Argall

Angler Parade

Nestled in Ascot Vale, this structure seamlessly blends architecture with nature. It’s more than just a house—it’s a haven, offering residents refuge from modern life’s hustle and bustle. Step inside to discover serene interiors, carefully curated to embrace tranquil surroundings. With picturesque views and luxurious details, this home is a sanctuary where modern design meets natural beauty, creating an unforgettable living experience.
The building maximizes site boundaries with a cascading floor plan following natural contours. Cross contours partially conceal the basement, revealing stacked blockwork along the street. Stepped footings support suspended concrete slabs with post-tension tech. The first floor offers open-plan living with full-height glazing leading to outdoor amenities. The second floor features a hybrid steel frame tied to off-form concrete walls and timber structure. Falls in level mimic site flow, and an open void connects spaces. Privacy is ensured with wing-wall protrusions and timber louvres. Timber finishes and suspended planter boxes integrate the structure with the surroundings.

The challenging site contours, including a diagonal cross-fall in ground levels, posed unique obstacles during construction. We worked closely with the Architect and Contractor to develop comprehensive solutions for varied level arrangements and boundary limitations. With a partial basement and suspended ground floor slab, we chose efficient construction methods to optimize material usage. Implementing a temporary piled wall, we maintained a consistent ground-up approach, supporting suspended slabs with post-tensioned, reinforced, and composite steel tray concrete. This approach maximized space and streamlined construction sequencing for the final structure.

ANDREW GALL, Director

Argall was founded in 2017 by Andrew Gall, an engineer with a passion for complex design and breaking the mould. His work experience as a senior structural engineer across a variety of project disciplines made him realise there was a real need for a bespoke people and service-oriented structural engineering consultancy that would inspire sustainability practices and innovation often lacking in big companies.

This is over and above his experience in traditional procurement roles, his work with builders in the design and construct field, managing projects in sport, tertiary education, the arts and zoological fields, as well as community, commercial, residential and multi- residential enterprises. With such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of different design methodologies, he has the expertise to challenge the status quo in his new venture.
