<p>A renovation and extension to an existing, tiny (60sq.m.) old home on a vey small site at Red Hill (inner Brisbane).</p>
<p>It was an exercise in making internal space, landscape, privacy, views, breezes, sunlight, water storage and overland water flows. Low cost, low tech, humble model for sustainability.</p>
<p>The street is steep, very steep, on the eastern side of a hill that forms one side of the top of a valley that flows down through Paddington and Lang Park.</p>
<p>The site, located half way down the hill, is small, even for the area and densely vegetated. It runs north from the street falling to a small gully and rising again. This means the site is shaded from the north-west. The house down the hill is set well back in its site and combined with the vegetation on the site forms a hidden place in the back yard. The set back neighbour also allows long views to the south-east: the Milton/Toowong reach of the Brisbane River (including Lang Park and the XXXX brewery).</p>
<p>The set back neighbours concreted front yard, rendered concrete blockwork fencing, along with remotely operated electric security gates, attempts to bring some Carseldine or Shailer Park (wealthy outer Brisbane suburbs) civilisation to this wild part of Red Hill.</p>
<p>The extension includes a hallway, bedroom and bathroom and deck at the upper level and a studio space and patio below. Stairs separate the old and new with no change to the planning of the old. The habitable rooms look into the private, hidden space within the site. The deck also accesses the long views to the south-east over the neighbouring concrete front yard below. From the patio the rainwater tank provides privacy from and to the neighbours front veranda and hides the washing away. The tank also tightens divide between the public and private parts of the site as well as managing stormwater flows and storing water for toilet flushing and garden watering. One tank can go a long way.</p>
<p>The extension has a significant impact on the street. It says a lot to the street, speaking across the neighbour’s front yard - the stairwell, with a wall of transparent polycarbonate, is like big lantern at night. Ironically perhaps, no town-planning approval was needed because the extension does not appear in front (street) elevation drawings of the old and new.</p>
<p>Materially, the project is an exercise in humility, making the most out of the ordinary (pine weatherboards, fibro, zincalume corrugated steel) and making the most out of special materials (Iron Bark, Hoop Pine Veneered Plywood) in the right places. Doors and widows are second hand except for the ledged and braced doors and shutters make by the architect (Hoop Pine and recovered Queensland Red Cedar and Rosewood). No plasterboard is used. The plywood lining was not much more expensive because it eliminated a wet trade with its mess.</p>
<p>Material use is minimised by carefully designing spaces to tightly fit their use and form a simple structural geometry. The new bathroom is 1.8m x 1.5m but includes a WC pan, bath/shower and hand basin. The secret is a wide sliding panel that allows it to open to the hallway and onto the deck. Small spaces are tall or given big openings so that they can reach up and/or out, connecting to the sky, through the tree canopy, and the hidden back yard.</p>
<p>Making use of views, light and relative scale is at least as important as the physical dimensions in making the spaciousness of a room or place (within a place, within a place …).</p>

<p>The 34 studio apartment building, which includes 5 disability accessible studios, is the third and final stage of the Lady Bowen Complex at Spring Hill.</p>
<p>The client’s key requirements for this project was to:<br /> - provide as many low cost, affordable housing for the homeless and disadvantaged on the site as possible. The design yielded 20% more units than what was previously anticipated for the site.<br /> -design a building that would respond to the Wickham Terrace streetscape- a heritage listed building to the west and a ‘modernist’ apartment building to the east.</p>
<p>The basis of the plan is a series of small, simple bedsit studios off an internal street. The street provides ventilation, safe circulation and views (especially south to and across to Roma Street parklands). The approach provides articulation of the building mass relating it abstractly to the adjacent heritage buildings (as they will when the verandas re-instated). Environmentally sustainable principles such as passive thermal design, water storage and energy use were designed into this apartment building. The response from the client has been positive from a livability and maintenance point of view.</p>',

