Chan Architecture on Lunchbox Architect

Don't be deceived by the curved exterior. Abbotsford Residence is rational -- inside and out -- to deal with a heavily constrained site.

Renovating and extending a typical Victorian terrace always poses a unique set of challenges. Hawthorn House exceeds those challenges.

Heritage controls, difficult soil, tight access and a small west-facing block. A delightful, light-filled home on a difficult site…

This Artist's Studio is a beautifully detailed, creative space for painting and sculpting to encourage and inspire creativity…

A series of separate, disconnected rooms are transformed by a central, open planned living space that maximises north light.

Renovating an older, inner-city home comes with a peculiar set of challenges - how to make it seem bright and spacious when it's not.

It's not often you get to build a new house in the inner city. What would you do if you had a clean slate?

The lace-like screen protecting the rear of this home is a way to tie old and new together while also dealing with practicalities.

An addition to this period home sits comfortably alongside the original, oriented to catch the light and open up the backyard.

With stunning bush and ocean views, this home is perched to soak it all in and create a space for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Just because your home is on a tight, inner-city site doesn't mean it can't feel spacious. You just need to use the right tricks!
