Featured Projects

project-1
The existing façade was retained to honour the home’s original period character, while a two-storey extension was designed to meet the family’s evolving needs, including accommodation for parents and visiting friends. The design also prioritises outdoor living, creating a shared space centred around an inground swimming pool for relaxation and enjoyment.

project-2
Situated on a narrow 6.7m × 40.1m site with rear ROW access, this project maximises building potential while responding to the client’s needs. We delivered a single-storey, three-bedroom home with open-plan living, a double garage, and a loft with additional amenities. The early 1900s façade was faithfully replicated, and upon entering, the home reveals modern design features seamlessly integrated with its period-inspired exterior.
Coburg
Residential
project-3
This investment site is located near Hidden Harbour Marina and just 900m from the Safety Beach foreshore. The client initially requested two dwellings for rental income; we recommended three four-bedroom dwellings to maximise both rental yield and long-term investment potential. The design features contemporary, two-storey homes with warm, light external colours inspired by the coastal location, blending Hampton-style charm with modern internal features. The proposal was approved by the Council Planning Department, meeting all council requirements and guidelines.
Safety Beach
Residential
project-4
This 478m² corner site with rear ROW presented a design challenge due to its prominent position. The client requested side-by-side development, two-storey dwellings with double garages and offices above, complete with amenities. To address the corner location, we designed the primary dwelling with curved walls to soften its visual impact, while incorporating a modern, sleek aesthetic. Carefully selected materials and finishes respect the surrounding neighbourhood character, satisfying both council requirements and the client’s vision.
