A little insight into our process.

All of our projects start with sketches. There is something about putting pen to paper that digital tools can’t quite replicate.

Before the plans, models and renders, there are sketches. Hundreds of them.

Quick ideas, design explorations and problem solving on paper remain an important part of our design process.

Bathroom details from House 12 - Swanboune.

The subtle concave feature tile creates texture and movement across the wall, balanced by the warmth of walnut joinery.

Solar study of one of our City Beach projects!

Understanding how sunlight moves across a site is a fundamental part of our design process. It helps us position living spaces, outdoor areas and openings to maximise natural light, improve comfort and reduce reliance on mechanical heating and cooling.

Afternoons on site.

We love the textural depth and warmth of the rammed limestone. This afternoon’s light beautifully showcases the richness of the material.

House 12, Swanbourne.

Designed around passive design principles, this home maximises natural light, ventilation and connection to the outdoors. A highly insulated envelope, double glazing and carefully considered shading work together to create a comfortable and energy efficient home year round.

A calm palette of natural materials brings warmth and texture throughout the interior, while generous openings connect the living spaces to the outdoors.

Details from our Old Corner Store project in Subiaco.

Preserving the character of the original building was central to the restoration. Existing skirtings and cornices were carefully matched to the remaining 1920s details, while brushed brass hardware was introduced to sit comfortably alongside the existing character of the home.

A key part of the restoration was the reinstatement of the original bullnose verandah, bringing back an important feature that had been lost over time.

This project went on to receive the Margaret Pitt Morison Award for Heritage Architecture at the Western Australian Architecture Awards.

Sunset at House 40, City Beach. Designed as a protected outdoor room, the upper terrace captures ocean views while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. The bar frames the sunset beautifully at this time of year.

Perfect for Friday drinks!

Courtyards are a recurring element across our work.

They create private outdoor spaces that draw the focus inward, bringing light, air, and calm to the centre of the home. Designed for the Western Australian climate, they provide shelter from prevailing winds while opening to winter sun, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.

Bathroom details from our West Leederville project.

Designed to feel calm and considered, this bathroom pairs a refined palette of materials with practical storage solutions. Mirrored cabinetry keeps everyday essentials tucked away while maintaining a clean and minimal aesthetic.
