Materials: o Aluminium Screen – A defining feature of the home, the screen is crafted from laser-cut aluminium metal with a custom-designed pattern. This allows for dynamic light play, while also providing privacy and shading, adding both functionality and sculptural beauty to the façade. o Rendered Finishes – The exterior incorporates render and stone cladding, creating a clean, monolithic, and elegant façade that emphasizes the home’s bold yet minimalist aesthetic. o Venetian Plaster – A standout element, Venetian plaster is used at the entryway and on the front door, creating an earthy, cave-like entrance with a concealed door for a seamless look. This textured plaster finish continues throughout the home in transitional spaces and feature walls, adding depth and warmth to the interiors. o Glass & Skylights – Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and skylights maximize natural light, enhancing the home’s open and airy feel while fostering a strong connection between the interior and exterior. Bronze color-backed glass introduces a subtle textural contrast, adding a sense of luxury and refinement while mirroring the shimmering effect of water—tying back to the home's concept. o Natural Stone – Calacatta marble, known for its striking veining and timeless elegance, is used in key areas such as the kitchen, bar, and bathroom vanities, elevating the sense of sophistication and luxury. o Porcelain Tiles – Throughout the home, porcelain tiles mimic the look of natural stone, offering a sustainable and antimicrobial alternative while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. o Timber Elements – Rich natural oak is used in cabinetry and upstairs flooring, introducing warmth and contrast against the otherwise minimalist surfaces. The organic texture of timber softens the overall aesthetic, creating a sense of inviting comfort. o Brushed Metal Accents – Fixtures and finishes in brushed brass and bronze add subtle sophistication, complementing the modern aesthetic and reinforcing the warm, luxurious undertones of the design

Eddie is a terrace renovation, built on a small 140sqm site in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North. Our brief asked for an improved three-bedroom, one bathroom home. As is common with old terraces, they sought more natural light, better airflow, and privacy. They also wished for a garden; a green oasis that would provide peace.

The success of our Kalinga house is the strength of the concept to move the existing house on the site; located on a quirky L shaped site, the repositioning of the existing Queenslander Cottage, reunited the house with its previously remote rear garden while creating separate and distinct outdoor rooms in the landscape around all edges.

Located in the inner north-east of Brisbane, Ascot is a diverse neighbourhood with a strong tradition of Queenslander architecture. The unique brief for this project called for the relocation of the original 1912 Ascotian Queenslander to allow for a tennis court to be tucked into the rear. Later, less considerate additions have been removed.

In Australia, we've almost been conditioned to view apartments as something temporary until you can move out to the suburbs in your detached home on a quarter-acre block, most likely with your 2.3 children and dog. However, Aurburn Road is an apartment development designed by Aych Architects.
