Elsternwick Residences designed by ADDARC take advantage of the tree-lined street, substantial allotment size, wide frontage and orientation to create two family focused dwellings with a singular façade expression. This uniformity and consistency in language across both residences blurs the boundary between townhouse and dwelling yet has sufficient fine-grained detail and layering to provide a clear sense of address.

This project designed by Brooke Aitken is a major renovation of an older apartment with incredible views of iconic Sydney Harbour, particularly The Sydney Opera House and The Sydney Harbour Bridge. The design work was significant. Walls were knocked out to combine the kitchen with the dining and living rooms. Doors and windows were modified to maximise views from every angle, opening the most lived-in spaces up to the beautiful and ever-changing view. Photography by Prue Ruscoe.

The O&A London team took great care in designing this spacious two-bedroom apartment for a family of three in St. Petersburg, Russia. The space was quite unusual: located on the top floor of a historical building featuring slanted ceilings and attic windows. The client, a family of three, had previously worked with our studio. The pre-existing knowledge and understanding of their requirements and priorities meant, that the work on the apartment could commence early on and be completed relatively swiftly. The client had contacted Oleg and Anna at the time of purchase of the apartment, fully trusting the designers’ opinions and experience. Photography by Eugene Kulibaba.
Layà Villas designed by Comma Projects is a collection of residences that elegantly stand along Morotai Street, named in homage to the Indonesian island’s historical significance in the Liberation of the Philippines during WWII.

Located in the picturesque Yarra Valley, the design aimed to capture breath taking vistas, harmonise with the surrounding wineries, and achieve a cohesive aesthetic. The central challenge was to balance the preservation of the traditional homestead feel with the integration of contemporary design elements. Photography by Impress Photography.
Native Dog Cabin is a project designed by Chindarsi Architects. The site sits on a spur of land jutting out into the Southern Ocean between Bremer Bay and Dillon Bay. Enjoying ocean views to the east, south and west, it is surrounded by beaches and wild places. The peninsula was subdivided into large acreage lots in the early 1990’s and sold for residential development with restrictions on land clearing only to within small building envelopes to preserve the coastal landscape. Undeveloped, the site was purchased by the current owners some thirty years later. Photography by Photographica.
