While some industries have come to a painful halt due to COVID-19, North Shore architects Playoust Churcher are still operating business as usual. The building industry is continuing on as strongly as ever. And so are we.
Flow seems to be this elusive concept that has failed to penetrate most homes. There is always something in the way or an element that just doesn’t work… and usually you can’t quite put your finger on it. That’s the flow.
As architects, it is in our nature to get excited about design. We love to take a concept or a dream and turn it into a building that surpasses every expectation… but at Playoust Churcher Architects, we know that is not enough. A home is more than a building.
When Playoust Churcher Senior Design Architect Marielise van der Merwe looks out of our office window to the tree-lined streets of Killara, she can’t help but be inspired. Here she is on Sydney’s North Shore, designing homes that enhance the best of what Mother Nature has to offer.
Sydney’s leafy North Shore is a blend of the modern and the traditional… and that can be a trap for unsuspecting buyers. Before you set your heart on a property, if you are planning to rebuild or renovate, it’s worth speaking to your architect first.
It has been a busy year for Playoust Churcher. We have had the pleasure of working on a range of different projects with our clients… from dream home builds to heritage alterations and multi-residential developments.
