25.01.2022 Japan Flashback: Visiting one of my favourite architects buildings is japan is such a delight (Tadao Ando’s Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art). The precision and beauty of these off-form concrete stairs just can’t be matched in Australia. It even draws local bride and grooms as a favourite photo shoot location. #backwhenwecouldtravel #japanarchitecture #architecture #design #japanesedesign #stairdesigngoals

21.01.2022 Can the amount of Daylight that enters into my house effect my health? Indoor spaces with plenty of sunlight are better for your health than darker spaces lit with artificial lighting. Exposure to sunlight during the day helps to regulate the body’s circadian rhythms regulating daily rhythms of alertness and sleepiness. Sunlight is essential for absorbing Vitamin D, which is needed for healthy bones. Natural light has also been shown to enhance mood and productivity likel...y because of the effect on rhythmic energy levels. You can maximise natural light potential by ensuring living spaces are on the sunnier northern side and non-habitable spaces on the shadier southern side. Smart orientation is an example of a design intervention that doesn’t cost anything extra if done at the design stage, but has a big impact on the quality of the building and is expensive to change later. Large areas of glazing on the northern side also helps to maximise natural lighting and passive solar gain. Contact me to talk about your next house or home renovation.

18.01.2022 How does good design reduce running costs? Many people are surprised to find out that construction cost is only 15-20% of the buildings entire cost during its life. The cost of running a house or its usage ranges from 75- 80% of the buildings entire cost during its life. The time that decisions can have the greatest effect on the life cycle costs is during the planning and design stage. These costs include running costs for heating, cooling, natural ventilation for fresh air,... maintenance and the lifecycle of each building material. When a house is well designed to incorporate solar panels, good orientation, passive solar heating, high quality mechanical ventilation, appropriate building insulation and the right window type for the location it can reduce the costs of running the house exponentially. It just takes knowing who the right professional is to make sure that you can tap into those savings. #exterior #design #exteriordesign #home #homedesign #homeinspiration #designinspo #exteriorinspo #minimaldesign #australiandesign #minimal #homeinspo #australianarchitecture #housedesign #industrialarchitecture #minimalism #amazingarchitecture #architecturephotography #architexture #designers #australianarchitect #architectureinspo #dezeen #archdaily

09.01.2022 Good Design Maximises Space You probably imagine the amount of space in your home will be determined by your budget and the constraints of the site, and that’s the end of it. But in actual fact your choice of design can do a lot to maximise internal floor area even on a limited compact footprint with basements, split-levels, attic rooms and mezzanines. Even when budget is also a limiting factor, there are many creative ways to maximise space and create the feeling of spacio...usness even when that’s not objectively the case.

05.01.2022 Pause and reset architecture.....

04.01.2022 No joke I randomly got interviewed on Japanese TV about Japanese architecture (albeit for a 10 sec sound bite lol) outside Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center building by Kengo Kuma and Associates. #japanesearchitecture #australianarchitecture #architecture #asukusatokyo #randominterview #howdidtheyknowlovejapanesearchitecture check out this dezeen article on this building. https://www.dezeen.com//asakusa-culture-tourist-infor/amp/ @ Asakusa What do you love about Japanese architecture? Learn more about an intriguing Japanese design trend that has gone global here ..... https://www.corywebbdesign.com.au//behind-the-design-trend

04.01.2022 When we build or renovate a house it is often with these little people in mind. The choice of using non-harmful healthy building materials, the choice to use sustainable building products that will not destroy their future environment and the choice to craft a design that will connect them with nature should really be included in the preliminary design discussions not left to an afterthought. What sustainable building products do you think are underrated? #sustainableliving #sustainabledesign #sustainablelifestyle #sustainabledesignconcept #sustainablearchitecture #australianarchitecture #environmentdesign #sustainableproducts

03.01.2022 What’s behind the design trend: Shou sugi ban Have you ever wondered where the design trend of vertical cladding using burnt or charred timber originated from? Why did it become so popular? Have modern interpretations of the trend strayed too far from the original? THE ORIGIN of this trend comes from japan where traditional builders have for years burnt the top layer of japanese cedar or Japanese red cedar. Walking around my wife’s village on the outskirts of Okayama most bui...ldings use this type of cladding. Why did it become popular among the Japanese? BURNING the outer face of the timber closes the cells of the timber which makes it more resistant to termites, more resistant to fire (If you’ve ever tried to rekindle a campfire using burnt logs, you get the idea.) and effectively extending the longevity of the cladding to last up to 80 years. How did it become popular among architects? ALTHOUGH THESE practical aspects appeal to contemporary builders, the deeper roots of the trend no doubt lie in our current collective hunger for all things artisanal for creations that aren’t sleek and mass-produced but contain the visible, sometimes-raw, but always original touch of the human hand. Like industrial lighting or reclaimed wood, shou sugi ban has a certain rustic, homespun appeal. The yearning for this aesthetic has led, over the past decade, to a general return to treating materials in traditional ways and, more specifically, to an adoption of principles that have long been fundamental to Japanese architecture: simplicity, the use of natural materials and a sensitivity to the surrounding environment. Have modern adaptions of the trend strayed too far from the original? AS WITH many design trends that get copied and copied many trends lose the authenticity of the original design concept like a bad photocopy. Today you will see people trying to achieve the aesthetic of shou sugi ban with aluminium and fibre cement cladding. The traditional detail was similar to a ship lap cladding where the carpenter would use a smaller piece of timber to seal the cladding. What are your thoughts about shou sugi ban? Love it or hate it?

02.01.2022 I want double glazed windows in my new house how can I balance out the costs? Design Tip #1 - Balance the cost of double triple glazed windows by having large windows where they count and limiting individual window size to what is really needed is lower priority rooms. Design Tip #2 - Fixed windows are 30% cheaper than operable windows. Consider using these where you want natural light but don’t need any natural ventilation. ...
