Homes and developments shaped by their site, brief and the realities of delivery.

60CRS - Silvan

Category: Extension / Renovation

A large-scale extension and renovation on a rural Silvan property, expanding the existing home with a significant new footprint alongside an integrated pool and shed. A project of this scale calls for construction-informed design from the earliest stages, balancing a bold architectural addition with the practical realities of building on a large rural site.

810MHR Ringwood

Category: Mixed Use Development

A prominent gateway site reimagined as a vibrant mixed-use precinct bringing together residential apartments, ground-floor retail, co-working space and extensive communal amenity. Gently articulated tower forms soften scale while framing views to the Dandenong Ranges, prioritising pedestrian activation and public transport connection — demonstrating that higher-density living can be genuinely people-focused.

22KSHE — Hampton East

Category: Multi Residential Development

A renewal of an ageing six-unit site into a higher-density community of fourteen dwellings, balancing architectural quality with feasibility. Smart massing and cost-effective construction strategies maximise yield without compromising comfort or character, while a cohesive material language unifies upgraded existing units with new dwellings — delivering a future-focused residential offering grounded in both lifestyle and investment performance.
