CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION & REFURBISHING PTY LTD “BASIN BEACH HOUSE”

HOUSING & POOL AWARDS 2020

NO ROOM TO HIDE

L

ocated on top of a sand dune behind the basin at the northern end of Mona Vale Beach on a 1200m2 block, the Basin Beach House project involved the construction of a new detached garage and single-level house with mezzanine master bedroom. The main house is a curved pavilion roof of bent and curved structural-steel hoops, a plywood ceiling and copper standing-seam roof. It forms a complex curve that flows in two directions asymmetrically to the floorplan below. There is no room to hide in this house — the roof structure is sited on exposed, structural off-form concrete walls that form dividing walls for the spaces within the house’s ground floor.

The detached garage has perimeter walls entirely of B-grade sandstone logs, with an offform concrete roof and floor slabs. It is buried into the hillside and the sandstone retaining walls are within 2m of the adjoining property’s garage complex, resulting in difficult temporary propping and shoring in the soft sand.

Custom blackbutt timber windows set at 50 degrees form a gallery of windows along the southern elevation of the house and on two bays to the northern elevation. Custom-built sliding timber doors enclose the space without timber frames; the head and bottom tracks are set into the surrounding structure, necessitating extreme precision for each of the structural elements that they close against.

Overall, the biggest challenge faced on the project was that the architect allowed very little building tolerance within the design.

The main house’s structural-steel frame was fabricated, fully erected and tested off site to ensure it could be installed to within millimetre accuracy as the architect would not allow structural grout between the concrete and steel connections. The site’s extreme coastal environment also meant no cutting and welding of structural steel on the site; a full 3D computer model of the complete structure was drawn up prior to fabrication to avoid this.

The complex curve of the main structural roof created challenges — both in the copper roofing above and the ceiling below. Standing seam sheets were individually hand cut to allow even spacing of the seams and compensate for the bi-directional curving of the roof.

The plywood sheets that form the ceiling below were individually hand cut by the carpenters on site to create the even ship-lap pattern. The ceiling sheets were delivered pre-finished and it took five carpenters wearing cotton gloves to press each sheet to the curve of the roof.

The design did not allow typical flashings or details to stop water ingress; all timber door jambs were installed with a hidden weather bar routed into the concrete behind in place of traditional storm moulds. The fixed glazing to the ground floor was installed directly to the structural concrete against exposed brass weather bars cut directly into the concrete.

The custom finishes meant a lot of the finishing work on site was carried out using Capital Construction & Refurbishing’s own labour. The company’s carpenters formed and poured all off-form concrete; including benchtops. They installed all sliding doors and raked windows and also worked with all sub-contractors to ensure work was carried out to the highest standards. This allowed Capital Construction to have control over the quality of finishes, ensuring both client and architect satisfaction.

JUDGES COMMENTS: This job shows you cannot beat experience. The result of an unusual design brief, this complex and challenging project was taken on at a fixed price and proves the skill and talent of the builder. A wonderful job of which the builder can be very proud.

FIRSTYLE HOMES PTY LTD “THE NORWOOD WITH DELTA FACADE”

HOUSING & POOL AWARDS 2020

A FOREVER HOME

T

he Norwood at Marsden Park required the Firstyle Homes’ design team to apply deliberate design adaptability to establish a home that offers the perception of grand living, specifically applicable to current lot-size controls. This approach created the Norwood, Firstyle Homes’ ‘forever home’.

During the design phase, the in-house design team created multiple facade and floorplan variations within the Norwood collection, suited to all lifestyles and various lot sizes from 12m upwards.

Reinforced by strong market desire and requests for flexible open-plan living, the displayed floorplan offers three spacious ground-floor living areas, four bedrooms, two first-floor living areas and a stunning underroofline alfresco with optional pergola, which

was added to showcase cohesive indooroutdoor living.

The ground floor includes a stunning kitchen, complete with a highly practical butler’s food prep workspace and ample storage in the walkin pantry.

