Treendale

2017 BDA WA Award Winner

Category New Commercial & Public Buildings up to $2m

Treendale is an ultra-modern community sprouting up just a short drive from Bunbury. Treendale’s Commercial Precinct is located in a most prominent location on Grand Entrance, in very close proximity to The Junction Shopping Centre.

Veen’s Design Group was engaged to design 2 tenancies on a vacant corner block between the new Bunnings and the Junction Shopping Centre that had an element of difference & strong street presence on a $1M budget.

Expecting one tenancy to be a mechanic, the other tenancy was a complete unknown. With this in mind a simple split down the centre of the concrete tilt up panel construction was decided. As a diversion away from the square type elements in the new subdivision 2 curves with their backs to each other to define the 2 tenancies.

Against the dark tinting of the windows and fixed louvre features Veen’s cleverly incorporated a wood panel fill to further separate the window from the curve and highlight the curve with a striking finish.

Now fully tenanted this development is buzzing. Veen’s are proud to have satisfied their client with a modern, stand out design that was versatile enough to attract 2 such different tenants, provide a good return on investment with little maintenance so they can enjoy sailing their boat into retirement.

Sala Wine Lounge

When Local restaurateur Jason Casella sought to convert the old Hoggs Breath cafe to an up-scale all day and late night lounge bar he engaged Veen’s Design Group to bring the lounge bar vision to reality.

Featuring grand entry with an impressive large wooden door with smokey glass side lights creates the instant feel of style & sophistication that sets the scene. As you enter the lounge bar the room is warmly lit by pendant lighting hanging from local jetty timber. The centre semi circled concrete bar top takes your eye to the huge display of spirits and glassware that lines the wall to the rear of the bar softly lit by cabinetry lighting.

Salas was awarded Bronze for Excellence in the Small Bar Category Nov 2016 after only a few months operation recognising that Salas is the new go to place on the block.

Binningup

Veen’s Design Group excelled in executing the design brief for this challenging site with an 8 metre gradient on a beach sand dune overlooking the ocean at the seaside town of Binningup. The owner wanted to maximise the ocean views & sea breezes with expansive glass windows to all living rooms and bedrooms. Situated on the coast a short walk to the beach can prove relentless on building materials. The owner wanted a feature set down slab for light to feature pebbles at the entrance and bathrooms. This provided the perfect opportunity to mix the exterior materials of raw off form concrete with face brick that require absolutely no maintenance and can take the brunt of the winds, sun and salt.

Set only 1.5metre to the rear of the block Veen’s designed an under croft for the garage that lifted the 2 storeys and then offset the 2 levels giving sweeping views from all the bedrooms and living areas to maximise the ocean views. With the alfresco and terrace and living opening to outdoors, the kitchen is the hub which affords uninterrupted connectivity. The master bedroom is located on the same level to the south west catching the sea breezes. The first floor can be opened for visitors.

The mix of off form concrete internal walls meeting the lightly polished concrete floors throughout teamed with cabinetry made from warm timbers and simple white kitchen cabinetry give this home a minimalistic beach house feel with an excellence sense of function and form.

Enable South West

2017 BDA WA Award Winner

Category Best Commercial Alteration – Addition up to $1m

Enable South West are a not-for-profit organisation that provides support to individuals and their families living with disability, mental health issues, ageing and short or long term health issues in their home and in their community.

Impressed with Veen’s Design Group’s previous additions in 2011, Enable engaged their services once again to provide new additions and alterations to Enable South-West to accommodate the needs of their expanding business. The client brief was to maximise office space for the provision of future staff, additional board room and meeting areas, and to provide additional staff services including staff rooms and quiet zones for staff to take time out. A new reception area and entry canopy were also designed plus a lot more storage.

The existing facade was a mix of heritage and modern, so the new extension required integration with these two styles. A feature timber cladding was selected to break-up the colourful facade. This was also used in the Reception area, providing a link between the internal and external design.

Future provision for a second story was included in the design, to accommodate the potential future needs of this expanding business. The second story floor structure was built into this stage of the project, in order to accommodate this.

The wall on the SW corner had extensive storage innovatively added inbetween the wall blades following the passage through to the board room.

CEO Rob Holmes expressed his delight at the seamless transition between the old and new, ‘hidden’ storage, functionality AND all within budget.
