A townhouse development like no other, this project consists of three highly sustainable homes built on a single block in Brunswick, Victoria. This project is aligned with the principles of the deliberative development model known as Collaborative Development by HIP V. HYPE, under which the owners of each of the townhouses pooled resources and their respective professional expertise in architecture, sustainability and project management to design and build the three homes on Davison Street in Melbourne.
Each townhouse is split over two levels, and contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one car and considered circulation to ensure separation between public and private spaces, maximising liveability in higher density living.

18/1/21 - BINQ glazed doors create light-filled interiors at Clifton Hill House
BINQ supplied a range of lift & slide and entry doors during the renovation of the Clifton Hill House in Melbourne.
Part of a row of late 19th century terraces, this heritage dwelling had gone through several renovations over the years. The latest renovation designed by Field Office Architecture aimed to strip back all the additions with only the original front two bedrooms retained in the house. The property’s location on a block with double-width proportions to the back opened up a number of opportunities in terms of how the architects approached the brief to create a new simple, modern, light-filled living, dining and kitchen area, along with a master bedroom and studio.
Once past the original part of the dwelling, the width of the block expands rapidly, presenting an ideal configuration to create a large, north-facing courtyard in this area with both the dining and living spaces connected directly. The dining area, which sits adjacent to the courtyard also acts as a ‘gallery’ of sorts with a number of original paintings by the client sitting bathed in the natural light from the courtyard, and a series of skylights above.
The living room is wrapped on either side with full height 3.0m double glazed timber lift & slide doors, which look northwards to the new courtyard as well as the south to the rear garden. Field Office Architecture also provided the landscape design for the project.
Level 1 houses the master bedroom and walk-in robe, along with a studio for the client. The controlled north-facing light to these rooms was critical for the owner and his work, as was the Juliet balcony to the bedroom, which can be left fully open in warm weather.
A combination of dark feature timber framing along with marine grade ply and rendered recycled brickwork makes up the primary material palette externally – a simple, affordable and robust selection that juxtaposes elegantly against the heritage part of the dwelling.

17/12/20 - Large BINQ windows light up interiors in Castlemaine period home renovation
BINQ windows and doors were specified for the renovation and extension of a period home in Castlemaine, Victoria. Located close to the centre of town, the neighbourhood is steeped in history, and exemplifies the distinctive character of Victoria’s goldmining past.
Once a tiny, rundown two-bedroom cottage, the period home drew the new owners who were charmed by its facade and history. Looking to preserve its historical character, they decided to retain the existing house rather than demolish it. Instead, they added a large contemporary extension and pool to the rear.
When viewed from the street, the house shows very little change; however, the property is full of surprises and exemplifies how to sensitively respond to a location without sacrificing anything when it comes to lifestyle.
Advantage Draft Design, who worked on the renovation and extension, has designed the house for entertaining, with clever partitioning separating the original property with its private master suite and sitting room from the modern, Scandinavian-inspired extension where living, dining, kitchen (including wine cellar) and bathroom spaces open to a stunning outdoor living area including a pool and landscaped gardens.
The architects have prioritised clean simple lines, a restrained material palette and a focus on form and function, with the flow between the old and the new, indoors and out integral to the success of the design.
Large BINQ double glazed windows from the Archetto Series flood the interior spaces with light, drawing the eye to the sparkling pool and serving as extra seating with their hardwearing DuPont Corian sills. Bi-fold doors from the Azione Series have also been used extensively in the house. The suspended fireplace, designed by world-renowned French brand Focus, is both functional and a design feature. In the kitchen, DuPont Corian benchtops and integrated appliances combined with perfectly and precisely aligned drawers, create a seamless appearance.

24/11/21 - Corner House by Archier with BINQ Windows wins Residential New - Up to $1mil
The Corner House is worth spending time with. The more that the members of the jury learnt about the project; the greater their appreciation. Archier has created a home that serenely does unexpected things. The home is warm, generous, beautifully detailed and closely connected to the landscape. Further investigation reveals a home with a complex brief, that is sustainably responsible and which spirals up, in and out of the courtyard to carefully mediate between spaces. The jury congratulates Archier and encourages everyone to look further into what is a very special project.
9/11/20 - BINQ doors and windows maximise views and light in garden house
The Cricket Pitch house in Plowman, North Bondi is a two-storey garden house, designed by Scale Architecture specifically around the owner’s love of backyard cricket.
The linear organisation of the house creates a long north-facing side yard that maximises solar access to the house, while also forming the ideal dimensions for the cricket pitch.
The roof ridge runs along the diagonal of the building, creating four different facades, each responding to their orientation.
Finely detailed board finished concrete provides texture and mass to the study and entry spaces, while large timber framed glass sliding doors open from the dining and living spaces to the garden.
The upper brick volume is punctuated by horizontal windows, framed by painted steel surrounds that protect the glass from the intense summer sun.
BINQ supplied lift and slide doors and tilt and turn windows for the Cricket Pitch house.

BINQ solutions contribute to Nightingale 1’s sustainability outcomes
BINQ windows and doors were part of the ‘honest material palette’ adopted by the architects of the Nightingale 1 residential apartment project in Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Brunswick.
The first project based on the Nightingale Model – a replicable, triple bottom line housing model with an overarching priority towards social, economic and environmental sustainability, Nightingale 1 was designed by Breathe Architecture based on a strategy to ‘build more with less’. Emerging from the success of The Commons project, the architects combined a carefully selected material palette with a focus on reduction to conceptualise a building where people wanted to live.
At its heart, Nightingale is all about people, its architecture serving as a catalyst to unite a group with similar values and build a community.
Nightingale 1 is a well-designed community-led building for owner-occupiers, with buyer engagement early on in the building process ensuring the apartments were designed completely to suit the end user’s requirements.
In terms of its exceptional sustainability outcomes, Nightingale 1 is the first residential building in the country to be connected under an embedded network that is 100% fossil fuel free. Nightingale is carbon neutral in its operation – every Nightingale resident receives 100% green power at wholesale rates and cheaper than everyone else in Australia is paying for black power.

https://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/suppliers/binq/binq-doors-fulfil-design-strategy-at-the-commons
BINQ was a proud project partner for The Commons, a sustainable apartment building in Brunswick, Melbourne, designed by Breathe Architecture.
The design strategy for The Commons was to build more with less – to give space and height, light and air. Binq’s lift & slide doors have helped achieve the project’s design intent with residents of the eco-friendly high performance apartments enjoying being cool in summer and warm in winter.
With the apartments located next to a train line, Binq lift & slides provide the ultimate in acoustic performance shutting out all the noise of a busy city train line.
The Commons is about sustainable urbanisation – a replicable triple bottom line development with apartments that are spacious, generous, simple, affordable and sustainable, and add value to the community. Made up of a series of small, but delightful architectural moments, The Commons, at its core, is about people, not architectural form; what is most impressive is the way in which people use the building and interact with each other.
It’s amazing to observe the sense of community and camaraderie in the building. The Commons is filled with great neighbours and good people, and the architecture has been the catalyst for this outcome.