<p>A simple sustainable and sustaining house on a small lot in inner suburban Brisbane (subtropical). Close to a busy road but tucked away with a park across the street.</p>
<p>With the clients we explored (and argued about) a broad range of the dimensions of sustainable living: material toxicity, transport, energy, water, food production. Priorities were explored, considering especially the urban context, to generate an integrated design and a house that is easy and joyful to live in and which brings some of that joy to the street.</p>
<p>The house incorporates, in plan and section, a design and sculpture studio.</p>
<p>The front of the house faced the park and looks west. Like so much of Brisbane, that’s where the best views are.</p>
<p>Close neighbours to the north and south present some privacy and overlooking issues. There are large Camphor Laurels in the backyard, to the east.</p>
<p>In this context the family wanted an economical sustainable-as-possible house accommodating them and a studio/workshop/gallery so that income is generated at home.</p>
<p>Passive climate control, energy efficiency, solar energy and hot water, self-sufficiency for water supply, a permaculture garden, efficient use of materials, use of recycled materials (the Camphor Laurels used for joinery, benches, stairs and shelves), grey water re-use, low-toxicity materials and finishes, working at home: make this a useful model of simple sustainability and most importantly, a very nice place to live.</p>',

In line with the consultative process, the units were presented to the local community in an open forum consultation.</p>
<p>Good residential architecture involves the consideration of a wide range of community and environmental issues. Our design process enables us to gather and overlay knowledge gained from community consultation over the expertise we process as architects.</p>
<p>The Project includes a number of sustainable and sustaining practices and technologies: site collection and soakage of stormwater, collection of roof water, locally endemic plantings, design for optimal passive thermal performance, solar hot water site responsive privacy and sun screening, design for disability access and design for buildability and efficient use of materials.</p>
<p>As part of the consultation period, drawings were prepared to show how the new buildings fit into the local urban context, and how they respond to social and community issues. Feedback from the final rounds of consultation were reviewed and responded to before construction drawings began.</p>

<p>These houses have a unique identity generated by careful consideration of environmental issues during the design process. The intention was to question the "usual", look closely at performance and construction and provide the best, not necessarily the standard, economical outcomes.</p>
<p>Philosophically the design approach is based on simplicity (which does not mean a lack of sophistication), honesty, clarity, appreciation of natural processes and valuing (i.e. appreciating) the materials and spaces around us. The houses are not intended as commodities but as the products of honest thought and making (see Practice>Philosophy>Shibui, Henry David Thoreau etc).</p>
<p>It is important to note that the design responses to the issues of energy, materials and water and the interactions between them, largely generated the aesthetics of the place. That is, the forms, textures, patterns and colours of the houses have a basis in practical decisions rather than stylistic ones.</p>
<p>The houses and the place they form are consequently intended to communicate, explicitly and implicitly, the underlying environmental issues on which the design is based.</p>',

<p>The 34 studio apartment building, which includes 5 disability accessible studios, is the third and final stage of the Lady Bowen Complex at Spring Hill.</p>
<p>The client’s key requirements for this project was to:<br /> - provide as many low cost, affordable housing for the homeless and disadvantaged on the site as possible. The design yielded 20% more units than what was previously anticipated for the site.<br /> -design a building that would respond to the Wickham Terrace streetscape- a heritage listed building to the west and a ‘modernist’ apartment building to the east.</p>
<p>The basis of the plan is a series of small, simple bedsit studios off an internal street. The street provides ventilation, safe circulation and views (especially south to and across to Roma Street parklands). The approach provides articulation of the building mass relating it abstractly to the adjacent heritage buildings (as they will when the verandas re-instated). Environmentally sustainable principles such as passive thermal design, water storage and energy use were designed into this apartment building. The response from the client has been positive from a livability and maintenance point of view.</p>',

<p>A simple sustainable and sustaining house on a small lot in inner suburban Brisbane (subtropical). Close to a busy road but tucked away with a park across the street.</p>
<p>With the clients we explored (and argued about) a broad range of the dimensions of sustainable living: material toxicity, transport, energy, water, food production. Priorities were explored, considering especially the urban context, to generate an integrated design and a house that is easy and joyful to live in and which brings some of that joy to the street.</p>
<p>The house incorporates, in plan and section, a design and sculpture studio.</p>
<p>The front of the house faced the park and looks west. Like so much of Brisbane, that’s where the best views are.</p>
<p>Close neighbours to the north and south present some privacy and overlooking issues. There are large Camphor Laurels in the backyard, to the east.</p>
<p>In this context the family wanted an economical sustainable-as-possible house accommodating them and a studio/workshop/gallery so that income is generated at home.</p>
<p>Passive climate control, energy efficiency, solar energy and hot water, self-sufficiency for water supply, a permaculture garden, efficient use of materials, use of recycled materials (the Camphor Laurels used for joinery, benches, stairs and shelves), grey water re-use, low-toxicity materials and finishes, working at home: make this a useful model of simple sustainability and most importantly, a very nice place to live.</p>',

