Taringa Parade

Our Taringa Parade project was for a renovation on 1970s home that was originally designed by architect Peter Young (of Walsh and Young) for his own family. The house has had a number of extensions added over the years, so our proposed design involved bringing back some visual cohesion to the exterior of the house […]

Bacton

Our Bacton project is essentially a new Outdoor Room and Kitchen for an existing brick veneer home, and is a good example of how a well-designed outdoor space can completely change the way a home operates. The new Kitchen creates a link between the old and new, allowing the occupants to flow freely from the […]

Mayfield

Mayfield house is situated in the middle of a relatively large block of land with 3 street frontages in a character area. The siting of the house means that there is a large disconnect between the front yard and the rear, and as we often find with pre-1946 house, there is no connection between the […]

This helps us to facilitate discussions with our clients so we can get further drill down into the brief, and also enables us to […]

Wilston Grange AFC

Wilston Grange Gorillas Café is one of our recent fit-out projects on the drawing board. The local footy club sought to transform unused space into a café for the players, parents, and public to take advantage of. The café site sits next to a major entry to the club grounds and is housed next to […]

Wendell

The brief for our Wendell project was to provide additional space for an expanding family including the addition of a teenager’s retreat. Functional and sophisticated purpose-built joinery is a feature and the use of a circular staircase saves space and provides a link from the existing home to its new extension.
