Over the years the design section has produced buildings across the spectrum of commercial, residential, industrial, educational and medical. The construction section provides specialised services to implement the construction of complex building solutions. In 1986 the specialist inspection service was formed to meet the needs of clients requiring expertise in determining causal issues relating to building failures and advice relating to disputes in building matters. Called ‘The Housing Workshop’, it was the first building inspection service to be set up in Australia. THW was brought under the parent company ARCHImedia in 1990 and continues today with the same commitment to assisting with dispute resolution, forensic architecture, expert advice and expert witness services. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eb8a512b2acbe6aa4f3706b/1589159795330/main.jpg About - Today, ARCHImedia offers its clients the same range of professional services that assist them in the process of building design, buying, altering, renovating and the specialist area of forensic architecture and dispute resolution. With the acquired design and construction expertise, ARCHImedia is able to offer sound practical advice backed up by many years of qualifications, experience, knowledge and observation. Our clients form the backbone of our company. Without them ARCHImedia could not exist. As a partner in our business we offer them the best service available to solve their problems. In return we ask them to help us to be a successful organisation. The hundreds of letters of thanks and constant referrals tell us that our work is well done and our clients happy. https://www.archimedia.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2020-05-12 https://www.archimedia.com.au/the-principal daily 0.75 2020-05-04 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eafe80acac3d44ef300ff14/1589159553680/Scan+92.jpeg The Principal https://www.archimedia.com.au/home daily 1.0 2020-05-14 https://www.archimedia.com.au/home/architecture monthly 0.5 2020-05-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eb8a7730f826758a3d380b8/1589159864968/main.jpg Home - Architecture - A truly memorable design experience What is it that we want from a building? We spend years choosing a site and we expect our building to become an integral part of it. We want to enhance it and we want our building to bind us to it as a soul is bound to the body. We want our building to improve every aspect of the environment and in so doing, improve ourselves and give us meaning. We want our building to outlast us, stand as testament to our aspirations, inspire those who follow us, grant them permission to go forward and teach their children to be better. Through it, we become one with the earth, and at one with those who follow. Like the sapling that we plant, we do it for our children and their children, who will play on its boughs and sit in its shade. At ARCHImedia we take our role in this process very seriously. We invest our time wisely to give you a building that will surely endure and enhance. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eb8c07206715c555844c351/1589166228750/14silver4.jpg Home - Architecture - Design The core business of architecture is design. Every specialisation that we have honed comes from learning and experience. This can be distilled down to two primary elements, Freedom of imagination. and grounded practicality. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5ebddb551d53fc5a4b954847/1589500763625/Screen+Shot+2020-05-10+at+1.11.38+pm.png Home - Architecture Thought Provoking These two aspects are the yin and yang of the process of creating buildings that are truely stimulating, thought provoking, innovative, sustainable and workable. It is these specialisations that inform the process of design. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eb8c16bef4eb24f7a46edee/1589166522599/ Home - Architecture - What we do We produce designs for buildings where the end user is seeking a built environment and a space that reflects the higher aspirations of human consciousness. Whether it is for a family or a business our standard remains the same. Our work is bespoke. Our designs are all ‘one-off’. Designs evolve from the brief and the land. There are no pre-conceived ideas that are brought to the table. Not ours. Not yours. Our tools of trade are simple: Form, Light, Space and Surface. We integrate systems that offer a low emissions and lower running costs. Our buildings are designed for a low carbon footprint. Our clients are discerning people who are seeking a space that reflects their ideals. They are spread across the globe. They do not advertise their success. They are purveyors of quality and they choose a private way of finding satisfaction. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5ebddaf20a67ce269cbb0f98/1589500669580/14silver2.png Home - Architecture - What we don’t do We do not pile rooms on top of each other to achieve multiples of small apartments cramped onto suburban blocks. We do not design replica buildings with building styles from a past period. We do not pull last week’s drawings out of the files and alter them to suite your block. We are not ‘off the hanger’ architects. https://www.archimedia.com.au/home/consult monthly 0.5 2020-05-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5ea8b9b536f9470c71aae480/1589011423269/neonbrand-LrL45dXXvJ8-unsplash.jpg Home - Consultancy - Drone Inspections Getting up high has always been a challenge. In the past we have used specialist equipment to get access to some of the highest buildings in Melbourne. Archimedia has conducted many dozens of rooftops in the CBD, involving high access equipment and specialist harness systems. While we still need to conduct some specialist inspections up close, most inspections can be done using our drone technology. We use high quality DJI drones with 3K image technology. We can take both video and still images as the need requires. Drones allow detailed observations of rooftops, radio antennas, 3G and 4G mobile phone towers.. Drone technology gives us an added tool to provide expert advice backed up with high quality imagery that can be used to assist with repairs and dispute resolution. These inspections come at a significant cost saving over using traditional roof access machinery. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/t/5eb0b234a32e343230c5804c/1589011406317/clem-onojeghuo-zZza888FSKg-unsplash.jpg Home - Consultancy - Forensic Architecture In 1980, ARCHImedia was the first. specialist architects practice to offer a building inspection service in Australia. Since then, ARCHImedia’s forensic architecture unit has been specialising in the provision of specialist building services in the area of construction defects. We explore building issues, analyse building failures and prepare reports. Our work assists clients in making clear decisions and builders in the appropriate use of materials in their projects. Our clients come from various backgrounds, including large international corporations and developers to individual home-owners. As part of our work we examine building materials to determine their age with a view to placing them into the context of time, and therefore the building regulations that applied at the time of construction. Often our reports are required to be prepared for use as part of a court process. these are required to be prepared to a standard acceptable by the court and are prepared for the purposes of assisting the court to understand and deliberate on the matters that will lead the court to a fair determination. https://www.archimedia.com.au/portfolio daily 0.75 2020-06-17 https://www.archimedia.com.au/portfolio/upsidedown monthly 0.5 2020-06-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea7d0d05207b0492f8f9a17/5eb76b250e4d61663aeefe35/5eb76c10ea86c1350728d9f5/1589079099598/upsidedown2.png Portfolio -
