June 5th, 2009 | Architecture

Hartree + Associates Architects is well recognized design practice with a creative, dynamic team of architects and interior designers in Perth, Australia. B-Hive is one of their great contemporary works for a family of five. It’s the luxury riverfront home with beautiful Perth’s Swan River views. The project combine indoor and outdoor areas in order to maximize flexibility and comfort of the family. The design solution involved defining zones of the home and wrapping the public spaces with the roof which itself spans a 17m shelter. Concealing glass panels within the stonework, the large riverside veranda and the infinity-edge pool are things that characterize the house and differ it for many other houses near by.

Modern Contemporary Home in Australia by Wright Architects

May 27th, 2009 | Architecture

This modern contemporary home designed by Australia’s Wright Architects is as exotic as its location, steps from the beach of Port Douglas. The only thing that rivals this picturesque property is the contemporary design of the house itself, which subtly infuses water influences into its bold concrete, steel and core-filled clay brick masonry. Wooden “waves” make their way down from the home’s roof, leading to a refreshing salt-water lap pool wrapped in a wooden deck. Beneath the waves and overlooking the pool, and wall of glass blurs the boundary between the outdoors and the sleek, modern interiors. Overlooking the garden and decks, an open-concept kitchen and various living areas make the most of this lush setting. And just when you thought this gorgeous home couldn’t get any better, architect Charles Wright also designed it with sustainability in mind, featuring passive cooling and a double-insulated roof cavity to reduce heat absorption.