'content' => '<p>Gall and Medek Architects were selected, in 1999, to design units to accommodate aged tenants for the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Housing Portfolio (ATSIHP). The client body also used their own construction team to build the project.</p>
<p>As these types of units had never been designed or built before, the design process required intensive consultation with both the future tenants and the ATSIHP construction teams. In line with the consultative process, the units were presented to the local community in an open forum consultation.</p>
<p>Good residential architecture involves the consideration of a wide range of community and environmental issues. Our design process enables us to gather and overlay knowledge gained from community consultation over the expertise we process as architects.</p>
<p>The Project includes a number of sustainable and sustaining practices and technologies: site collection and soakage of stormwater, collection of roof water, locally endemic plantings, design for optimal passive thermal performance, solar hot water site responsive privacy and sun screening, design for disability access and design for buildability and efficient use of materials.</p>
<p>As part of the consultation period, drawings were prepared to show how the new buildings fit into the local urban context, and how they respond to social and community issues. Feedback from the final rounds of consultation were reviewed and responded to before construction drawings began.</p>
<p>Detail Design and Documentation involved a cooperative relationship with the builder and continued involvement with the client over the period of construction.</p>',

<p>These houses have a unique identity generated by careful consideration of environmental issues during the design process. The intention was to question the "usual", look closely at performance and construction and provide the best, not necessarily the standard, economical outcomes.</p>
<p>Philosophically the design approach is based on simplicity (which does not mean a lack of sophistication), honesty, clarity, appreciation of natural processes and valuing (i.e. appreciating) the materials and spaces around us. The houses are not intended as commodities but as the products of honest thought and making (see Practice>Philosophy>Shibui, Henry David Thoreau etc).</p>
<p>It is important to note that the design responses to the issues of energy, materials and water and the interactions between them, largely generated the aesthetics of the place. That is, the forms, textures, patterns and colours of the houses have a basis in practical decisions rather than stylistic ones.</p>
<p>The houses and the place they form are consequently intended to communicate, explicitly and implicitly, the underlying environmental issues on which the design is based.</p>',

<p>A renovation and extension to an existing, tiny (60sq.m.) old home on a vey small site at Red Hill (inner Brisbane).</p>
<p>It was an exercise in making internal space, landscape, privacy, views, breezes, sunlight, water storage and overland water flows. Low cost, low tech, humble model for sustainability.</p>
<p>The street is steep, very steep, on the eastern side of a hill that forms one side of the top of a valley that flows down through Paddington and Lang Park.</p>
<p>The site, located half way down the hill, is small, even for the area and densely vegetated. It runs north from the street falling to a small gully and rising again. This means the site is shaded from the north-west. The house down the hill is set well back in its site and combined with the vegetation on the site forms a hidden place in the back yard. The set back neighbour also allows long views to the south-east: the Milton/Toowong reach of the Brisbane River (including Lang Park and the XXXX brewery).</p>
<p>The set back neighbours concreted front yard, rendered concrete blockwork fencing, along with remotely operated electric security gates, attempts to bring some Carseldine or Shailer Park (wealthy outer Brisbane suburbs) civilisation to this wild part of Red Hill.</p>
<p>The extension includes a hallway, bedroom and bathroom and deck at the upper level and a studio space and patio below. Stairs separate the old and new with no change to the planning of the old. The habitable rooms look into the private, hidden space within the site. The deck also accesses the long views to the south-east over the neighbouring concrete front yard below. From the patio the rainwater tank provides privacy from and to the neighbours front veranda and hides the washing away. The tank also tightens divide between the public and private parts of the site as well as managing stormwater flows and storing water for toilet flushing and garden watering. One tank can go a long way.</p>
<p>The extension has a significant impact on the street. It says a lot to the street, speaking across the neighbour’s front yard - the stairwell, with a wall of transparent polycarbonate, is like big lantern at night. Ironically perhaps, no town-planning approval was needed because the extension does not appear in front (street) elevation drawings of the old and new.</p>
<p>Materially, the project is an exercise in humility, making the most out of the ordinary (pine weatherboards, fibro, zincalume corrugated steel) and making the most out of special materials (Iron Bark, Hoop Pine Veneered Plywood) in the right places. Doors and widows are second hand except for the ledged and braced doors and shutters make by the architect (Hoop Pine and recovered Queensland Red Cedar and Rosewood). No plasterboard is used. The plywood lining was not much more expensive because it eliminated a wet trade with its mess.</p>
<p>Material use is minimised by carefully designing spaces to tightly fit their use and form a simple structural geometry. The new bathroom is 1.8m x 1.5m but includes a WC pan, bath/shower and hand basin. The secret is a wide sliding panel that allows it to open to the hallway and onto the deck. Small spaces are tall or given big openings so that they can reach up and/or out, connecting to the sky, through the tree canopy, and the hidden back yard.</p>
<p>Making use of views, light and relative scale is at least as important as the physical dimensions in making the spaciousness of a room or place (within a place, within a place …).</p>
<p>Water and energy use are low, but that goes with the humility with which the project was approached by all: its as much a social problem as it is a physical one, perhaps even more. That does not take it out of the realm of design … another story.</p>
<p>The detail design was worked out on site. But it also pre-existed in the minds of the architect and the builder having worked together for some time. Much of the detail documentation produced and complex arrangements entered into by architects are measures of their mistrust.</p>',

