  • Some homes I've designed

    I thought that it would be a good idea to post some pictures of a few homes I have designed - so that you know I'm not just surfing the net all day.

    these homes are situated within a security complex - meaning the area is walled and you have to enter via a boom gate only on acknowledgement of the owner.

    The Architecture is supposed to be governed by a Body Corporate which had a set of strict Architectural guidelines set in place.  That stipulated the style of the building, the finishes and height restrictions.  Looking at my designs you'll notice that I circumvented the Double story rule...which was not allowed - due to the views to the Bay area....but we created basement levels - thus remaining within the height  zone.

    These aren't masterpieces - I shall add, they are plain residential buildings with a limited budget.

    The first house - was the original farm homestead (as the piece of ground used to be a vineyard and was subdivided and rezoned).....we gave it a total "makeover".

    And then - the finished product!

    HOUSE 2

    This roof was tricky - but we did it!

    HOUSE 3

    This house is actually 2 in one - A dear lady and her aged mother lives here....with their gorgeous Cats!

    HOUSE 4

    This house is still under construction......what a nightmare to get the staircase to work....the builder set out the lower level incorrectly....I was furious!  But we made a plan and the client was happy!

    These houses look like they have huge amounts of footage!  We go by square feet...this looks like it's 3,000 sq ft or so...

    So...you practice wushu....you're learning mandarin....you're in theater productions....you're raising a family...AND you design houses with strict guidelines?  YOU are truly a super woman, M!  I pale in comparison!

    Wow...someday when I'm rich (ha!), I need to re-do our roofline because we never had enough money to do the whole thing way back when (1992).  Maybe in the distant future I could use your services!
