Architect, Saaj Designs, describes the brief for this stunning home on Beach Rd...
"There was a strong desire from the clients to feel like they were living on the water. Meticulous design analysis was given to achieving multi-tiered views through the different levels of the house, making one feel like they are hovering over the water’s edge. A biophilic response to the experience of space and place. Despite 4 surrounding neighbours, rigorous digital studies enabled the upper-first floor, living, dinning, kitchen and alfresco to frame the 270-degree bay / city skyline view. Stepped over 3 plates and a vaulted ceiling large enough to view through internal spaces, uninterrupted, bay views were achieved".
Creative Windows stepped up to the challenges this build presented, offering a range of solutions to bring the vision to fruition. This project required the use of both Steel and Aluminium framing to suit the design aesthetic and environmental considerations. A variety of frame types were suited to each situation including Thermally Broken to keep the weather at bay and Hidden Channel Frames to create a seamless effect. The use of Steel allowing for a more minimal frame which is featured beautifully on a curved interior wall.