<p>The 34 studio apartment building, which includes 5 disability accessible studios, is the third and final stage of the Lady Bowen Complex at Spring Hill.</p>
<p>The client’s key requirements for this project was to:<br /> - provide as many low cost, affordable housing for the homeless and disadvantaged on the site as possible. The design yielded 20% more units than what was previously anticipated for the site.<br /> -design a building that would respond to the Wickham Terrace streetscape- a heritage listed building to the west and a ‘modernist’ apartment building to the east.</p>
<p>The basis of the plan is a series of small, simple bedsit studios off an internal street. The street provides ventilation, safe circulation and views (especially south to and across to Roma Street parklands). The approach provides articulation of the building mass relating it abstractly to the adjacent heritage buildings (as they will when the verandas re-instated). Environmentally sustainable principles such as passive thermal design, water storage and energy use were designed into this apartment building. The response from the client has been positive from a livability and maintenance point of view.</p>',

<p>A simple sustainable and sustaining house on a small lot in inner suburban Brisbane (subtropical). Close to a busy road but tucked away with a park across the street.</p>
<p>With the clients we explored (and argued about) a broad range of the dimensions of sustainable living: material toxicity, transport, energy, water, food production. Priorities were explored, considering especially the urban context, to generate an integrated design and a house that is easy and joyful to live in and which brings some of that joy to the street.</p>
<p>The house incorporates, in plan and section, a design and sculpture studio.</p>
<p>The front of the house faced the park and looks west. Like so much of Brisbane, that’s where the best views are.</p>
<p>Close neighbours to the north and south present some privacy and overlooking issues. There are large Camphor Laurels in the backyard, to the east.</p>
<p>In this context the family wanted an economical sustainable-as-possible house accommodating them and a studio/workshop/gallery so that income is generated at home.</p>
<p>Passive climate control, energy efficiency, solar energy and hot water, self-sufficiency for water supply, a permaculture garden, efficient use of materials, use of recycled materials (the Camphor Laurels used for joinery, benches, stairs and shelves), grey water re-use, low-toxicity materials and finishes, working at home: make this a useful model of simple sustainability and most importantly, a very nice place to live.</p>',

In line with the consultative process, the units were presented to the local community in an open forum consultation.</p>
<p>Good residential architecture involves the consideration of a wide range of community and environmental issues. Our design process enables us to gather and overlay knowledge gained from community consultation over the expertise we process as architects.</p>
<p>The Project includes a number of sustainable and sustaining practices and technologies: site collection and soakage of stormwater, collection of roof water, locally endemic plantings, design for optimal passive thermal performance, solar hot water site responsive privacy and sun screening, design for disability access and design for buildability and efficient use of materials.</p>
<p>As part of the consultation period, drawings were prepared to show how the new buildings fit into the local urban context, and how they respond to social and community issues. Feedback from the final rounds of consultation were reviewed and responded to before construction drawings began.</p>

<p>These houses have a unique identity generated by careful consideration of environmental issues during the design process. The intention was to question the "usual", look closely at performance and construction and provide the best, not necessarily the standard, economical outcomes.</p>
<p>Philosophically the design approach is based on simplicity (which does not mean a lack of sophistication), honesty, clarity, appreciation of natural processes and valuing (i.e. appreciating) the materials and spaces around us. The houses are not intended as commodities but as the products of honest thought and making (see Practice>Philosophy>Shibui, Henry David Thoreau etc).</p>
<p>It is important to note that the design responses to the issues of energy, materials and water and the interactions between them, largely generated the aesthetics of the place. That is, the forms, textures, patterns and colours of the houses have a basis in practical decisions rather than stylistic ones.</p>
<p>The houses and the place they form are consequently intended to communicate, explicitly and implicitly, the underlying environmental issues on which the design is based.</p>',

