Washington

Brief: The original residence was burnt down during the 2003 Canberra bush fires.  The replacement house was to be a large formal residence in keeping with the original residence.

The new residence worked with the existing landscape and pool that survived the fires.  The new residence is impressive from the street with a large formal entry off the circular driveway.  The house has strong classic forms that are in keeping with the clients wish to maintain the character of the old residence.
