the project
<strong>Sunset</strong> <strong>House</strong> was a complete renovation and<br />
substantial extension of an existing home in<br />
Samford Valley in Brisbane. The original 70s brick<br />
ranch home was purchased with the intent to<br />
renovate, and had great structural bones but<br />
was very limited by era-based design, and thus<br />
failed to encapsulate the surrounding bushland.<br />
The wide verandas and high brick walls through<br />
the middle of the house caused the spaces to<br />
have very limited natural light and ventilation,<br />
making the home dark at most times of the day.<br />
The quality of workmanship of the completed<br />
home is evident in the beautiful features of<br />
the complex concrete benchtops, Blackbutt<br />
timber ceilings with crafted skylight details,<br />
custom Blackbutt windows and doors, stunning<br />
Pandamo floors throughout, honed white<br />
blockwork and oak timber veneer cabinetry.<br />
The contemporary yet classic interiors bring<br />
together innovative Australian features<br />
whilst also complimenting the iconic family<br />
design. These features make reference to and<br />
compliment the detail of the textural building<br />
itself, all whilst capturing the essence of the<br />
original sprawling family home.<br />
The new design scheme enhances the natural<br />
light that now fills the home, with warm timbers<br />
and layered interior highlights, such as the soft<br />
custom window furnishings.<br />
New roof lines were introduced to open the<br />
extensive bushland views which were once<br />
trapped by the older and poorly designed home.<br />
The encapsulating views now sweep right back<br />
to the rear of the property.<br />
The separation of private areas and communal<br />
spaces was extremely important to this design,<br />
ensuring the ability of the family to both gather<br />
and spend time apart.<br />
A bath house was implemented to create<br />
separation from the children and the parents,<br />
providing them with a retreat area with louvre<br />
windows opening onto a private garden with<br />
panoramic bushland views in the distance.<br />
The communal and warm central family areas<br />
were designed to be enjoyed by all.<br />
The contract delivery method was ‘design and<br />
construct’, with the project delivered on time<br />
and on budget. The entire process was always<br />
well organised and very professional.<br />

aspect architecture
our practice & our team<br />
our philosophy<br />
our vision<br />
Established by Matt Cooper in 2000, Aspect<br />
Architecture is an intentionally small, efficient, people<br />
orientated practice situated only metres from the<br />
beautiful beaches of Northern NSW’s Kingscliff.<br />
We’re a friendly, focused, and experienced tight-knit<br />
group who work in various contexts. Our completed<br />
work has included house renovations, new houses,<br />
attached housing, feasibility studies, apartment<br />
complexes, commercial fit-outs, and master studies,<br />
and we collaborate closely with our wide network<br />
of town planners, developers, clients, engineers,<br />
designers and builders to achieve the delivery of<br />
exemplary and trustworthy service in a local setting.<br />
We believe that architecture plays a fundamental<br />
role in the way we experience place, and thus life.<br />
We reject architecture for architectures sake and<br />
focus on the creation of spaces that are beautiful,<br />
unique and function in a personable way, meaning<br />
that each project responds meaningfully to its setting<br />
and occupants. From a project brief, each house is<br />
crafted to the needs, expectations, and arguably most<br />
importantly, the personalities of each client. We value<br />
quality of craftsmanship, collaboration, creativity and<br />
responsiveness, and open dialogue alongside a spirit<br />
of communication and collaboration.<br />
As architects, we are uniquely positioned to contribute<br />
to every stage of the design process, from conception<br />
to completion. We strive to engage with enthusiastic<br />
clients who respect the value an architect can bring<br />
to a project and create an open and friendly work<br />
environment where architect-client relationships can<br />
flourish, ultimately enriching people’s lives through the<br />
creation of considered and exceptional architecture.<br />
We combine our goal of excellence in the office with<br />
a balanced lifestyle amongst friends and family, and<br />
take time to enjoy the process from beginning to end.<br />