Located in the wide open spaces of the hills of West Chermside: our attempt at The Garden City (Suburb) when there was lots of land, not that many people and petrol was about 9c a litre (at your local Esso -"put a tiger in your tank").</p>
<p>The kitchen was beautifully made in Blackbean (<em>Castanospermum australe) </em>veneer and white "laminex", but tired and worn.</p>
<p>The house had some decay externally and fine-tuning was needed to improve the plan.</p>
<p>The kitchen was fully replaced in Laminex, stone, Blackwood (<em>Acacia melanoxylon)</em> and Queensland Maple (<em>Flindersia brayleyana)</em> veneers. The connection to a north Patio from the Kitchen was opened up (servery window and sliding door).</p>
<p>A Queensland Maple screen was placed to better define the formal Dining space. Part of it is solid to provide a backing for a beautiful antique Queensland Red Cedar (<em>Toona australis</em>) side table.</p>
<p>The study, with its beautiful modern joinery in Queensland Maple and silk, was transformed by adding a window in the right spot.</p>',

<p>A renovation and extension to an existing, tiny (60sq.m.) old home on a vey small site at Red Hill (inner Brisbane).</p>
<p>It was an exercise in making internal space, landscape, privacy, views, breezes, sunlight, water storage and overland water flows. Low cost, low tech, humble model for sustainability.</p>
<p>The street is steep, very steep, on the eastern side of a hill that forms one side of the top of a valley that flows down through Paddington and Lang Park.</p>
<p>The site, located half way down the hill, is small, even for the area and densely vegetated. It runs north from the street falling to a small gully and rising again. This means the site is shaded from the north-west. The house down the hill is set well back in its site and combined with the vegetation on the site forms a hidden place in the back yard. The set back neighbour also allows long views to the south-east: the Milton/Toowong reach of the Brisbane River (including Lang Park and the XXXX brewery).</p>
<p>The set back neighbours concreted front yard, rendered concrete blockwork fencing, along with remotely operated electric security gates, attempts to bring some Carseldine or Shailer Park (wealthy outer Brisbane suburbs) civilisation to this wild part of Red Hill.</p>
<p>The extension includes a hallway, bedroom and bathroom and deck at the upper level and a studio space and patio below. Stairs separate the old and new with no change to the planning of the old. The habitable rooms look into the private, hidden space within the site. The deck also accesses the long views to the south-east over the neighbouring concrete front yard below. From the patio the rainwater tank provides privacy from and to the neighbours front veranda and hides the washing away. The tank also tightens divide between the public and private parts of the site as well as managing stormwater flows and storing water for toilet flushing and garden watering. One tank can go a long way.</p>
<p>The extension has a significant impact on the street. It says a lot to the street, speaking across the neighbour’s front yard - the stairwell, with a wall of transparent polycarbonate, is like big lantern at night. Ironically perhaps, no town-planning approval was needed because the extension does not appear in front (street) elevation drawings of the old and new.</p>
<p>Materially, the project is an exercise in humility, making the most out of the ordinary (pine weatherboards, fibro, zincalume corrugated steel) and making the most out of special materials (Iron Bark, Hoop Pine Veneered Plywood) in the right places. Doors and widows are second hand except for the ledged and braced doors and shutters make by the architect (Hoop Pine and recovered Queensland Red Cedar and Rosewood). No plasterboard is used. The plywood lining was not much more expensive because it eliminated a wet trade with its mess.</p>
<p>Material use is minimised by carefully designing spaces to tightly fit their use and form a simple structural geometry. The new bathroom is 1.8m x 1.5m but includes a WC pan, bath/shower and hand basin. The secret is a wide sliding panel that allows it to open to the hallway and onto the deck. Small spaces are tall or given big openings so that they can reach up and/or out, connecting to the sky, through the tree canopy, and the hidden back yard.</p>
<p>Making use of views, light and relative scale is at least as important as the physical dimensions in making the spaciousness of a room or place (within a place, within a place …).</p>
<p>Water and energy use are low, but that goes with the humility with which the project was approached by all: its as much a social problem as it is a physical one, perhaps even more. That does not take it out of the realm of design … another story.</p>
<p>The detail design was worked out on site. But it also pre-existed in the minds of the architect and the builder having worked together for some time. Much of the detail documentation produced and complex arrangements entered into by architects are measures of their mistrust.</p>',

