Metricup House

in our office has been hard at work testing out his 3D printer on the Metricup House.

Stoked with the result - there’s nothing quite like seeing the full building take shape as a physical model.

A very cool addition to the design process!

Sabella Estate.

A home shaped around its landscape — framing the vineyard, distant water and changing conditions of the South West from almost every part of the house.

From sheltered courtyards and planted terraces through to expansive living spaces, the architecture is designed to feel embedded in the estate rather than simply placed within it.

Currently in design development in Metricup, WA.

Almost three years ago, we made the decision to sell Koto House.

We designed it for ourselves, built it, lived in it, and watched our daughter spend some of her earliest years there.

Looking back at this footage now is a strange one. I was a little fresher, our daughter was a lot smaller, and there are certainly things about the house I’d design differently today.

It had its quirks and its issues, but it was ours. It taught me a lot about architecture, particularly the difference between designing a house and actually living in one.

Three years on, we still miss it.

Foundry House, Cowaramup.

An early concept that never made it beyond the design stage, but one we still enjoy looking back on.

A collection of simple pitched forms arranged around a protected central courtyard, using the house itself to create shelter, privacy and a series of connected outdoor spaces.

Not every project gets built. Still plenty worth keeping from the ones that don’t.

Dandalup House.

One from the concept archive.
Developed with EcoKit around a simple rural form, a high-performance envelope and a generous southern outlook for outdoor living.

Our involvement concluded at concept design, but still very fond of where we landed with this one.

Edge House is officially in for DA.

An absolute favourite of ours, and one we’re really excited to see moving forward.

A deceptively simple home shaped around strong forms, sheltered outdoor spaces and a close relationship between inside and out.

Now we wait for the green light.

Stewart Street is officially on site.

A compact home shaped around simple planning, natural light and a restrained material palette, developed in collaboration with Two Hammers Construction Pty Ltd

After plenty of time on the screen, it’s good to see this one starting to become a building.

Elva House

A little outside the architectural language we’re usually drawn to!

But that’s part of the job. Designing for the people who will actually live there, rather than defaulting to what we already know.

Exceptionally happy with where this one landed.

Not every design is a winner.

It’s been a fairly hectic month at Cynosure. We’ve had a new baby arrive, very little sleep, plenty of work on, and apparently a couple of our first proper design misses.

Recent client feedback has included “it looks a bit like a project home” and, my personal favourite, “it looks like Pizza Hut”.

Both completely fair calls.

Architecture is an iterative process. Sometimes the first idea works, sometimes it very clearly doesn’t.

Back to the drawing board.