Primarily, the Norwood’s ease of design adaptability suits multi-generational families.

With a desirable first-floor open balcony room, it provides the luxury of separate living areas coupled with impressive social living areas.

The Homeworld Marsden Park site showcases the Delta façade, highly coveted for its enduring, timeless street appeal. The facade expresses the current industry and market preference for mixed building materials, and the facade artfully demonstrates a blend of multiple materials and finishes.

JUDGES COMMENTS: This new award was hotly contested. When assessing display homes, the judges particularly look for good design, exceptional attention to detail, value for money and how adaptable a home is to suit multiple-facing sites to maximise the aspect for the living areas in the home.

The judges poured over the winners of the display home categories but eventually decided on the Norwood by Firstyle Homes because this home amply satisfies the criteria. The Norwood suits a multi-generational family with its three spacious ground-floor living areas, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The judges wish to congratulate Firstyle Homes on the Norwood and the other quality homes that it submitted in this year’s awards.

JAKE KEARNS ASPIRE CONSTRUCTIONS “KIAMA BENDS “

HOUSING & POOL AWARDS 2020

ASPIRING FOR GREATNESS

T

he successful career of Jake Kearns is an inspirational story for any young builder who is looking to start out in the building industry, work hard and eventually run their own highly respected residential construction business. Founding director of Aspire Constructions, Jake left school after Year 10, aged 15, to pursue a carpentry apprenticeship with his dad, a local builder in Moorebank.

Towards the end of his apprenticeship, another builder who Jake would occasionally labour for on high-rise residential builds saw Jake’s potential and asked him to come on board.

Jake took this opportunity to grow and started work as a leading hand at 18.

Following completion of his carpentry apprenticeship, Jake went straight into studying for his builder’s license and became a licensed builder by 21. His new boss, a very passionate member of the St George division of the Master Builders Association, spoke very highly of the association and introduced Jake to it. Jake then became site foreman for this company, running high-rise residential unit projects at 20.

It was here that Jake learned how to run a job and work under high pressure while delivering projects on time and within budget.

After marrying and having his first child, Jake’s dreams of becoming a builder on his own began to pull and at 25 he left his boss and the company who had taught him so much to embark on his dream of becoming a builder running his own residential building company.

Aspire Constructions was then born — a big step to take, as Jake had a young family to support.

Jake has been the sole director of Aspire Constructions since its creation in 2006.

Starting out with small local renovations, Jake’s reputation as an honest builder who will get the job done right slowly grew through word of mouth.

Aspire has been a member of the Master Builders Association for almost 10 years, winning 11 NSW awards, one South Coast region award, two National nominations and one National award from the association.

Jake isn’t just passionate about building, but making sure his workmanship stands up to the highest standards that the Master Builders Association demands. He ensures that he always delivers projects that don’t just look good but are also of the highest quality. It is for this reason that Aspire has submitted projects in the awards every year since 2012 and will continue to do so, as it inspires Jake and the team to always do their best and give clients the best outcome possible.

JUDGES COMMENTS: We were impressed to see a young builder take on such a complex project — a fixed-priced contract on a difficult site. He had to overcome challenging engineering problems, with the second storey constructed from off-form concrete supported on large cantilevered sections. There is extensive and particular detailing throughout the house, which he managed to bring together to complete a magnificent job. Excellent and impressive work!

Healthy housing The future is here Improve your family’s health, comfort and environmental impact with Passive House.

B

lue Eco Homes have been building environmentally sustainable homes for over 15 years.

Several years ago, Blue Eco Homes’ Director Joe Mercieca wanted to take it a step further and started looking for his next challenge. He found it in Passive House (passivhaus) standard, something he calls “sustainability on steroids.”

In 2019 Blue Eco Homes launched their Sapphire Passive House — Australia’s first certified Passive House built to BALFZ — the highest Bushfire Attack Level regulations. The carbon-zero display home, based in the Blue Mountains, is one of 30 Concept Designs created by Blue Eco Homes.

