Raising the Roof for Room

This design began as a standard Amano Home that I also designed with the request to put a loft above.  The home overlooks large well-manicured parkland and also enjoys glimpses to the ocean so it was worth the extra to raise the roof.  With a steeper angle to the roof providing enough room without adding any wall height (critical to satisfying tough regulations on wall heights to boundary setbacks and also keep the budget trim) the resulting home makes quite a statement to the street.  With it's already raised ground level above the footpath, together with the additional height it becomes a landmark.

The original home was designed for views and with the garage accessed from a street behind and thus not taking up any street scape it is perfect to take the best advantage of a great outlook.

Seen here the home is near to completion by custom home builder Amano Homes.

Clubhouse Proposal

This project was a quick schematic design for the purposes of exploring a new clubhouse in a new location so the parameters were relatively loose but hopefully it will turn into a real project down the track.

Most of the parking is designed to be at the rear allowing only a few visitor parking bays at the front.  Separate access to offices that can be rented out to help pay for the facility
