A young family of four, have commissioned FPA to extend their steep roofed cottage in the suburban town of Purley, Croydon. This project offers the opportunity to revise and refine concepts and principles that FPA had outlined in the design of their house extension project in Surbiton and similarly, here too, the project is split into two separate sub-briefs and organised, once again, around two distinctive new buildings. The side extension is monolithic, with hollowed-out apertures and finished in dark painted render to harmonise with the somber bricks and accommodates ancillary functions. The back extension is conceived as a spatial sun and light catcher. An architectural nacre piece is hung indoors to "catch the light" from nearby sources. A precise study of the sun path has inspired the careful insertion of openings of different types and shapes to direct one's view towards the outside. The new building is articulated by 'pulling' and 'stretching' its edges to produce a dramatic sculptural interior. The back extension is clad with three-dimensional textured timber boards to produce heavy shades and augment its sculptural properties, creating a stronger relationship with the mature trees at the end of the back garden.

Ubicada en un entorno semi-rural, la casa se desarrolla alrededor de una gran galería que se abre hacia un patio extenso. Las dependencias privadas se desarrollan en una nave de losa plana en el sentido longitudinal del lote. El área social y la galería son cubiertos por un gran faldón a un agua de cubierta metálica.

This image presents the rear view of a proposed loft conversion featuring a flat roof dormer. The design enhances the property by adding additional space in a contemporary style, complete with large windows and a flat roof structure. The image highlights the seamless blend between the existing structure and the new extension, showing how the loft conversion integrates with the overall architecture to modernize the home’s appearance.

The Fairhaven Residence is an example of contemporary coastal architecture in a bushfire prone environment. Nestled in an area of landscape significance on an elevated site in Fairhaven, a Victorian seaside town on the Great Ocean Road, the residence is designed to capture both the ocean view across Fairhaven towards the ocean, and the surrounding bushland. Utilising expanses of glazing to maintain this connection with the landscape, every room has a view, with the main living and kitchen orientated towards the ocean in one direction and the Split Point Lighthouse in the other. Areas of retreat including the bedrooms, study and courtyard are oriented towards the bushland. The residence was designed to meet the requirements of Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40. This required substantial vegetation clearances and non-combustible external materials. Our challenge was to overcome these restrictions without destroying the indigenous vegetation and finely tuning the selection of external materials The solidity of the dark metal cladding and expanses of glazing contrast the lightness and openness of the interior. Accented by the use of sandstone and timber throughout, the muted interior palette frames the view and compliments the landscape. Being used intermittently, the house needed to be accessed remotely via telephone apps to control entry for maintenance personnel and to activate the roof mounted fire sprinklers via a fire fighting pump connected to the local tank water. Surrounded by a rustic garden incorporating native grass trees and locally indigenous shrubs that surround the house, the project is finely textured with varied foliage creating privacy where needed and enhancing view corridors to the ocean This project was the third engagement of FMSA by these clients. Full scope architectural services were provided.
