A 70s renovation has been carefully removed from the original house, and a new brick addition is being added. The existing house is highly decorative to the street: it is rendered and modelled with some complex corbelling and fretwork. In contrast, the sides of the house are completely utilitarian face brickwork. The strategy is to extend this face brickwork treatment into a rear-yard addition housing the living spaces of the house and connecting with the garden. Framed by irregular openings, the garden views develop a new decorative language for the rear elevation. <img src="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384374/newly photoshopped.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1177" width_o="2048" height_o="3600" src_o="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384374/newly photoshopped_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384374/kitchen_2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="495" width_o="2048" height_o="1513" src_o="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384374/kitchen_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> ↶ Back to Top http://www.tribestudio.com.au/House-Clarke http://www.tribestudio.com.au/following/tribestudio.com.au/House-Clarke Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:12:54 +0000 Tribe Studio Architects 2384347 The front of this house in Coogee is being rebuilt to accommodate a car, new dining room and a master bedroom with ensuite. On a steep site, hemmed in by neighbouring buildings of many different styles and types, House Clarke responds simply and elegantly. Views of significant trees are framed on the middle level by box windows, and a large balcony to the master level affords district views and privacy. <img src="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384347/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1029" height_o="683" src_o="http://payload4.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2384347/DSC_0005_o.JPG" align="left" /> ↶ Back to Top http://www.tribestudio.com.au/House-Gould http://www.tribestudio.com.au/following/tribestudio.com.au/House-Gould Mon, 28 Nov 2011 23:56:29 +0000 Tribe Studio Architects 2376846 This new stone pavilion is an out-building to a Grade 2 Heritage Listed house in Northamptonshire, UK. The new facilities include an indoor pool, games room, garden sitting room and tennis court. Built from local sandstone the massive walls are punctured by irregular square windows so that these new works read as shed-like additions to the larger formal house.

The house has been opened up to the garden and existing pool to create a vibrant, activated space for a family with 3 boys. A new, pristine white structure has been added to the rear to address the harsh Western sun without compromising living space. This house is complete and will be photographed in early 2012. <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2376315/DSC_0033.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="824" width_o="2048" height_o="2519" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2376315/DSC_0033_o.jpg" align="left" /> ↶ Back to Top http://www.tribestudio.com.au/Apartment-Gregory http://www.tribestudio.com.au/following/tribestudio.com.au/Apartment-Gregory Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:38:45 +0000 Tribe Studio Architects 2361193 Currently under construction, this apartment has been redesigned to address its incredible view north over Bronte Beach. The plan has been fully reconfigured to create a two bedroom, two bathroom flat with a generous living space and study.

The strategy is a modest one: retain the original 1920s bungalow frontage and conceal behind it a new addition. The central part of the plan is carved out for a series of living spaces facing the garden and harbour. The master bedroom is nestled against an existing cliff-face, juxtaposing a landscape harbour view and a close encounter with mossy sandstone and a cheeky orchid garden.This house is due to start construction in early 2012. A challenge for the  builder will be the maintenance of the outstanding existing basil crop and the tree that yields the best limes the Tribe Studio team have ever put in their GandTs. <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2376147/exter cropped.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1191" width_o="1716" height_o="3052" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/2376147/exter cropped_o.jpg" align="left" /> ↶ Back to Top http://www.tribestudio.com.au/Apartments-Glencourt http://www.tribestudio.com.au/following/tribestudio.com.au/Apartments-Glencourt Mon, 29 Aug 2011 04:38:05 +0000 Tribe Studio Architects 1902916 New balconies are added to an existing waterfront apartment building and a new two-storey apartment is inserted into an existing undercroft.

Substantial reconstruction has yielded a fresh new house with innovative use of materials on a budget. The plan wraps itself around a courtyard, allowing Northern light into the living spaces.

The apartments are three storeys tall, with double-height garden terraces, allowing exuberant greenery to spill from the facade. This seemingly perverse strategy has benefits. Circulation spines are limited to 6 households, as are the roof terraces they share. The apartments promote different living configurations: share living with privacy or family homes and suit changing demographics. The ground floor is mixed use and the building form creates an active urban square with the surroundings. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1615899/1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="854" width_o="2048" height_o="2612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1615899/1_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.tribestudio.com.au/House-Welsh http://www.tribestudio.com.au/following/tribestudio.com.au/House-Welsh Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:13:19 +0000 Tribe Studio Architects 1774128 The house has a single skillion roof-form sloping from the East to the West in the long direction of the site. The roof-form allows the two storey volumes to be at the front, enjoying beautiful harbour views, and the single storey at the rear to mitigate over-shadowing impact on the southern neighbour's out-door living space. This roof form works dramatically in opposition to the site topography, which falls down from West to East. The first floor is clad in weatherboards and painted white, giving the sense of a large triangular form hovering over the more visually-recessive ground floor. Due for completion in early 2012, House Welsh is a wedge of white weatherboards floating above a stone plinth. The house orients itself the the sun and the views, and creates a series of surprising sectional spaces - massively overscaled living room, completely compressed study, towering ceiling heights in the dining room, intimate in the kitchen. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1774128/DSC_0140.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1008" width_o="2048" height_o="3083" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1774128/DSC_0140_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1774128/coverpage edited.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="711" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/112688/1774128/coverpage edited_o.jpg" align="left" /> ↶ Back to Top
