ROAM ArchitectureUpdating a modern classic
These clients adore their home’s location, nestled within a 2-1/2 acre site largely wooded and abutting a creek and nature preserve. They contacted us with the intent of repairing some exterior and interior issues that were causing deterioration, and needed some assistance with the design and selection of new exterior materials which were in need of replacement.
Our new proposed exterior includes new natural wood siding, a stone base, and corrugated metal. New entry doors and new cable rails completed this exterior renovation.
Additionally, we assisted these clients resurrect an existing pool cabana structure and detached 2-car garage which had fallen into disrepair. The garage / cabana building was renovated in the same aesthetic as the main house.

Enduring Domain ArchitectureAn historic bluestone farmstead dating back to the 1870s has been in the same family for generations. The expansive property boasts the Victorian Pyrenees mountains as a backdrop. The bluestone for the walls was quarried from the property not more than 500m away. Over the time numerous interventions and alterations have been made but with the core square footprint of the home and hipped galvanised iron roof have remained in-tact. A veranda was added much later, first with a concave corrugated iron roof with timber posts, and then later replaced with a bull-nose roof profile with fluted concrete pillars as supports, on all four sides of the home.
Despite the obvious beauty and priceless historical value of such a dwelling, the design simply does not lend itself to producing and retaining warmth through our long and dark Central Victorian winters. With the need to accommodate an every growing family and the practicalities of day to day farm-life, our solution was to create a completely new addition which would sit beside and touch the bluestone, but not engulf it. When I approach the home from the lengthy dirt driveway I want to see and appreciate the old existing building and also recognize that there is quite obviously a modern addition beside it.
ANASTASIA PAPAIOANNOULocated on the hill overlooking the Charani bay, the last building of the Settlement of Simi ,was built to shelter shepherds and goats.
Spartan structure inside - outside ,built with local stones “in view” ,the main part covered with a steep wooden roof and the lower one with vaults.
The features of the house are following the vernacular Architecture of “Chorio” (the older part of the settlement on top of the main hill) and create an impressive effect in-between the neoclassical houses that surround it.
Restoration project and works respected the simplicity of the building,as the new use “shelters“ the summer dreams of the new users.
Behind the stable a new summer house was added in direct dialoguewith it. Local stones wooden roofs, spartan features.
Inspiration for the synthesis, were the volumes of the local Monastery of Proph.Ilias
The complex project was presented at the Exhibition “A Vision of Europe”, that took place in Bologna Italy in September 1992.

Rhodes Architecture + LightWingspan adjoins a community park, opening to an eastern entry court, southern recreation/gardening court, and park greenspace to the west. The house is organized on five half-levels set effortlessly around a central atrium/stair lightwell, dividing the spaces inside horizontally + vertically. Playful roofs and forms reflect one of the owner’s mid-century modern boyhood homes. Work, play, guest + community, and sleeping spaces for a family of five focus on gathering and orienting toward views, landscaped courts, and a glass and steel circulation core.
The Bazeley PartnershipThe Hide is a stunning, two-storey residential dwelling sitting above a Nature Reserve in the coastal resort of Bude.
Replacing an existing house of no architectural merit, the new design evolved a central core with two wings responding to site context by angling the wing elements outwards away from the core, allowing the occupiers to experience and take in the panoramic views. The large-glazed areas of the southern façade and slot windows horizontally and vertically aligned capture views all-round the dwelling.
Low-angled, mono-pitched, zinc standing seam roofs were used to contain the impact of the new building on its sensitive setting, with the roofs extending and overhanging some three feet beyond the dwelling walls, sheltering and covering the new building. The roofs were designed to mimic the undulating contours of the site when viewed from surrounding vantage points, concealing and absorbing this modern form into the landscape.
The Hide Was the winner of the South West Region LABC Building Excellence Award 2020 for ‘Best Individual New Home’.
