manifesto

At Brutal Art, we exercise DESIGN RESTRAINT: taking

things out to keep things simple, and making these few

simple things good.

At Brutal Art, we are PROCESS DRIVEN: respond to

change, able to adapt and remain fl exible.

At Brutal Art, we drive EARLY IMPLEMENTATION:

preventing potential issues by gathering information fi rst,

making early decisions with end buildability in mind.

At Brutal Art, we offer a COMPLETE SERVICE: overseeing

the entire process with a mutual benefi t attitude for all

stakeholders, ensuring smooth transition between each

step.

At Brutal Art, we value FREQUENT COLLABORATION: small

amounts of communication often is paramount, keeping all

parties up to date at all times.

At Brutal Art, we are SITE SPECIFIC: maximising

the opportunities of the site context – physically,

environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.

At Brutal Art, we THINK GLOBALLY: responding to relevant

contemporary issues and applying a local solution.

At Brutal Art, we are PROBLEM SOLVERS: using the power

of design to fi nd answers to the issues.

“This often brutal and

always mercenary

industry is, in fact,

involuntarily directed

at a remote distance by

intellectual and artistic

passion beyond its

ken.”

team

Simone is one of the core team here at Brutal Art Design

+ Build, being one of the fi rst to be hired several years

ago. She continues to be a key infl uencer in our design

thinking, applying the much stricter German detail and

sustainability standards and philosophies to our team

here in Australia.

She is a key infl uencer in holistic design – understanding

the role architecture plays in the context of the Australian

lifestyle.

Esther also brings a wealth of Design + Build experience

from internationally reknowned European and Australian

architects.

The 7 Steps Process

The 7 Steps are seven natural, sequential groupings

of tasks that must be accomplished for any property

development project:

* Step 1: Assessment

* Step 2: Strategy

* Step 3: Concept

* Step 4: Application

* Step 5: Detail

* Step 6: Build

* Step 7: Realisation

Each of the 7 Steps has a goal that serves as a signifi cant

milestone for the project:

To provide a Property Development Assessment that •

gives a project a High (good to go), Medium (Proceed

with caution) or Low (no go) level of confi dence to

proceed – before spending too much time or money.

To produce a Strategic Business Plan for the project •

that will ensure all project partners (fi nancier,

accountant, solicitor, planners, architect & builder etc)

are on the same page.

To produce concept drawings that satisfy Size-Finish-•

Cost criteria and have pre-planning approval.

To obtain a Town Planning Permit.•

To produce a detailed working drawing and •

documentation package.

To complete the dwellings with Certifi cate of •

Occupancy and individual titles (where subdivision is

involved).

To realise your return on investment•

project name Surrey Hills House

date Completed 2008

awards 2008-09 HIA CSR winner

Residential Alterations

and Additions

design statement

The Surrey Hills house attempts to redefi ne the concept

of suburban renovation and adaptation. The framing

of the house was stripped back to its skeletal timber

members, forming the basis of a major renovation while

retaining as much of the existing conditions as possible.

An additional front articulation mas was added to create a

formal entry into the building - a deliberate central voided

space.

Programmatically, the living/dining/kitchen area is located

in the north wing; bedrooms and other associated

ancillary rooms are located in the south wing.

This project exemplifi es the ability of a client/builder/

designer collaboration. The builder suggested to retain

the existing structure in an effort to minimise costs and

promote a sustainable agenda. Whilst there are more

unknowns for the designer in the retention of the old, all

issues were design-solved in a process driven approach.

Further, it evolves from a discourse of history with layers

of meaning, encouraging a narrative of the site that is not

present in new construction.





project name Rivulet

date November 2007-present

project type residential estate design

site area 20,000 sqm

council Nillumbik Shire Council

design statement

Rivulet is the urban design scheme for a spectacular

20 hectare vacant creek-side site in Diamond Creek,

approximately 25km NE of Melbourne. The approved

development is a 79-lot subdivision; a combination of

single houses, townhouses and apartments ranging

from one to fi ve bedroom dwellings, and a mix of social

housing and privately owned residences.

Rivulet is an exercise in a successful design-led town

planning process with a deliberate sustainability agenda.

It demonstrates how to listen to the council, liaise with

the council, respond to feedback from the council, and

ultimately serve up a design solution that exceeds their

own housing policy documents. Its an example of mutual

benefi t where the client’s desires to develop the land

and council’s need for innovative housing proposals are

aligned. This results in a showcase project that promotes

the natural vegetation and topography of the specifi c site,

and aims to create a quality of housing that - from an

Ecologically Sustainable Design perspective - thinks global

and acts local.





project name Derring Lane houses

date completed Nov 2009

project type two lot subdivision

site area 550 sqm

council Kingston City Council

design statement

The Derring Lane houses are two luxury 3 bedroom units

on a corner site in Cheltenham. There was an opportunity

to create a design statement using bold forms, a mixed

palette of materials and articulation with overhangs and

setbacks. Both houses sit prominently on the site and

relate to each other, but retain their own personality

also. This is an example of how to maximise the site

and use land to create two large family homes on a

relatively small footprint - an example of successful urban

consolidation.

project name Allanby

date completed TP 2009

project type three lot subdivision

site area 929 sqm

council Glen Eira City Council

design statement

The Allanby project is a contemporary design of three

townhouses in Ormond. It utilises common materials in

residential housing in a new manner with bold formal

gestures. The sweeping roof is designed to open up the

facade to the north, whilst protecting the existing amenity

of the neighbours to the south. There is a large thermal

massive wall running through the townhouses - this is

designed to act as an internal wayfi nding guide as well as

providing a connecting visual cue across the site.

The dwellings are all designed with Ecologically

Sustainable Design principles (ESD) at their core. The

passive techniques of north facing living areas, external

shading devices, deep overhangs on the appropriate

orientations plus many other considerations contribute to

the thermal comfort of the internal occupants and lower

embodied energy of construction materials and lower life

cycle costs. In short, this is a design which aims for low

carbon emissions.
