The form was inspired by the sloping site and how we could create a bold point of difference on a site that sat far beneath the street level. We aimed to perch the building within the landscape, like a rock juxtaposed in nature and creating a monolithic street presence.

This country house was designed for a family with two kids and many friends. It is in a gated community, and though surrounded by neighbors, it enjoys some isolation from them, so the project can better explore the interaction between the interior and exterior spaces. Relevant aspects of the proposition are to be able to contemplate the dawn, the s...

Casually taking up position along a classic adelaidian streetscape, number 78 cheekily shies away from the limelight, taking up position ‘out back’! A contemporary but classic addition to a very much-loved symmetrical cottage is where this story starts.

Situated on the busy foreshore strip between Brighton and Hove, number 106a is very much in the public eye. A private residence on display to the ‘hub-dub’ of daily beachside life. Presenting itself to the street and coast, it opens its doors and does not shy away.

Play hard, then rest hard. That's the motto of this family whose home provides thoughtful places of activity and quiet. But it wasn't always this way for this little "house in the hollow" in Laguna Beach. Nestled down into a small, unusually shaped site, it was dark, choppy, and lacking the kinds of space a young power-couple needs to raise their p...
