Residential

18 Hooper Currumbin

Mermaid

This is a classic ‘mum and dad’ investor story, this site was first purchased as a rental property. George Chambers was asked what can be done with the property.

George, as the previous in house design director of a property developer, knew the site’s potential. Initial site analysis and investigation by others would return 10-12 units – George submitting a DA and achieving approval for 18 owner occupier type apartments with high ceilings and large balconies.

With the approval, the owner found a Sydney property developer investor, who purchased at well over unimproved market value. The developer still able to hold the property at limited cost with the existing rental property.

This Sydney investor/ developer impressed with George’s design placed C2 on board as their project architect’s.

Commissioning C2 for their own commercial property in Revesby Sydney.

Aveling Street

The client wants to build their dream home, with the thought they have no particular type or design in mind. The design briefing and process starts with understanding the client, their family requirements, needs and inspirations -a ‘wish list’ and is considered within the constraints of the budget and site.

Truth is the client knows what they want, it is the architect’s role to visualise this in the concept design process – First through a conceptual spatial diagram based on a list of spaces and requirements – drafted over a computer scale representation of the site and room sizes with built area, keeping budget in the process.

Bage Street

Bage Street apartments within the guidelines to achieve 20+ apartments onto a 1200sqm site -located on leafy bage street, an elevated, sloping site with views, within close proximity to Toombul railway station & the major arterial Sandgate Road. Understanding to provide quality, yet still affordable residential accommodation, within proximity to the Nundah shopping urban precinct. Working closely with the client & BCC to understand the actual performance criteria & maximise the site potential.

Education

International School

OLHC PE Centre

OLHC, Our Lady Help of Christians is a well established Brisbane Catholic education Primary school located in the inner northern suburb of Hendra.

The Principal, Margeret Tomov, understood the need to provide an enclosed PE centre along with assembly and event space in conjunction with the Parish requirements. And a frame and roof for covered play had been constructed earlier as part of that long term strategy.

Margeret understood the budget was limited and understanding where that priority worked within the longer-term resources pedagogy strategy, required much better planning. After meeting with the previous planners, reviewing the overall plan and trying to reconcile with the ‘school-wide teaching pedagogies’ Margeret sought George’s input, from a knowledge of his work with the OLA primary school in the planning and delivery of resources.

George engaged with Margeret in preparing an overall strategy and masterplan in which the PE centre enclosure was a well-understood phase. C2 architecture then prepared a design and documentation to a strict budget. Then, most importantly ensured the project was built and delivered to a high standard within that budget.

Saint Joseph's Pe Centre

St Joseph’s School is a catholic primary school with 800 students located near Nundah village. The brief required a new PE centre & library. George designed an integrated masterplan for the school first encompassing all the current and future needs of the school for understanding and approval of the Queensland catholic education. Within this masterplan a standard budget was allocated by BGA to meet their requirements – within this budget upgrading of the proposed and adjoining existing was also possible.

OLA PE Centre

OLA Library

OLA library is a simple but elegant building which floats over landscaping.

Both the Library and Church anchor either end of the Parish School site.
One houses the intellectual knowledge and the other spiritual knowledge for the school.

The facade of Library presents patterned glazing which matches the patterned glazing of the Church.
Magnificent city views are afforded to the occupants of the library, seen thru this glass facade.

George (EKO) worked closely with the school administration and Catholic education projects to provide a number of facilities including a PE Centre and upgrading integration of a number of other facilities throughout OLA to a refined budget and excellent standard.
