Griffiths St 1

A new main residence featuring four bedrooms and a study, accompanied by a two-bedroom secondary dwelling. The design responds to its prominent corner site with solid stone walls and curved facades, softened by green roofs, integrated planter boxes, and thoughtfully layered landscaping throughout. A landscaped roof over the secondary dwelling is accessed via a walkway from the first floor of the main house, extending usable outdoor space and offering a secluded setting for recreation and relaxation.

Complete - awaiting professional photography.

An ambitious country homestead, grounded in sustainability, sculpted for life on the land.

Designed for a farming family in rural NSW, in the middle of a drought. The design drew inspiration from international arid vernaculars, in order to be able to cope when the cycle revisits this homestead, and takes components of the functionality from these house typologies. For instance the Mexican courtyard houses, a series of different functions around a central outdoor space, exuding privacy and family gathering. Inviting a cosy atmosphere to the centre of the home, reimagined as a series of spaces divided into their respective functions. The existing historic house becomes the sleeping quarters, a place to rest and recuperate. Composed of darker smaller spaces with more intricate detailing. These are juxtaposed with the new volumes by modern glass connections. Clearly delineated for an honest design celebrating both eras of construction. The existing house is restored and the new building components are sensitively but clearly added. Passing over the pool into the new daytime quarters which houses the living, dining, kitchen, and play areas. The family have children aged four to fifteen so we wanted to imbue a sense of fun, discovery and adventure in the design. Celebrating the far-reaching rural landscape views from key points in the building, not least the picture-frame dormer windows from the mezzanine level over the kitchen, and the glass gable ends. The solid verandas embed the new structure into the landscape, and new patios are excavated like sculptural 'negative spaces' to create lower protected enclaves for various functions, without blocking views from the main entertaining areas. Creating a sense of journey through the landscape. The large natural swimming pool helps cool the air around this central space. The guest house and garage flank the other sides of the inner courtyard, and the final elements enclosing this central area are the kitchen garden and orchard. Spinning on its axis around this central space, the house feels like a functional revolution of spaces which work in harmony to create a living environment befitting of this family. The rolled roof of the living quarters echos a barn typology whereas the more subdued additions of the garage and guesthouse take on flat green roof elements that allow these structures to take a back seat and blend into the landscape, allowing the main structures of the existing house and extension building to take centre stage, keeping a sense of balance to the design rather than overloading the site with too many strong visual elements. The guesthouse floats above the landscape on posts and is comprised of a fully CLT primary structure (slab, walls and roof), celebrated with its exposure to the interior. The materiality celebrates an honesty of structure and natural materials along with hand crafted textures for the rendered wall finishes and steel troweled concrete. A large structure with a human scale. Intended as a sanctuary after a long day of physical labour in the harsh environment.Completed - awaiting professional photography.

Merriwa Farmhouse Masterplan

A sanctuary sculpted from stone, light, and landscape.

This luxury duplex in Balgowlah balances bold architectural form with finely crafted detail and immersive landscape design. Clad in rich Abodo timber with operable battened screens, the façade creates a rhythmic interplay of privacy and openness, warmth and solidity. Inside, stone and terrazzo floors meet expressive marble surfaces, offset by refined timber detailing and skylights that bring softness and light to the interiors. From the street, the duplex is designed to have the appearance of one grand single dwelling, landscaped with a central water feature.Light is shaped and sculpted throughout the dwelling. Filtered through timber screens, bouncing across textured surfaces, and flowing through skylights and the central stair void. Brass tapware, internal landscape planters, and verdant planted façades coupled with glazing fosters a constant connection to greenery and the natural world. Spatial planning uniquely responds directly to the stepped site, rejecting conventional solutions which use a single vertical stairwell. Instead the design strategically splits levels to create intimacy, ease of movement, and moments of discovery. A media room and cellar are tucked into the lower ground, with even these spaces enjoying views to the central fern-filled lightwell. The stair becomes a moment of immersion, enclosed by a perforated glass façade alongside a lush courtyard garden. This layered vertical transition is animated by shifting light and changing weather, blurring boundaries between inside and out. Landscaped gardens thread throughout the site, culminating in a forest-style planting zone that screens neighbours and nestles the home in its own private sanctuary. From the open living areas, views extend to this green horizon and the views over rooftops beyond, grounding the home in nature. A plunge pool nestles into the garden, with a water feature at veranda level that connects the two bodies of water geometrically - completing a home that feels composed, and quietly luxurious. An elegant retreat embedded in the seasonal rhythms of the surrounding landscape.

Balgowlah Duplex

A modern rear extension to a dwelling with a historic street frontage. 

A home for an art-lover. A number of designs were tested for this project. This one features a curved rear extension to be sympathetic to neighbouring dwellings while focussing on the view to the Harbour Bridge from the balcony, and creates a courtyard garden at ground level, with a light-filled interior.

Balmain House

Excavation to form new rooms beneath a heritage property, featuring a proposed modernised interior design throughout the property.

Cammeray House

Unprecedented achievements for this space-restricted terraced house in Darlinghurst.

We achieved an unprecedented first floor extension for this tiny terrace in a Heritage Conservation Area in Darlinghurst, opening up space rearrangement possibilities for the client. A number of new skylights bring natural light into the centre of the house and a green roof outside the first floor rear bedroom gives a natural outlook to this interior space and for surrounding houses. The courtyard garden at ground level was reconfigured to include large glazed bi-folding doors and an integrated bbq for outdoor entertaining. The interior includes a new bathroom upstairs, laundry cupboards, a centralised kitchen space and a new living room with a fireplace and skylight through the green roof; along with new interior design throughout and landscaping.

Darlinghurst Terrace

 A thoughtful design that enriches small spaces and optimises every square metre.

Busy lives need quiet sanctuaries filled with love, light and space to breathe. In the heart of Darlinghurst’s Heritage Conservation Area, this spatially constrained terrace was reimagined as a serene inner-city retreat. A beautiful new first-floor roof garden with privacy, vertical green walls internally, and a carefully considered internal reconfiguration introduced light, calm, and a feeling of openness rarely found in a terrace of this scale. The result is a home that supports busy lives with new opportunities for rest and relaxation, enhanced functionality, and significantly increased access to natural light (both direct and filtered) while deepening the connection to the natural world.DA Approved in record time.
