CplusC Architectural Workshop on Lunchbox Architect
CplusC Architectural Workshop is a Sydney firm of architects and construction professionals, led by architect and master builder Clinton Cole. For more than 25 years it has designed inventive, highly personalised homes, and it can build them too, taking a project from first concepts through approvals to construction "with no hand-offs".
The practice describes itself as a leader in regenerative design, aiming for homes with "a net positive impact on the environment", and it is a certified B Corp. Its services also span heritage alterations, landscape and interior architecture, and bushfire compliance. "We thrive on constraints," it says, using its mix of disciplines to find ways around difficult sites.
On Lunchbox, its work ranges from St Albans House, a small weekender on a historic rural site near the Hawkesbury, to inner-city renovations such as Dulwich Hill House, Annandale Residence and Oye Mi Canto House, and the urban-farming home Aquas Perma Solar Firma House.
