The Sawn Box
The Sawn Box, 2018
Gerroa NSW
Clad in local hardwood timber that was felled, sawn and dried on a nearby family farm, The Sawn Box was a labour of love for the architect in designing his own home to accommodate both his growing family, and his growing architectural studio. Two separate boxes sit on the steep block overlooking the south ocean, one housing a compact three bedroom family home, the other accommodating the garage and dedicated studio space. A central deck links the two and provides an entrance and entertaining area that is sheltered from the harsh coastal winds by the timber structures flanked on either side. The robust material palette of concrete, steel and hardwood protects the building from the prevailing coastal conditions and corrosive salt air yet from the interior, a timber lined ceiling floats delicately above the walls, leaving the impression that the building sits softly and lightly in the environment it sits within.

About the
Professional
I’m based in Berry, South Coast of NSW Australia. I’m a registered Architect and have worked extensively on residential, commercial and industrial architectural projects across many landscapes. I believe that architecture is a process of response, to both person and place. It is this process that pushes me to continue to explore various design solutions for each client and project. It was capturing the results of these journeys that has provided the catalyst for my other passion, photography.
Architecture can be, at times, a complex environment, but I find photography takes me to the opposite side, slowing the moment down, allowing one to stop and appreciate, compose and capture the moment.
With architecture I aim to respond to client’s individual brief to develop high quality buildable design outcomes.
Please contact me directly to purchase any prints for your home, to discuss any architectural projects or just simply have a chat about an idea…
Enjoy…
