ICON-

 

Image, statue, painting, mosaic, etc.

(often tiny - ed) of sacred personage, itself regarded as sacred

 

So

 

There is hardly ever an 'Iconic Building'

 

 And

 

There is never an 'Iconic Architect'

 

 But

 

Here we both go ever so close

 

 

 Edwardian House

The restoration of a 1930's middle class suburban bungalow has demonstrated the potential to faithfully restore a heritage residence while providing an affordable solution for contemporary living.

"The old building has had its self esteem restored.  It is true to itself yet serves a young family well."

Federation Style House

This genuine Federation Style House has been restored and provided with a seamless extension at the rear to cater for a more modern style of living.

Federation Style House

This project consists of the substantial extensions and alterations to a "character house" in Fremantle WA.

 

The existing house was not historic or greatly significant in any way, but sitting near the top of a hilly street had certain scale and presence which made it special from the beginning.  The streetscape generally was sufficiently characterful for the local authority to have imposed certain restrictions on the scale and nature of new work.
