PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Through extensive experience in project management and construction implementation over the past 25 years, EDH Group has develpoped an intrinsic understanding of these industries. During this time we have been acknowledged by local government authorities for quality design principals. With numerous architectural awards being granted in residential design and their interiors.
With our preceding reputation, directly related to our attention to detail throughout the entire documentation process allows alternate construction techniques and building methodologies to be applied on a ‘fit for purpose’ basis. With our extensive knowledge of building construction accrued over the last 25 years, the final approved processes have always provided a practical solution to define a cost analysis whilst maintaining its architectural content.
NEDS BEACH HOUSE
Client: Baumgart
Location: Shelly Beach, NSW

Building Area: 274m²

Awards: 2015 Newcastle Architecture Awards Residential Architecture + 2016 best of Houzz
Ned's Beach House exhibits simple durable elements; concrete, ironbark and steel impart family permanence. Flanked by inconspicuous homes are spectacular lake and ocean views. The eastern boundary Norfolk Island pine is immortalised in an operable Cor-ten west façade. Stairs reach a 'citadel' around a concrete blade wall which penetrates inside the garage and west pavilion kitchen. Whether concrete, ironbark or steel, each side of each wall is the same. Despite this rule, our elements combine subtly, in different ways in each room. Off-form concrete tie-rods respect a constant grid from basement to rooftop 'Caboose'. Exceptions are the 'firewall' behind a hanging fireplace and two 'apostles' that define a central 'Cool' court between the east and west pavilions.

The client's brief for this site directed the design to impart the families permanence on the site, to respond accordingly to the sites context and to encourage minimal maintenance by providing appropriate longevity and robust materals for a successful life-cycle approach.
A unique design utilising concrete precast + post tensioned concrete wall and roof slabs. Polished concrete + engineered timber floors created a juxtoposed design ideology to emphasise the modern architectural material pallet to encapsulate the site's demographics and desired built fabric.
