ABOVE Project: Yallingup Residence Location: Yallingup, WA. Photographer: Tim Silbert. When designing a house, the orientation is integral to its passive thermal performance. The more ‘public’ areas of the house such as living, dining and kitchen are where you will spend most of your time when not sleeping. Therefore it makes sense to place them so as to receive as much northern light as possible. LEFT Project: Vito Residence Location: Kalamunda, WA. Photographer: Tim Silbert. A small house that is cleverly designed can be functional, adaptable and have a smaller carbon footprint. Proportions in plan and section should be carefully considered, alongside colour palette, in order to enhance the perception of space. BELOW Project: Vito ResidenceLocation: Kalamunda, WA. Photographer: Tim Silbert. Rammed earth walls are not only a beautiful and organic material in the home, but when positioned correctly, can act as thermal mass, helping to stabilise air temperature. By alternately storing and releasing heat it effectively provides free winter- time heating and summer-time cooling.


BELOW LEFT Project: Mosman Park Residence Location: Mosman Park, WA. Photographer: Tim Silbert. The form of the building responds to the environmental conditions and constraints of the suburban site with a heavy masonry wall wrapping around the dwelling to provide a sense of enclosure and separation from the surrounding streets. Windows and doors have been carefully located to ensure a sense of visual connection and interaction with the street while retaining privacy.
