This is me

A selection of House 2067 timbers that have been milled

Plaster cornices

Retained rear yard and side path to new internal deck area

Mall entry

Revised laundry layout as determined by the actual site conditions of the existing render

Reused hardwood bearers, set-down for the new cantilevered deck

The Pantheon is probably the most moving architectural experience I have ever had. I was profoundly moved by the simplicity and clarity of the space and even though the room was full of people, I felt like I was still able to full appreciate the space.

New feature pendants + feature wallpaper

One set of blue and one set of the purple RSVP envelopes.

2013 – House of Origin in review

Get in there and seal them up

We are being very careful with the removal of door frames etc so that we can reinstate them in their correct and original locations.

So many old and brittle tiles. Such a shame there is no chance to re-use them

A pair of large, green compositions cut up into tags

A colourful card for the love of my life

Final Design – External Perspectives

Assisi. A tourist mecca, not that you would know it from this picture.

BooBoos logos + partner product displays

Plasterboards – Abstract Assemblages

The starting bits of some red tags

The board can be used for lots of things cutting, resting etc, or indeed just be a nice looking object in the centre of the table.

The Abacus board finds a home in the washing up rack. (Please don’t soak!! :)

Here is a whole set of boards getting their final touch-ups before getting their light sanding and finishing. Very satisfying and if it wasn’t so cold in the shed in Katoomba, maybe I would have stood around with a beer admiring my work…

This is the original timber decking which we removed a few weeks back. It appears that this deck was built at the same time as the house, which means these boards of which there are about 50m2, has had 90 odd years to season.

Always Alternatives – Kitchens 101

Posted by houseoforigin on August 5, 2013 · Leave a Comment

I am currently renting a really beautiful shop-top apartment within walking distance from one of Sydney’s most beautiful beaches. We love living here for the lifestyle, the amenities and the flat is exactly suited to our purposes. However, some work was recently needed to upgrade the kitchen to bring it up from 1980’s chip-board standard. … Continue reading →

Married without a hitch

Posted by houseoforigin on March 4, 2013 · Leave a Comment

So, as you may have noticed House of Origin as been a little absent from the bloggy-sphere for the first part of 2013. This is nothing to do with the progress of our projects and things in development and everything to do with the fact that I was planning my wedding, at least the first … Continue reading →

Old Personal Diaries – 1999 to 2006

Posted by houseoforigin on July 8, 2012 · 1 Comment

Here are a few more dairies. These ones were a lot more labour intensive to make…and indeed use. They all started out using old magazines, newspapers and the like and you would be surprised at how hard it is to find an image or a clean bit of colour or just something you actually like … Continue reading →

Old Personal Diaries – 2006 to 2010

Posted by houseoforigin on July 5, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I have always been interested in repurposing things in a very hands-on fashion. This extends a lot to printed media and while I have always liked collages and often make them for christmas/post cards etc, I have always tried to look for a practical application to satisfy my desire to maximise the reusability of things. … Continue reading →
