One longest running current project finally goes to site this week, much to the relief of all concerned. This substantial free standing dwelling in Bellevue Hill features six bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two living areas, a partially submerged three car garage, a cantilevered swimming pool and a lift. Work is also scheduled to commence shortly on residential projects in Clovelly, Point Piper, Elanora Heights, Penshurst and Kensington.
FOUNTAIN RESIDENCE COMPLETED
Our 20th townhouse project reached pratical completion this month. This compact terrace house conversion had been in the family for generations so it was important to retain several features of sentimental attachement to the owners. This included relocating an existing maple tree 1500mm to accomodate a covered rear deck.
BACK INTO MASTERPLANNING
Our recent commission for an exciting new type of resort development has allowed us to fully utilise our background in large scale mixed use infrastructure and masterplanning projects. Including hotel and villa accommodation, function rooms and conference facilities, the masterplan also has embedded within it a new type of housing product that we have been developing for the last two years with David Donaldson from Trade Fusion.
MAXING OUT AGAIN …
The recovery in the general market has seen increased workflow in the office, so we’ve had to restock and we’re now back to a full contingent of staff. Say hello to Elisa and Jarek, our two latest recruits. Jarek has joined us from Heidelberg via. Dublin and Elisa has come from Santa Giustina In Colle via. Castelfranco Veneto. Both bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from overseas and have adapted well to both the culture of the office and our Australian context.
NORTHBRIDGE HOUSE GOES TO SITE
Yet another large free standing housing project has gone to site in Northbridge. This project also sees us teaming up again with Cameron Smith from Parkzip and will be the eleventh The Quinlan Group designed project he has built for us, with several more to come over the next eighteen months. The timber and steel framing is nearing competion and you can already make out the form of the finished building.
THE QUINLAN GROUP PASSES 150
Early last month The Quinlan Group reached a significant landmark with a return client commissioning us to undertake our 150th project. Thanks must go out to all our clients who have helped us reach this milestone. Some of the more notable commissions we have worked on in that time include Southport Plaza in Perth, the Guangzhou Masterplan in China and the Governor General’s personal residence. We’ve been published in at least 10 different publications and worked on projects all around Australia and overseas. It’s been a really rewarding learning process and we look forward to working with you all on the next 150!
