PROJECTS

A narrow city site is a complex but rewarding testing ground for two architect owners, who have paired a craggy sandstone terrace with a slender companion building in the design of their own mixed-use, multigenerational home.

The rituals of beach life are celebrated in this re-worked Phillip Island holiday home, where new additions have been designed with the same accessible approach to sustainability favoured by the original architect.

Function is key for this family of four, and their reimagined Queenslander is at once sophisticated and relaxed.

This soothing beachside sanctuary on the Mornington Peninsula by interior designer Fiona Lynch is rich in sea-bleached pastels, earthy materials and comfortable spots to gather in style.

In Sydney’s Manly, a formerly “fat” brick box has been transformed into a light and bright home that effortlessly flows up a sloped site from front to back.

This considered renovation’s adaptable design supports long-term connection to community and enables its owner to sustain her independent lifestyle into retirement.

Regenerating a site rich in history, this vibrant new home, contained within the walls of an old stable, is part of an ongoing multigenerational project that explores alternative models for living together.

Voluminous yet resourceful, this lightweight addition to a Queenslander is a pragmatic solution that filters sunlight and buffers noise while also serving as a delightfully adaptable outdoor room.

A rare opportunity to unite a pair of semi-detached houses in Sydney’s Paddington results in a deceptively generous family home that responds to the spatial geometry of the site.

In Brisbane’s Paddington, an old timber cottage is thoughtfully and skilfully recast as a courtyard house that responds to site, climate and the desire for familial connection.

A delicate balance of addition and subtraction liberates a small and dark bungalow in Sydney, creating a composed home that is less house, more garden.

A Georgian landmark in Hobart’s Battery Point is graced with a surprisingly porous living pavilion that interacts generously with street and garden.

Small urban living is reimagined in this resourceful alteration, resulting in an inventive, future-proof courtyard house tucked behind a terrace facade in Sydney’s Redfern.

In this addition to an Edwardian home in south-east Melbourne, clever planning and a judicious approach to challenging the brief have resulted in a finely crafted, materially rich family home.

In the garden suburb of Elwood, Melbourne, a delicate balance of addition and subtraction gives rise to an elegant home that is intrinsically linked to its site, family and city.

The careful reconfiguring of a modest 1900s worker’s cottage in Hobart enables a young family to remain in the community they love without compromising on character, amenity or garden space.
