Situated in Falls Creek, the development is an essential and exciting new Gateway concept for the Village. Comprising two elegantly formed buildings emerging from the landscape, the view on arrival is complimented by the clearly framed aspect up to the ski fields beyond. At ground level there will be a new retail strip fronting Bogong High Plains Road enlivening the street frontage and creating weather protected spill out zones for visitors to the Village. Entries to the upper level apartments are integrated into this dynamic facade language with prominent entry canopies announcing the unique interiors of the St Falls lobbies.
Paul McAneary Architects Ltd, are delighted to announce the completion of the project Tex Tonic House 1, a double-height penthouse apartment located in Victoria, London.
The clients brief in this invited competition was to design two apartments on the top floor of the existing Central London post office and Phillips de Pury art action house in Victoria, London. The client expressed a wish for large volume ‘loft’ spaces and his desire for a contemporary design and functionality. Paul McAneary Architects’ response won the competition with a proposal for expressed natural tectonics through numerous new details, and even developing a new material type – of cast timber bronze.

This project aims to create a harmonious mix of different building typologies set in a large fully permeable garden setting. Five individually sculpted buildings accommodate a mix of town houses, apartments and detached single dwellings. The siting, formal composition, and materiality of each pays sensitive consideration to contextual issues such as surrounding building form and size, the waterfront promenade, and views beyond.
Port Phillip Estate Winery sits on a spectacular, undulating site overlooking picturesque vineyards, Westernport bay and Bass Strait. Sited atop a ridge, the building unfurls across site, spiralling out of the ground and slowly rising to form the eastern wall of the structure. This abstract, sculptural form conceals much of the mass and various programme within the building, presenting a bold and simple gesture toward the road.
The building arcs gently across the landscape, following the contours of the land and framing views to the ocean. A pair of curved earth-walls act as a solid, central spine from which smaller, more refined volumes radiate. Thus, various ‘in-between’ spaces are created, providing shelter and intimacy against the often harsh coastal environment.
The client, an Art Gallery director, asked for a contemporary home on a narrow inner city allotment. The house was to have two bedrooms plus an extra study that could be used for visiting artists to stay in, and was also to include a private subterranean gallery.
Designed as a sinuous sculpted structure, the building has been split into podium and apartment elements. These elements physically describe the different uses within the development and employ changes in height and setbacks to alter the perception of the buildings size from different angles. In perspective no entire elevation is viewed at once. The buildings have no front, rear, or side, and present a consistent level of finish when viewed from any direction.
