Dave's Pie Palace | commercial shop

Dave's Pie Palace, donnison street, Gosford | food premises | completed

Front view of the shop - shop located at the rough area of Gosford CBD, and its opposite to Union Hotel and night club, and close to Blush Nightclub and Central Coast Leagues Club. The idea is to create quick serving, durable, environmental friendly and attractive place for people in Gosford. As it is the only shop open 24 hours during weekend, it also serves partying people from surrounding clubs.

Serving counter is high and to stop anyone trying to jump over, stainless steel providing the required durability and easy clean. Counter is also wide and deep, allows plenty of space. Stainless steel bench is inserted at front of the shop provide comfort for customers and also attract attention. Addition space is provided by extra timber benches. Part of the timber bench is fixed on front access door to the left, it maintain the aesthetic of the design and also provide functional access. Recycled timber feature cladding used on top also put wast material in a good use. Light box on ceiling + down lights under bench and top of the counter highlight all the features, creating a bar like effect provides great attention at night time.      

  

First, Great respect to the man make all this happened ! Dave Malcolm my step Dad and Dave's Pie Palace owner. Im appreciated the opportunity given to me to design and construction managing of my first completed project ! Here is the man himself tidy up the shop...   

Shop front view

Shop front view from inside 

Interior uses white tiles all the way up to ceiling, this create a easy clean kitchen and serving area. It also perceptively make the shop look lighter, clean and bigger. Easy clean grey floor tile to match the shop front and equipment.

here is the 'secreat front door', its a bit fun in design  

Existing interior, picture took on first site visit.

Golf House



Golf house | concept design: beach front property with a sloping site and magnificent pacific ocean view. the brife is to design a large family house. However form environmental point of view architect should try to reduce the impact that a develpment have on the land. and the fact in most of cases people tend to focus on what they think what they may have in the future rather than what they need to have now. Some reckon thats one of the reason why average house in australia have the biggest floor areas in the world.

Address this issue, concept design propose three small pavilians lightly set on the site rather than one massive block to cut down the mass. the number of bedrooms also reduced. it consist a large open plan living entertainment space on ground level which separate main bedroom (upper level) and guest rooms (lower level). large sliding doors are proposed to the living area when it opens that will joining living area with central courtyard to form a massive entertainment area. 

Environmental walkway to the beach and rooftop green terrace as natural elements has been placed into the development. It signals the intension of connecting architecture with environment.

Tony's Garage

southwest perspective

Tony's Garage | raymond road | under construction: the site is a very steep with no courtyard. it has a double story timber house at rear of the propoerty. The client Tony wants a double garage for his part time joy - car workshop, also his wife Michelle and the kids want courtyard area that would improve the quality of their outdoor living. 

Due to the site condition, the garage has to constrcuted on the street boundary and it covers most of the propoerty width. Avoid creating garage door that shut off the street is one of the important design aspect. 

The solution is to articulate, reduce visual impact, sun lit and greening the street.  articulate by having feature wall, high quality texture and pattern to the garage frame and doors; reduce the visual impact by having glass balustrade, widening and set back stair access and placing feature plants.
