coogee conversion

Here's a fun little project that's big on finish. We took a small 2 bed unit in Coogee that still had a lot of it's original 1960's finishes and converted it into a sparkling jewel of modern open planning and interiors. All new LED lighting, air conditioning and connectiveness.

Wonderful subtle and stylish scheme by our expert interior architect Eddie Kenda.

Joinery beautifully realised by our good friends at Donnas Joinery and the whole complex build done by Dave and his professional team at D B & H E Building Services.

We can't wait for the clients (and furniture) to move in and enjoy it all. We'll come back and update our photos after that.

HOW TO create any kind of complicated/fine work 3D in ArchiCAD

Image
I know, I know, not many firms out there use ArchiCAD anymore, but thank god there is still some and for those who do, like us, this is for you :) Fretwork for federation house Usually, if you are not after much detailed 3D work, using the slab and wall tools are sufficient enough to get the job done. you would get the basic shape of this fretwork.  However, if you are after delivering an exact representation of the existing house, like above, this tutorial is for you. We are going to work on a plane and save the work as an OBJECT  to then be used in your 3D.  STEP 1 On the ArchiCAD file you are working on, start by importing an image of your fretwork in  AC (short for Archicad, I will be using this word a LOT, I just realized)  on a blank story level.  Click on the 'figure tool'. It looks like a little house icon. You can pretty much import almost any kind of file into AC with this tool, PDFs, JPEGs, TIFs.. like so..  After you are done, start drawing ou

 Well, maybe a bit bigger than a cottage. Another project from last century re-visited. Still looking really good. The original kitchen has been updated. I think the older one was better..... of course.

give your steep site a lift!!

Image
Got a steep site...? Difficult access....? Consider a lift. It's not a cheap solution but it adds incredible value and function to a site that has steep access. Here's one we completed in Coogee. Combined with additions that located living areas to the new top floor it allows direct access from street level. It totally transformed the functionality of the house ... and  ... the value of the property. Lot's of jack hammers in a solid stone hole and a big rock muncher from Coober Pedy working horizontally. Some issues with super hard rock and rock fractures, so geotech info is important. Quite stressful to build but great once completed. J
