Post renovation, a classic Tudor frontage gives way to spacious living spaces that flow on to outdoor living courtesy of massive 7m steel-beam openings – a luxurious outdoor room and loft suite also result

Three awkwardly configured rooms merge to create one open, light-filled and versatile bathroom – textures reference the bush setting while a floor-to-ceiling window all but puts you amongst the ferns

With a single level deck replaced with layers and hero central tree retained, this garden design now unfolds in moments: covered and uncovered – sun and shade – fire and water; a sanctuary woven into daily life results

Private from the street, this home descends and expands into its built oasis – split level geometries belie the compact floor plan while views are strategically directed – sculptural concrete stairs, planar joinery...

This Balinese courtyard garden focusses on creating a harmonious and peaceful space that blends seamlessly into its tropical surroundings – all part of creating a relaxing outdoor escape in the city

This surprising chandelier in an art-soaked high-rise apartment all but defies description – it certainly fulfils two central roles, catching the eye and catching the light

Corten steel provides a discreet edging in the front and back garden of this classic home – both receding and evolving, the steel oxidises by forming a protective, dense rust patina when exposed to wet and dry cycles

For this renovated living space, C-Lite Windows (AWS Frames) with transom louvres serve several functions – accentuating the generous stud, framing the outlooks in a refined way and admitting cooling breezes on high 

A dramatic headboard also acts as a screening device/privacy wall in this light-filled bedroom – a great way to turn a practical need into a stand-out feature

For this renovation, the existing roof was very low, so a new Dimond roof and structure were introduced – skylights run the length of the higher form, accentuating the architecture and bringing in natural light

Raking rooflines create a striking silhouette on this family-meets-resort style home and add sculptural volume to the interiors – the master suite, looking to a private landscaped courtyard, is a retreat in its own right

Designed for a renowned chef's mid-century home, this kitchen melds with the wider design language while addressing all the needs of a professional, fast working cuisinier – terrazzo & timber enjoy prominence
