Baldasso Cortese Case Study | East Melbourne ResidenceBaldassoCortese
Away from public view, this project is an exercise in modernism that embodies the hidden character experienced within Melbourne’s inner city.
Drawing from Eastern philosophies of being at one with nature, we aimed to create a secluded home with a strong connection to its garden.
Service areas such as garage, laundry, water tanks and storage are buried below ground to make land available for private open space. Behind boundary walls, the living zones of the new extension are defined by a black frame with sliding glass panels blurring the boundary between the
garden and the living space within. Further containment of the site was created by wrapping the garden with a high fence and screen trees to create a secure and private open setting. The interiors have a restrained palette of natural materials to enhance the connection with nature.
The defining mass of the building sits as an elevated screened container, positioned to conceal the view of adjacent buildings beyond and protect the urban sanctuary within.

1. Quadriga Project Profiles
By Lindsay Law
In recent years we have experienced an awakening in a need for the conservation
of our heritage. A specialist approach is needed which combines a thorough
understanding of traditional building crafts and the latest advances in technology.
Quadrigas’ work illustrates how traditional, as well as contemporary repair solutions,
can be used in conservation, restoration and preservation.

old and new architectural styles together. All 1800 original bricks
of this façade where re-used.
7. The Pier Head Building, Cardiff
The Pier Head Building is a very grand example of Victorian architecture.
The terracotta with ferrous dowels resulted in corrosion/expansion along
with cracking/spalling of the detail to this 1802 building.
Resin bonding and pinning proved to be a very useful repair technique for
this historic building project.
8. Resin Bonding & Pinning
Gargoyles where painstakingly put back together like a jigsaw using steel pins and resin
bonding. The final piece was resin bonded together and then fixed to the steel armature
Projecting from the façade.
A fully restored gargoyle drainage outlet
and duck head ornate relief fully restored
9. Relief Panel Restored
Corroding steelwork behind this relief panel to the Pier Head Building had caused
structural fracturing of the terracotta which had to be removed, steel blasted
and a bitumen based protective coat applied.
This was followed by the installation of new terracotta.
10. Terracotta Restoration
New Bond Street
Working from old photographs and what detail remained of the original façade,
we were able to recreate what had been at No27 previously using our in house
terracotta designer.
11. Terracotta Restoration
New Bond Street, C1930
We produced full detail design shop drawings for the manufacture and installation
of the new frontage
12. 27 New Bond Street, London

to take accurate presses of the relief work
13. 27 New Bond Street, London

what is a beacon of historic ceramic architecture back on this most prestigious of London streets.
It is a testament to the skills and craftsmanship still available today.
