Monarch · Strathmore · Under construction
Monarch takes its name from the monolithic character of its street elevation, where light off-white brick allows the facade to read as a single, solid mass. Hit-and-miss brickwork and an upper louvred screen add depth, filtered light and northern sun control.

Price Residences · Essendon · Under construction
The kitchen is built around a stone island set against dark timber joinery, sheer curtains softening a full wall of glass. The same timber carries into the main bedroom, so the house reads as one material story from its centre out.

Kelvin Residence · Thornbury · Under construction
A white gable holds the street line, and a darker volume steps back behind it, leaving the garden to carry the corner. The palette is kept to two moves so the light between them does the rest.

Verde Residence · Strathmore · Under construction
Green marble runs the island bench, and the dining table sits between kitchen and fireplace so the slow hours hold the centre of the plan. The same stone returns in the bath, one material carried through the house from its most social room to its most private.

McPherson Residences · Essendon · Under construction
Conceived as a dual occupancy that resists the familiar reading of a townhouse pair: the two residences share mirrored plans, yet each is detailed as an individual house with its own street identity. After dark, openings between the aluminium battens reveal a translucent garage door, giving the corner a lantern-like glow.

Electra Residence · Williamstown · Under construction
The triple-fronted facade takes its rhythm from the neighbouring dwellings: bagged brickwork grounds the gables, and painted weatherboards lift the first floor to a lighter expression. Integrated shutters temper the western sun beneath the protected elm, and inside, travertine, pale oak and sheer linen carry the same calm through the plan.

Lumen · Northcote · Completed 2025
As featured on Dream Homes Revealed on 9Life. From the street, a 16 metre wall of white brick laid hit-and-miss keeps the approach private without enclosing it, and the same coursing filters daylight into the rooms behind.

Clarke Residence · Northcote · In documentation
A curved parapet lifts the timber battens above the garden wall, softening the house's edge against the sky. Behind the street front, the best of the plan is given to a garden court and pool, and planting is designed to spill where the architecture holds its line.

The main bedroom at the Bournian Residence was designed to offer complete retreat.

Positioned within the plan to maximise quiet, the room is soft in proportion and minimal in detail, where the architecture steps back entirely to let calm take over.

Floor-to-ceiling draping filters the light without blocking it, and the sense of enclosure is deliberate.

A room that holds Joel's mother in exactly the way the rest of the home was designed to.

Secure, unhurried, and entirely her own.
