It is for this condition that the house is designed as two perpendicular volumes covering the maximum width of the site.

Eddie is a terrace renovation, built on a small 140sqm site in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North. Our brief asked for an improved three-bedroom, one bathroom home. As is common with old terraces, they sought more natural light, better airflow, and privacy. They also wished for a garden; a green oasis that would provide peace.

Located in the inner north-east of Brisbane, Ascot is a diverse neighbourhood with a strong tradition of Queenslander architecture. The unique brief for this project called for the relocation of the original 1912 Ascotian Queenslander to allow for a tennis court to be tucked into the rear. Later, less considerate additions have been removed.
