Hawthorn Hood is a project designed by BENT Architecture. The Hawthorn Hood clients (a couple of professionals with primary school aged twins) approached our studio to design a renovation-extension for a house that they occupied in a neighbouring suburb. It became apparent, through early investigations, that the resultant design would likely be heavily compromised due to a number of inherent limitations in the house and site; the most significant being the solar orientation of the allotment.

Wattletree House is a project designed by Design by AD. Sitting stealthy behind the original heritage home, Wattletree House expands its presence through a newly defined footprint. Ensuring the original Edwardian era frontage remains the focus from approach, the addition is cloaked in a darked palette to emphasise its recessive intent, yet still has a unique boldness. In an honouring of the established nature and scale of homes in the area, the preservation of heritage was a key driver throughout, opting to celebrate the differences between old and new by way of contrast, instead of mimicking styles throughout.

Hope House is a project designed by Design by AD. Located in West Footscray, Hope House, blends a rich connection to its heritage past with a future-focussed approach its expansion. Emerging as a balanced blend of legacy and lightness, the proposal bridges the gap between the two eras of the home, emphasising a consistency and sense of flow throughout the home in its entirety. The newly expanded and generous family home draws inspiration from the existing details and crafted elements, extending the overall building form outward into the rear of the site, while still integrating an homage to the past through the new gestures.

The Uncommon Ranch is a project designed by design with FRANK, a Sustainable Farm Dwelling built in 7 days!. For many, COVID-19 served as a catalyst to reconsider our relationships with our homes. Michelle and Christian took a bold step, transitioning from Chicago’s urban life to Grayling, Michigan’s forest dunes. Christian inherited property there, and over the years, the couple expanded their holdings by an impressive 200 acres—their vision: The Uncommon Ranch. Photography by Chloe Fan, Gabriel Munnich.
A single-family home being built on a beautiful large plot in Tomaszow Mazowiecki. The house is being constructed next to the current home of the investor and is intended to replace it. The first phase of the investment was a multi-station garage, which, due to a significant difference in the terrain’s elevation, was proposed by us to be built underground. This solution allowed hiding its large volume, thereby minimally interfering with the landscape and enhancing privacy. Photography by KUOO TAMIZO ARCHITECTS.
