Anderson Architecture
Anderson Architecture is a Sydney practice established in 2002 under the direction of registered architect Simon Anderson. It specialises in sustainable, high-quality homes, with a team of experienced architects who manage each project from design to construction, and describes itself as "experts in all things off-grid". In their words, "A philosophy of humanising contemporary architecture and connecting with nature are integral to all our projects."
Their work on Lunchbox shows the range. Suntrap House is a Sydney renovation that uses a clever addition to trap the sun and keep the home comfortable. Off Grid House in the Megalong Valley is fully self-sufficient for power, water and sewage and built to cope with a BAL-FZ (Flame Zone) bushfire rating. Pocket Passiv squeezes a Passive House studio onto a 27-square-metre footprint behind a terrace in Glebe, and Govetts Leap Bach in Blackheath is an 81-square-metre, bushfire-resilient retreat designed on passive and Passivhaus principles.
