creative problem solving that has occurred in order for things to turn out the way they did. That is to say, things aren’t always as simple as they appear to be… Such was the case when designing the custom water feature or ‘spout’ if you will, for the St Vincents Place Residence.
