Spotted Gum House / Alexander&Co.

Client Design Brief - Shaping Spotted Gum House was the client’s pursuit of sustainable design practices, her views on upholding a holistic wellness approach, and her forward-thinking innovation which were all informative to the design. The owners were a couple of near-empty nesters who were devoted to participating in their design process. Having an innovative spirit and invested interest in both personal wellness and sustainability through architecture, our team enjoyed a close, collaborative relationship with the client. The client also challenged our practice to explore, source, and create environmental solutions throughout the architectural process and pushed us to innovate the use of sustainable products, new technologies, and ideas. From the double-glazed windows, geothermal climate control, and inert and low VOC materials – our team was required to deliver technologies, not within reach of many of our smaller domestic projects.
