Tribe Studio
Tribe Studio Architects is a Sydney practice in Surry Hills that describes itself as seriously playful about architectural design. It takes seriously the responsibility inherent in every project, whatever its size, and designs work that contributes generously to both individual and collective needs, across residential, heritage, education, hospitality, public and commercial projects.
An intentionally small practice with an experimental mindset, Tribe Studio has placed passive design at the heart of its work for more than two decades and now focuses its inventiveness on reducing embodied carbon in construction, aiming to shift business-as-usual thinking across the industry.
On Lunchbox, House Eadie updates a historic Surry Hills cottage without erasing its past, House Chapple captures both harbour views and north light in Mosman, House Bruce Alexander includes a pulley system to lift the owner's bicycle through an atrium, and House Shmukler suspends private boxes within a large shed-like space. Other featured projects include House Boone Murray, House McBeath and House Au Yeung.
See House Eadie, House Shmukler and more of their work on Lunchbox below.
