From the front door to back terrace, this house feels like you're coming home. Whether you live there or not.

We have a long history with this federation house having renovated it the first time with the previous owners, with whom we restored the facade and interior, and again with the current owners, who were looking to remodel a more modern back of the house with connected kitchen, dining, patio and new pool.

“Greek architecture taught me that the column is

“Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. It is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light.”
- Louis Kahn

Louis Kahn regarded light as the “giver of all presences” and it is easy to see why. It is the architect’s role to play with light- where its absence weighs heavy on the facade of a building to the morning light that streams through a breakfast room.

We had the good fortune to work in association with Michael Suttor Architects in 2018 to bring this wonderful villa to life. Our lead architect, Michael Bell, worked closely with Michael Suttor in the early stages of his career, a relationship that continues with a shared passion for period architecture.

The stylized geometric aesthetic of the facade continues throughout the interior of the house in a seamlessly beautiful cohesion of outdoor to indoor. We wish we could show! However, the happiness of our client is our utmost priority and the interiors remain their private domain.

In pursuit of humanity in our work, we do our best to keep a sympathetic perspective in harbouring both close working relationships and in executing a timeless result.

Art Deco, also known as Deco, is a style of art that first appeared in France just before World War 1. The period combines modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials in an expression of luxury and glamour. ⁠

We’ve worked some interior magic in renovating this lovely heritage home, giving the facade a face-lift and a completely new lease of life inside.

Double tap if you were looking forward to these interior photos of the Thomas Hamel beach house in Killcare.

This project was inspired in part by Michael’s childhood home- a Pettit and Sevitt Lowline house in Melbourne, hence the exposed dark timber ceiling joists. In collaboration with Thomas Hamel, the project found a balance between modern forms and more heritage accents.
