Mosman House
Partridge provided structural engineering for the Moruben Road residences in Mosman, designed with Peter Tout Architect and Turner Hughes Architects and built by David Campbell Building. The steep hillside site required excavation of more than 3,000 tonnes of soil and rock, including a 10-metre-deep lift shaft and tunnel. Partridge adopted temporary batters and vertical rock […]
South West House
Partridge, as structural engineers working with architect Killing Matt Woods and builder Green Anvil Co, transformed South West House, a heritage residence in Tempe. Our structural design enabled a new lightweight second story and improved spatial flow. To support the new level without extensive strengthening, we used laminated veneer lumber for the timber construction. This […]
Double Bay House
Partridge provided structural engineering for this four-level coastal residence by Stanic Harding Architects on a tightly constrained corner site. Loose sands required deep piles, and a high water table necessitated a secant pile wall for the basement and pool excavation. The basement was designed to resist buoyancy, with detailed analysis ensuring stability throughout construction. The […]
Coogee House
This renovation in Coogee involved complex structural challenges on a constrained site. Working closely with Meacham Nockles and One Up Building Partridge provided engineering for major alterations including a Juliet balcony, pool, bridge, new garage, and landscaped rooftop. Key engineering works included retaining the existing floor structure while integrating additional beams and strengthening to support […]
Palm Beach House
Partridge collaborated with Tregale + Associates and Michael Smith Constructions on this residence at the tidal edge of Pittwater. The project required careful engineering to manage a challenging site and complex structural demands. Excavation was stabilised with a secant pile wall, followed by a blinding slab and continuous waterproofing “bathtub” for the basement. Dewatering was […]
Amongst The Eucalypts
Partridge provided the structural engineering for a striking residence by Jason Gibney Design Workshop, tackling the familiar challenge of creating a structural system that supported the architectural vision while responding to a demanding site. We navigated steep terrain and bushfire flame risk with bored concrete piers and suspended concrete slabs for foundations. Steel framing supported […]
Callan Park Amenities
Partridge provided structural engineering for the Callan Park Waterfront Green Amenities, supporting Stanic Harding Architects and Tyrrell Studio. This project aimed to create inviting public space within the historically and culturally significant Callan Park. Working within strict planning and heritage controls, our team designed a free-standing steel-framed roof with tapered cantilevers, ensuring it complemented the […]
Skater
Installed on the St Kilda foreshore, “Skater” is a six-metre bronze sculpture by Melbourne artists Dean Colls and Louise Skacej. The work stands in front of a luxury multi-residential development which was completed in 2022. Fabricated in sections at Meridian Sculpture in Fitzroy and assembled off-site, Partridge provided structural engineering services for the project, addressing […]
Bellevue Hill House
Mathieson Architects worked closely with Partridge for the transformation of a Bellevue Hill duplex into a single residence. The project reconfigured the existing structure to enhance views of Rose Bay and the city skyline. Our work involved major structural modifications, including new blade walls and steel screening integrated with the retained façade. Internally, we redesigned […]
Cammeray House
Partridge worked closely with MHDP Architects and Total Co-ordination Building on the structural design of Cammeray House, a detailed renovation and extension of an existing residence. The original building had suffered extensive termite damage and water ingress, which significantly weakened its timber framing. Major structural repairs and strengthening were required as part of the upgrade. […]
Mosman House
This three-level Mosman residence is situated above Chinaman’s Beach with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, and presented unique engineering challenges. A primary focus was preserving a mature Angophora tree, which guided our design of key structural elements. We used suspended slabs for the ground floor, garage, and driveway to navigate the steep site and minimise […]
Babylon
Partridge collaborated with Casey Brown Architecture on ‘Babylon,’ a remarkable residence west of Avalon Beach. Originally built in 1953, this four-level dwelling—known locally as ‘The Castle’—features stone and glass construction with living spaces arranged beneath a 320-square-metre kidney-shaped roof. Our involvement encompassed structural assessments, roof drainage, foundation stability, and sandstone wall integrity. We also engineered […]
