Our design strategy to lower the living room floor level promoted seamless connection with the rear plunge pool courtyard, and created a beautifully daylit living space with generous ceiling height. Smart joinery design defined the transition between living and dining spaces.

BMA was engaged to refine and develop an approved design for alterations to a small semi detached house in Bronte. While the front of the house remains predominantly intact, a new split level kitchen, dining and living pavilion opens onto a courtyard and plunge pool, completely transforming the home.

Our design strategy to lower the living room floor level promoted seamless connection with the rear plunge pool courtyard, and created a beautifully daylit living space with generous ceiling height. Smart joinery design defined the transition between living and dining spaces.

Once the amended design had been approved by Council, BMA completed the project documentation, and then administered the building contract on behalf of our client. Construction was completed in 2015.

About the
Professional

Our architecture is about simple things executed beautifully. While our buildings may look different to each other, they all embody the same principles of sensual experience, sustainability, honesty of materials, construction credibility and distinction.

We are positive, responsive, and easy to work with. We gauge success by consistently developing successful ongoing relationships with those involved in our projects. We understand that an important part of our role is leading, motivating and igniting a sense of ownership across the design team. Experience has taught us that best results are achieved when all stakeholder contexts are aligned, communication is open and clear, expert input is integrated accurately, and mutual respect is won.

There is little room for ego at BMA. Our design process is genuinely collaborative, with Project Directors engaging with our broadly skilled and experienced team of 15 staff to deliver richly diverse and unique projects every time.

We also actively promote working in a collaborative environment with our clients, authorities, consultants, builders, suppliers and other team members to arrive at are fined, efficient and beautiful result.

We value not only innovative and inspirational design at a project’s inception, but rigour, clarity and accuracy during our design development, documentation, tender and construction processes.

We are skilled in the art of balancing aspirations and pragmatics, and consider cost, programme and build ability integral to the design development process. We test our design decisions against these parameters regularly and actively promote the same within the design team.

We are successfully engaged in a broad range of project types and scales, including houses, urban housing, commercial and industrial projects, and resort hospitality.
