Project Amaroo
This dual-occupancy design combines red brick, dark metal cladding, and expansive glazing to create a cohesive yet distinct pair of modern homes. A symmetrical form with a central dividing line anchors the architecture, while the interplay of solid brickwork, recessed entries, and bold upper-level volumes adds depth and balance. Integrated greenery softens the built form, enhancing privacy and sustainability. The result is a refined, timeless duplex that blends warmth, functionality, and contemporary urban character.
DESIGN CONCEPT
The design presents a contemporary dual-occupancy dwelling that harmoniously balances robust materiality with refined modern detailing. The composition embraces a symmetrical form, expressed through a central vertical division that defines two distinct yet cohesive residences. The use of red brick anchors the building to its suburban context, referencing traditional residential materials while its dark metal cladding and expansive glazing introduce a modern, sophisticated edge.
At street level, the articulated façade combines solid and transparent elements, creating visual rhythm through the interplay of brick piers, recessed entries, and landscaped buffers. The upper level, defined by bold rectilinear volumes, provides a strong contrast to the grounded brickwork below, achieving a balanced composition of mass and lightness.
Sustainability and spatial quality are enhanced through integrated greenery at the first-floor balconies, allowing a soft transition between the built form and the natural surroundings. The landscape design complements the architecture with low-maintenance planting and timber screening, reinforcing privacy and connection to nature.
Overall, the design aspires to create a timeless modern duplex that merges warmth, functionality, and urban elegance—responding sensitively to its neighbourhood character while offering residents a contemporary and enduring home.
