Mission

SALBASHIAN ARCHITECTS, based on the North Shore of Sydney, is a boutique design studio that has come out of the 2019 global pandemic, a time where many may have lost their connections to others due to lockdowns and travel bans. This pandemic has highlighted the pre-existing human condition of the need for emotional connection between people and place and the desire of having a sense of belonging and intimacy. Many may also have lost the connection to themselves due to sharing the same space with one another most of the day, with less privacy and time to nurture their own selves.

A new type of housing is emerging

Now that we have gone through the pandemic together, issues such as the desire for human connection, more privacy, flexible working, better health, wellness, rest, sustainability, convenience and purpose will become even more important than ever. I believe this is changing the housing industry and will result in a new type of housing to emerge.

SALBASHIAN ARCHITECTS is on a mission to bridge the gap of human isolation to connectedness through architectural design.

The global pandemic has created a permanent mark on the way we live our lives and inhabit our homes. At SALBASHIAN ARCHITECTS, we continue to study how the socio-economic context affects human behaviour and alters the requirements for housing.

Design Values

• Creating a functional and beautiful home that can reflect your individuality, a home which would become an extension of yourself during big transitions in your life, such as downsizing from your current home, buying your first home, or adding more kids and pets to your family.

• Providing a contemporary, fresh and on-trend living experience so that you can enjoy with members of the house or entertain family and friends who visit.

• Creating spaces which incorporate your daily activities and family rituals to match your current lifestyle and future goals, and to reflect on changes occurring in society such as post-pandemic living requirements.

• Designing for light, air and thermal comfort

• Maximising storage solutions

• Incorporating the surrounding context, such as trees, fauna, local street materials, textures, neighbourhood history for a cohesive design concept.

• Increasing the value of your home to borrow against or sell in the future

• Creating a legacy home to be passed down to the next generation and kept in your family for future years to come.