<p>The 34 studio apartment building, which includes 5 disability accessible studios, is the third and final stage of the Lady Bowen Complex at Spring Hill.</p>
<p>The client’s key requirements for this project was to:<br /> - provide as many low cost, affordable housing for the homeless and disadvantaged on the site as possible. The design yielded 20% more units than what was previously anticipated for the site.<br /> -design a building that would respond to the Wickham Terrace streetscape- a heritage listed building to the west and a ‘modernist’ apartment building to the east.</p>
<p>The basis of the plan is a series of small, simple bedsit studios off an internal street. The street provides ventilation, safe circulation and views (especially south to and across to Roma Street parklands). The approach provides articulation of the building mass relating it abstractly to the adjacent heritage buildings (as they will when the verandas re-instated). Environmentally sustainable principles such as passive thermal design, water storage and energy use were designed into this apartment building. The response from the client has been positive from a livability and maintenance point of view.</p>',

<p>A simple sustainable and sustaining house on a small lot in inner suburban Brisbane (subtropical). Close to a busy road but tucked away with a park across the street.</p>
<p>With the clients we explored (and argued about) a broad range of the dimensions of sustainable living: material toxicity, transport, energy, water, food production. Priorities were explored, considering especially the urban context, to generate an integrated design and a house that is easy and joyful to live in and which brings some of that joy to the street.</p>
<p>The house incorporates, in plan and section, a design and sculpture studio.</p>
<p>The front of the house faced the park and looks west. Like so much of Brisbane, that’s where the best views are.</p>
<p>Close neighbours to the north and south present some privacy and overlooking issues. There are large Camphor Laurels in the backyard, to the east.</p>
<p>In this context the family wanted an economical sustainable-as-possible house accommodating them and a studio/workshop/gallery so that income is generated at home.</p>
<p>Passive climate control, energy efficiency, solar energy and hot water, self-sufficiency for water supply, a permaculture garden, efficient use of materials, use of recycled materials (the Camphor Laurels used for joinery, benches, stairs and shelves), grey water re-use, low-toxicity materials and finishes, working at home: make this a useful model of simple sustainability and most importantly, a very nice place to live.</p>',

'content' => '<p>Gall and Medek Architects were selected, in 1999, to design units to accommodate aged tenants for the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Housing Portfolio (ATSIHP). The client body also used their own construction team to build the project.</p>
<p>As these types of units had never been designed or built before, the design process required intensive consultation with both the future tenants and the ATSIHP construction teams. In line with the consultative process, the units were presented to the local community in an open forum consultation.</p>
<p>Good residential architecture involves the consideration of a wide range of community and environmental issues. Our design process enables us to gather and overlay knowledge gained from community consultation over the expertise we process as architects.</p>
<p>The Project includes a number of sustainable and sustaining practices and technologies: site collection and soakage of stormwater, collection of roof water, locally endemic plantings, design for optimal passive thermal performance, solar hot water site responsive privacy and sun screening, design for disability access and design for buildability and efficient use of materials.</p>
<p>As part of the consultation period, drawings were prepared to show how the new buildings fit into the local urban context, and how they respond to social and community issues. Feedback from the final rounds of consultation were reviewed and responded to before construction drawings began.</p>
<p>Detail Design and Documentation involved a cooperative relationship with the builder and continued involvement with the client over the period of construction.</p>',

<p>These houses have a unique identity generated by careful consideration of environmental issues during the design process. The intention was to question the "usual", look closely at performance and construction and provide the best, not necessarily the standard, economical outcomes.</p>
<p>Philosophically the design approach is based on simplicity (which does not mean a lack of sophistication), honesty, clarity, appreciation of natural processes and valuing (i.e. appreciating) the materials and spaces around us. The houses are not intended as commodities but as the products of honest thought and making (see Practice>Philosophy>Shibui, Henry David Thoreau etc).</p>
<p>It is important to note that the design responses to the issues of energy, materials and water and the interactions between them, largely generated the aesthetics of the place. That is, the forms, textures, patterns and colours of the houses have a basis in practical decisions rather than stylistic ones.</p>
<p>The houses and the place they form are consequently intended to communicate, explicitly and implicitly, the underlying environmental issues on which the design is based.</p>',

The Urban Land Development Authority had a difficult lot near the future bus/rail interchange at Fitzgibbon Chase (a project they developed themselves). The project was aimed at exploring a range of housing options for the site.