Mr Mercieca said that he is excited to be a part of a small but growing movement of Australian builders who are choosing to build with the health of homeowners and the environment in mind.

over 75,000 kWh of electricity over the next 10 years. Even without solar panels, the house only uses an average of 13.3 kW per day — around $1.76 at today’s rates.”

Also contributing to the energy efficiency, health and comfort of the home is the extreme air-tightness (0.39 air changes / hour @ 50 kPa), high-performance triple glazing, insulation, and a heat recovery ventilation system which all help to keep the home’s internal temperature sitting around 20 – 25 degrees year round.

“There’s minimal reliance on artificial heating or cooling and it’s incredibly comfortable,” Mr Mercieca says. “The ventilation system brings filtered clean air throughout the entire house so there’s no Co2 and toxin build up inside.”

Blue Eco Homes have the experience and resources to tackle most challenges.

By working collaboratively with clients, designers, contractors and suppliers, Blue Eco Homes is taking the lead in integrating new and emerging environmental practices, concepts and technology to continuously deliver the most ecofriendly homes.

“Passive House is really the complete package,” Mr Mercieca said. “It moves beyond minimum building requirements and looks to the future. When new environmental practices, concepts or technology emerge, we aim to integrate these into our current building practices.

Stepping inside the 238 square metre, four-bedroom display home named the ‘Sapphire’, it soon becomes clear it’s one of a kind, designed with the future in mind.

“This house is built on physics,” Mr Mercieca explains. “Every single component is calculated and we don’t make any assumptions.

“We analyse the climate and weather data at this location to ensure we create the most energy efficient building. We’ve also installed 16 LG NeON® 2 Black solar panels, which are expected to deliver

Although very popular in Europe, Passive House is only just taking off in Australia with Blue Eco Homes’ ‘Sapphire’ being one of only a few certified in NSW.

WENTWORTH FALLS ‘ART HOUSE’ With an extreme bushfire rating and a 60-degree slope, the Wentworth Falls home posed many challenges. The floor plan was designed to cascade through different levels, following the incredibly sleep slope of the land, resulting in a large open plan and high-volume space.

To ensure fire safety, all windows were fitted with bushfire resilient shutters and all external materials have been tested to withstand heat loads of over 70kW. The home was built to reflect an industrial and natural look with raw salt and pepper polished and insulated

concrete floors. The external walls are precast insulated concrete panels. The soaring concrete internal walls showcase the clients extensive art collection.

REGIONAL NSW ‘UPSIDE DOWN AKUBRA HOUSE’ The ‘Upside-down-Akubra house’ in Regional NSW strikes the perfect balance of pragmatic function and creative design with a little hint of a truly rustic Australian look.

Situated in the middle of a dry and dusty bull paddock the completely self-sufficient, off-grid family home is set atop a gently sloping hill on a 314-hectare cattle farm in Regional NSW. The house takes in the surrounding vistas across paddocks and gum trees.

All of the living areas and three bedrooms have been arranged around the perimeter of the house to take in the panoramic views. The entire home is sheltered by a generous roof which maximises water catchment and provides shade through the hotter months.

The house includes in screed hydronic heating and cooling system, providing a sustainable solution for temperature control throughout the home. The HRV (heat recovery ventilation) system installed supplies fresh air 24/7 throughout the home.

The client’s brief for a simple, robust and self-sufficient house has been met using a combination of high-tech solutions and thoughtful passive design.

The structure includes locally sourced Wondabyne sandstone, copper and recycled karri hardwood timber floors, walls and full-height doors.

A lift accesses the home at street level, with an 18m drop to a horizontal underground tunnel with an escalator to access the home — an amazing concept and building ingenuity.

