Plaster cornices

New feature pendants + feature wallpaper

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

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.

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

This is me

A pair of large, green compositions cut up into tags

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

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

A colourful card for the love of my life

BooBoos logos + partner product displays

The starting bits of some red tags

Get in there and seal them up

A selection of House 2067 timbers that have been milled

Mall entry

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

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

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.

2013 – House of Origin in review

Final Design – External Perspectives

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

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.

Plasterboards – Abstract Assemblages

Retained rear yard and side path to new internal deck area

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…

Newtown – The Abridged History – Part 2

Posted by houseoforigin on May 27, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Newtown is well and truly moving along at a cracking pace. An admirable feat for a client team of owner/builders overseeing the invoicing and construction works alone and for their first project. Well done gang, you set a very good example of what can be accomplished on a limited budget and no doubt limited sleep. … Continue reading →

My project at Newtown has been moving along gang-busters in the past few months, much to the satisfaction of the clients. And to me.
