Project feature with A.S.H

Our recently completed Hawthorne Siblings project 101 has been featured with ASH

Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH) is a privately owned Australian timber mill and manufacturer. Established over 30 years ago, ASH has grown to become one of the largest hardwood mills in Australia and Australia's largest hardwood timber manufacturer.

The Hawthorne Siblings are a set of compact dwellings located in the inner city of Brisbane. The modern homes highlight a new, innovative way to design that responds to urban density through updated town-planning policies and clever architecture. With an emphasis on connecting with the outdoor landscape and streetscape, a combination of rich textures, natural light and an open living space quite literally ‘invites the outside in’.

Victorian Ash was used as it is an Australian species of hardwood. The light colours, softness, warmth and consistency complemented the project’s restrained palette exceptionally well. We knew the timber and flooring would be straight, easy to cut, stain, and work with, allowing the carpenters to execute the precise detailing we expect in our architecture.
