PROJECTS

A playfully edited 1980s house on the Mornington Peninsula is a refined seaside hideaway, inciting occupants to commune with nature and each other.

A redesign celebrates the history of this heritage-listed apartment with exposed brick and three-quarter-height walls – and modernizes with a clean, crisp palette.

A Melbourne architect’s own home reflects his love of modern Italian design – and his conviction that “you have to be comfortable in the space.”

Grecian forms and classic colours were used to invoke the inhabitants’ family ties in this clever, playful extension to a 1930s Californian bungalow in Brisbane.

A well-loved family home in Melbourne is retuned for the next generation by employing simple, local materials, strong connections to the outdoors – and some retro tiling.

This revamp of a worker’s cottage in Melbourne’s inner-north embraces colour and texture in a contemporary take on elaborate Italianate ornamentation.

A compact apartment in inner-city Sydney is transformed into a bijou home distinguished by rich colour and decadent materiality: 1906 by Amber Road.

Distinctive for the “cat’s ears” roof profile, this addition to a double-fronted cottage in Adelaide is the result of a three-year labour of love for its architects.

A reductive aesthetic and plentiful natural light interlace in Benn and Penna’s elemental extension to a cottage in the Sydney suburb of Leichhardt.

In this Sydney home’s functional spaces, slick, streamlined and tactile design is the order of the day.
