Phoenix House was a deeply personal project which became a labour of love. I had purchased a small Queenslander from the early 1900s in Corinda, Brisbane. I had different plans for it, but my life took an interesting turn and it was suddenly to become the new home for myself and my two children.

Carlyle lane house sits on a small 500 m² block in the middle of Byron Bay. The clients, originally from Brazil, had a long-standing penchant for Mid-century architecture. The design process began with initial qualitative discussions with the clients about their love for views and gazing up at the ever changing sky.