Driftwood, Woolooware

The entry is part of a boutique coastal townhouse complex of three in Woolooware. The townhouse ideally suits a “downsizer” who does not want to compromise on room sizes and home comforts but does want to forgo the restrictions that a large home and garden put on one’s retirement lifestyle. The builder certainly had his challenges with an existing concrete-lined sewer tunnel traversing the block and existing tree canopies from this and neighbouring blocks that needed to be maintained. The quality of build, fixtures and fittings make this townhouse a worthy winner in this highly competitive category.

The Hensley development is located in a high-density living area surrounded by large residential buildings. The challenges the builder experienced were naturally the tight, corner block site, which had limited access for material handling and storage. Even more challenging was to mitigate traffic disruptions to this busy neighbourhood with strict traffic management cycles.

The Crescent Darling Point is the epitome of luxury and design. The high quality of these state-ofthe-art apartments highlights Impero’s constant efforts to produce projects that raise the bar even when faced with numerous challenges that had the potential to impact on the end product.

This demonstrates Impero’s constant striving for excellence in construction. The Crescent Residences Darling Point is located in the heart of one of Sydney’s most prominent and affluent eastern suburbs, consisting of a multi-dwelling residential development comprising of exclusive, whole-floor apartments. But the development had its share of challenges — having to deal with latent conditions undermining neighbours’ building structures, innovative shoring solutions to reduce any risk of damages, and working with authorities and around live power. From the very outset of the project, the focus of the design has been on the ‘whole of life’ of the development.

The judges were impressed in how the interior is influenced by the streamlined silhouettes, meticulous craftsmanship and contrasting congruence of Sydney Harbour’s superyachts.

Clearly a deserving winner for its category.

The project primarily involved the renovation and replacement works to the external facade and balcony balustrades and shortly grew to the full remediation of the existing 80-year-old steel windows, which included the removal of corrosion and lead paint and the replacement of the existing glass with low-E glass. A number of engineering challenges arose during the balcony renovations that meant the full reconstruction of some balconies due to the severe corrosion of reinforcing bars and the later assessment that the original structural design of the balconies was non-compliant. Excellent project planning and communication with the owners and tenants meant the work was completed with all residents remaining in situ for the duration of the works.

The judges were impressed with the overall finish of the project, in particular, the rejuvenation of the steel windows.

Bau Group converted an old run-down storage facility into a home, incorporating lots of natural light throughout. The builder captured the designer/architect brief, in delivering a home portraying simple, minimal, clean lines of walls and finishes without compromise to detail.

Although the brief focused on simple, clean lines, there was a minimum tolerance to work with of + or – one millimeters. Bau Group achieved the desired results through quality, accuracy and the delivery of excellence in finishes.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY – HOUSING UP TO $800,000

VIVA LIVING HOMES

Blackheath “Stepping Stone” This is a good example of a passive solar healthy home and how it can still result in a beautiful and extremely energy-efficient home.

Its simple, beautiful design and energy-efficient features prove that homes can still work, even in Blackheath’s challenging climate. The exterior walls are 400mm-thick lime rendered strawbale rated at R7.1, and the internal walls are 100mm earth-rendered cob. This combination provides an insulating perimeter with a core of thermal mass to moderate and stabilise the internal temperature. The clay and lime renders allow the walls to breathe which adjusts the internal humidity to be between 40 to 70 per cent.

Upside Down Akubra House, Nundle This Australian country farmhouse was inspired by the wide brim of an upside-down Akubra hat. The off-grid family home is set atop a gently sloping hill on a 314-hectare cattle farm in regional NSW, taking in the surrounding vistas across paddocks and gum trees. All living areas and bedrooms have been arranged around the perimeter of the house to take in the panoramic views. Utility rooms are in a central ‘service’ core with skylights and ventilation. Outside features a large patio with barbecue area, an outdoor room and fire pit, all sheltered by a generous roof, which maximises water catchment and provides shade through the hotter months.

LAWSON & LOVELL BUILDING SERVICES Castle Cove

The brief was to maintain the existing footprint and utilise part of the existing structure, and to create a contemporary building that embraces and complements the natural setting with state-of-the-art, energy-saving installations.

