Braithwaite Building’s beautifully crafted rammed earth sanctuary, ’Kampung Batu Bigga’ or ‘Rocky Knoll Shelter’, is a shining example of the magic that can happen when you combine the visions of architect, builder and property owner.

It seamlessly integrates with its scenic surroundings, paying homage to Australia’s bush construction history with the expert use of rammed earth and Zincalume cladding. Sandstone ’wind’ walls protect against prevailing winds, and sustainability is embodied throughout with onsite harvesting of rainwater, energy and waste processing. From the outdoor kitchen to serene internal spaces, Kampung Batu Bigga harmonises architecture and occupants with nature in a thoughtful blend of design, sustainability, and connection to the Australian bush.

PICHELMANN CUSTOM BUILDING SERVICES, THE DEPT. OF DESIGN AND PRECISE CUSTOM JOINERY

Reid

Pichelmann Custom Building Services collaborated with the Department of Design and Precise Custom Joinery to revamp a three-storey townhouse in Reid for a return client. The project involved giving the property a fresh look to see it through for the next two decades, and installing a personal lift for the client.
