12th April 2012 Stage 1 Works have started on site today for a renovation project in Northcote. This preliminary stage is a small intervention that will open up and connect an existing Californian Bungalow with an existing rear contemporary extension.
11th April 2012 We've recieved two new residential commissions this week. One is for a proposed rear, upper storey extension to a lovely double fronted Victorian house in Northcote which is just around the corner from our studio. The other, located in East Brunswick is a project we initially undertook a schematic design on back in 2008. It will be quite interesting for us to revisit this project with a revised brief.
11th April 2012 Site works to our Thornbury project started today. Having been on site today three hours after the demolition team started, it was impressive to see the extent of demolition that has already taken place.
28th March 2012 Construction works on the Warrandyte Project are progressing well, including some tricky manoeuvring of rockwork on a steep site. Framing is up and the installation of the beautiful copper cladding is currently underway.
4th March 2012 Schematic design is currently underway for interesting new residential projects in North Fitzroy & another local project in Northcote.
29th February 2012 Northcote Extension & Renovation Planning approval has just been granted for this double storey residential extension and renovation.

8th February 2012 Thornbury Extension to a Californian Bungalow A builder has been appointed with construction works scheduled to begin late March 2012. This project is informed by an intent to maximise natural light to a south facing extension, while strategically extending the rear of the existing house to mesh with the existing house. A double glazed outlook will maximise a lage yard outlook, while minimising overlooking from neighbouring flats. The new works comprise the replacement of a rear toilet and laundry area with a new kitchen, living , dining, laundry and main bedroom with ensuite. The existing house is to be reconfigured to provide a new larger bathroom, study and reconfigured 3rd bedroom. The finished house will utilise salvaged materials from the demolition works as well as sourced salvaged materials from other buildings.
January 2012 Warrandyte Extension & Renovation Stage 1 Works have begun on site, comprising an extension of the family room, refurbishment of a rumpus room including oak flooring, large new window and bifold door openings, with new laundry, bathroom and living area. Poolside and exterior works comprise spotted gum decking, a fanning pergola, stone paving, retaining walls, frameless glass pool fencing and reed screening.
