Bruce Condell Design
Architects & Building Designers in Norwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 January 2017
“Majors Creek Renovation and Additions. Our home sits on 100 acres of predominantly grazing land, a working farm. The original house is 100 years old - an ad hoc coming together of two old local schoolrooms, with a couple of lean-tos added in the last 30 years or so. The house was freezing in winter, with a truly impractical floor plan, and although it had its rustic charm when viewed from the outside, was badly in need of an update. Our brief to Bruce was “something simple, warm in winter, practical as a farm house and attractive….somewhere we could entertain guests in comfort”. He was limited by the surroundings and our boundary line in that the only viable place for the proposed extension was to the south, but this did not daunt him. Bruce was very easy to work with, listening carefully to what we wanted, and offering the advice of many years’ experience. He soon came up with a stunningly ingenious yet simple plan…knock down the old and pointless lean-to which included the very distant bathroom and toilet and replace with a new open-plan living area, connected to the old house via a wide passageway, simultaneously creating two large paved courtyard areas to the east and west and increasing our outdoor living space dramatically. The old original cottage then became the bedrooms (3), bathrooms (ensuite and guest) and laundry area of the house, with the wide connecting passageway, doubling as a library, leading into what had been a useless dull room but now the cosy music room. New insulation was added in the walls, new flooring laid and the old cottage was transformed into comfortable sleeping quarters and a second indoor living area. The new open-plan living area is Bruce’s masterpiece. He used galvanised iron and local hardwood to produce a building which looks totally contemporary and yet fits seamlessly with its farm and garden surroundings. As we have three dogs, the polished concrete floor is both beautiful and ultra practical, whilst also functioning as a heat sink for the winter sun. The sun streams in the full length north-facing windows in winter, warming the living space and retaining heat overnight. On sunny days the log fire is not required at all, even in the depths of winter. With views to both courtyards and the orchard beyond, the outlook is superb. In summer, the sun is too high to reach into this room, keeping the temperature down, helped by the elegant pergolas over both courtyards which support deciduous vines. Both courtyards have under window plantings to help facilitate cool breezes in summer. Other little details e.g.: a wooden deck from the main bathroom, a pond beneath the guest bathroom window and a rear mud-room, just add those extra finishing touches and amenity which make the house very special. Bruce managed to design a beautiful, yet practical home for us, which did not cost the earth and which fully met our expectations. The old cottage retained its charm, blending seamlessly with the unique new addition. A local craftsman even managed to produce beautiful recycled furniture for our new living area, using timber from the old lean-to. We love it, and so do our family and friends.”

“Jess and Tristan are both extremely professional and a joy to work with. They came to our house to meet personally to discuss our needs and look at the property.They were extremely honest with their quote and were able to explain to us exactly what we would be able to do within our budget. Every step of the way they were friendly, helpful, and were able to keep our minds at rest by emailing us updates. After it was all over we were able to extend our loungeroom out and raise the ceiling. If we ever need help with an extension (or even a new house!) again we will definitely be giving them another call. Thanks guys!”

“Simon Croker - a building design consultant involved primarily in Environmentally Sustainable Architecture. Simon took my rough sketches and turned them into workable plans. Many ideas were put on the table & his advice on all aspects was friendly & professional. He made us feel that we were in a partnership on the project. Would have no hesitation in recommending him.”

“LocalArchitect did a great and professional job of renovating my inner city converted shop. Their services included a rebuild of the kitchen, both bathrooms, laundry and adding a guest room. With some clever ideas, they transformed what was a very narrow long space beside a laneway into something light and airy using gorgeous timbers. Definitively recommend them.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with 360 Building Solutions both in my capacity as an architect as well as in the role of client. In both respects I continue to find the team professional, motivated, and easy to get along with. My clients are always happy with not only their work, but also the way their projects were handled. And my family and I were thrilled with both the process and the outcome of building our own home with 360 Building Solutions.”

“Highly recommend this firm - fast, intuitive, creative and good communication! We've worked with the team at Black Line Building Design on a few projects now, most recently a custom design on a tricky block. We are very happy with the result, especially how it fits the block perfectly and also allows beautiful winter sun into the living spaces. We have been so happy with their work, we have just engaged them again to create our dream home which will be a knock down rebuild in an inner Canberra suburb.”

“Graham and his team are simply a delight to work with. Being a 'designer' myself makes it all the harder I think for an architect when they have a client like me who changes their mind constantly, has to reduce ideas to meet budget constraints and simply just can't sign off because there's a 'bright new idea' to be explored. Yet Graham and team have met every challenge with consummate professionalism, a smile and an attitude that has been at all times respectful making communication comfortable. Not always found in the design world from my experience after 25 years of running my own agency. Would I work with them again... absolutely and I hope it will happen because a positive, stimulating and warm collaboration is a rare and wonderful thing. We are still a long way from finished on this project but I am sure the outcome will be all I am wishing for and more.”
