a new eden
Well, here we are at the start of another small medium density project. This time in Arncliffe.
As usual I'm excited to be working with new shapes and layouts but sad to lose the three single Federation and Bungalow cottages that have to be demolished to make way. There are such limited options in areas zoned for high density. Left over cottages look like a complete anachronism. We work to recycle as much as possible at least.
These are the latest 3D studies.... another neat, Val Lee, 3D model. We've gone for a disciplined facade which faces North East with operable screens for solar and privacy control. It seems to be coming together as a building form.
Anyhooo... we are off for pre-DA. Who knows what changes will occur...
