Architecture is the construction of ideas; represented as sequences of space illuminate by natural light.

Our strategy was to bring the joy of light and the outside into this heart of this building. To play with outdoor rooms and spaces that [...]

The Blues Point Hotel required an outdoor terrace that was enjoyable to be in but respected the residential neighbours by keeping the noise down and maintaining privacy. The deck unifies the internal spaces of the pub by infilling the original L shaped plan and meeting the interior spaces at floor level. By opening up the [...]
Oceans attached
In the office these houses are known as the Fraternal (non-identical) Twins. The opportunity to redevelop a pair of semi-detached houses for two different clients is common, but for the projects to eventually be realised is rare. Rather than using the traditional approach of mirroring the residences around the party wall, the response was to [...]
