Yarra Street House is a pavilion-style extension designed to fit perfectly with a family who loves cooking, outdoor living and entertaining in style.

A contemporary extension of this Elsternwick House is clad in contrasting dark zinc to draw a very deliberate line between new and old.

This passive solar home was designed to maximise available light and space on an oddly shaped block in the inner suburban Melbourne.

When a family of four decide to renovate their terrace on a tiny site, some big ideas need to be packed into a little space.

An elegant timber extension at the rear of this heritage home is bathed in natural light thanks to its northern orientation.

Two Halves House steps down the landscape, separated into a sociable living space and a private sleeping zone.

Extending heritage homes respectfully is a challenge. Allowing this addition to recede into the shadows was the sensitive approach.
