PROJECTS

This striking renovation of a South Fremantle house boldly expresses the site’s architectural imprints, giving structure to the transformation from the ground up.

Capitalizing on an elevated site with enviable prospect, this cleverly planned addition to a Brisbane home culminates in a surprising and spatially rich treetop eyrie.

Balancing boldness and restraint, this small-scale addition to a family home in the Melbourne suburbs is a confidently composed riff on the cellular order of the original house.

A new addition to a much-loved Brisbane cottage unearths the latent possibilities of a sloping suburban site, interlacing house and garden while preserving the neighbourliness of its laneway locale.

Modest and mindful yet formally expressive, this revitalized Melbourne cottage intertwines house with landscape to create a spatially generous family home in harmony with the environment.

On a long, narrow site on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, the design for a suite of garden rooms plays on scale to complement the proportions of the large, ethereal back garden.

A single-storey worker’s cottage in Brisbane is transformed into three autonomous and adaptable units, making a compelling case for greater density in the suburbs.

An unconventional house on an inner-western Sydney site is paired with a clever yet unassuming new addition, proving that charm can be reclaimed and humility can be an asset.

A spatial tardis, this surprising and generous addition enlivens an original Georgian cottage in a tightly controlled Hobart heritage precinct.

Nimble moves and a shared vision were required to modernize a house with ‘well-proportioned bones’ on Sydney’s lower north shore. The result is a space that is modest in size yet rich in experiences.