Maximising the Sydney Harbour and nature reserve views was paramount. The house is in a flame zone, so thorough planning of the home’s protection was undertaken with a fire consultant.

The clients wanted to keep the house as green and thermally efficient as possible, including high levels of thermal insulation, and all windows and doors are double glazed.

BLUE ECO HOMES Sapphire, Faulconbridge

The Sapphire is a quality-constructed display home and a Certified Passive House, built to achieve quantifiable energy efficiency as well as comfort through five design principles: extreme air tightness, continuous insulation, highperformance windows and doors, no thermal bridges and a Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation system. Passive House residents enjoy excellent indoor air quality and temperature year-round. Healthy houses use specific methods and materials to reduce risk of condensation, mould, electromagnetic fields, toxins, chemical off-gassing and other risks to health.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT − HOUSING $1 MILLION & OVER

BLUE ECO HOMES Wentworth Falls

The Wentworth Falls design is located in the Blue Mountains, with an incredibly steep slope. The floorplan steps down through different levels and follows the slope of the land, resulting in a large open-plan, high-volume space. Concrete, steel, and bushfire shutters were used to comply with strict bushfire (BAL-FZ) regulations. The look and feel of the building had to be industrial with raw concrete floors and walls. Other materials used were glass, recycled timber, old sleepers, rusted steel and stone. The house exceeds the BASIX water target by 66 per cent and the energy target by 53 per cent.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT − MEDIUM DENSITY OPEN PRICE CATEGORY

STEELE ASSOCIATES

FERN Passivhaus Apartments, Alexandria The builders chose to make The Fern Passivhaus because it is the most rigorous, comprehensive method of green building, with predictably high levels of comfort and efficiency. The builders faced many challenges and found innovative solutions. One was to design and build Sydney’s first structural thermal breaks, to eliminate thermal bridges, at approximately a third of the European price. The Fern uses triple glazing in windows and doors, with argon-filled gaps. This keeps the inside cosy in winter, and double LowEmissivity coating keeps summer heat out. Insulation is roughly double typical of Sydney apartments, and is installed as a continuous barrier.

Save time and money with advanced cladding technology

T

he new generation of Magnesium Oxide cladding is set to save on material and labour costs while offering peace of mind to property owners in maximum Bush fire conditions BAL FZ.

For many trades in the building and construction industry, the change from plasterboard and CFC cannot come quickly enough. Citing deficiencies in exterior weather protection to the multiple layers required for some fire walls, costs can additionally blow-out, with many of these materials requiring expensive and specialised tools for application and installation.

The new 2nd generation of Magnesium Oxide cladding (MgSO4) and sheeting by FireCrunch is the answer to most forms of internal and external cladding.

82

It is lightweight, can be used on a variety of framing in steel or timber surfaces, is installed easily requiring less labour and can also be used as a fire wall offering a total fire block.

While the earlier types of regular MgO board were effective protection from fire, they had a poor surface finish and a tendency to absorb moisture if not properly sealed.

Through new technology, FireCrunch has achieved high loadbearing (55kN) AT FRL 90/90/90 CSIRO- tested and compliant, verified fire-proof building products, while offering high-quality, double-slurry surfaces and giving a first-class finish.

It can be used as underlay flooring, tile backers, shower base and once primer- sealed can be painted with normal water- based paints, texture paints or renders.

With costs as low as $18.00 per sqm, MgSO4 offers top fire rating from NATA, CSIRO and Resolute Labs. MgSO4 cladding will handle up to FRL 90/90/90 (NATA Labs tested) with a single sheet each

MBA NSW | Issue Three | July-September 2020 | HOUSING & POOL AWARDS

side of a 90mm cavity frame.

MgSO4 cladding will handle up to FRL 90/90/90 (NATA Labs tested) with a single 10mm sheet each side of a 90mm cavity frame.

It has endured real-time bush fire simulation tests and full-scale furnace tests at 1000.

