When change occurs in a physical form, structure, or character, we call it metamorphosis. When it happens to an existing Canberra home in a quiet, leafy street of Duffy, we call it Meta-Morphology. A double-height void is the focal point of this contemporary family home in Duffy, Canberra. The owner's love of colour creates delight within.