MgSO4 is regularly nominated by architects, specifiers and QS/ surveyors, and fire engineers and certifiers.

The board contributes 95% less Co2 than plasterboard. It eliminates the destruction of millions of trees to make paper lined plasterboard and so is more planer friendly The material is suitable for fire separation walls in high-rise residential and commercial construction and for bushfire BAL FZ and flood-prone areas and available to clients Australia-wide.

Part of a new house build on a waterfront property, this pool and spa are divided by granite stepping stones and glass windows, and the spa has an infinity edge for water to run over a glass window through pebbles in the balance tank. The weir wall is tiled in white glass mosaics and the pool interior is tiled with individual Sukabumi stone tiles from Bali. The pool is the focal point of the house and when lit by multi-coloured LED lights, can also be seen from the house’s upper levels. A water feature cascades from the upper level – the water sheet has been cleverly hidden in the wall of the house.

This pool celebrates spectacular river views, with plenty of poolside seating and space for outdoor living. The position of the integrated spa ensures breathtaking views from all angles. Built on a large steep block, the pool sits on a high vantage point along the property edge. This position made for a tricky construction. All excavation was by hand, and piering, retaining walls and steps were required.

Merbau timber steps, seating and storage blend seamlessly with the surrounds, while the stonework and contrasting glass mosaic interior tiles remain harmonious with the landscape.

With the pool 5m out of ground on one side, and 2.6m on the other, the structural design and construction of this pool was extraordinary. All materials had to be carried in by hand. The pool’s height places it in the canopy of surrounding trees, and the infinity edge and glass fencing gives the pool spectacular visual impact.

The renovation required all planning to be done before the project began and as the pool was just 8m from Sydney Harbour, Freedom Pools needed to plan for the water table before emptying the pool. Due to the poor ground, Freedom Pools didn’t want to rip out the old pool but worked with the existing pool. The new 13m-long pool was formed inside the existing pool, the shallow end was extended for more length, and the spa was built on top of the existing pool.

A NEW AND SAFER CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME — THERMOSTATIC SHOWER MIXING VALVES — A thermostatic shower mixes water to a set constant temperature, even if other taps, toilets or washing machines are in use. If the cold-water supply to the shower were to fail, the shower will instantly shut off, preventing any chance of scalding.

The shower is turned on with a simple twist of the right handle. The temperature is controlled by rotating the left handle and limited to 38°C as a safety feature by an override stop button. Depressing this safety button allows the user to rotate to a higher temperature up to 45°C maximum, or rotate the handle in the opposite direction for a cooler shower.

Cool-Touch technology ensures a low surface temperature of the valve, safe to touch or hold while showering. The surface temperature will not exceed 20°C when operating at 38°C. Therm-Oz is ideal for families with young

children, the elderly as well as those who require assistive care.

There are many choices of shower kits and combinations available such as overhead rain heads with a diverter for a handset.

For new building projects the thermostatic shower valve is supplied with a fixing bracket that allows the positioning of the shower on the wall, giving the correct spacing for pipes.

Therm-Oz also offers a Reno Kit that replaces any two-tap manual shower over to thermostatic with no pipework or tiling alterations. It can be fitted vertically or horizontally.

Constant temperature Safe showering Simple to use Cool-touch technology No electics Fully approved Available with or without handset & slide rail For renovations & New builds Easy to install 5 year guarantee

This is a new era for showers in Australia, whether you are building, reconfiguring or renovating, please visit the Therm-Oz website.

CRONULLA POOLS Elizabeth Bay

This homeowner requested a light-filled home that allowed for their own private views but still retain privacy and peace. A one-of-a-kind 15m pool-and-pond combination was created for the architect-designed heritage home and features custom black granite tiles, in-floor cleaning and a tranquil pond with feature fig tree. Located in busy Elizabeth Bay, with close neighbouring properties, this was a complex site due to the potential location of the outdoor space being on a 5m-high cliff. A standout creation for Cronulla Pools.
