Dark Horse
The play of tones establishes a subtle field of spaces that expand and contract, creating moments of generosity and intimacy.
Location
Brunswick East
Dark Horse
, a handsome creature.1423

Fifty Fifty
Partly inspired by the original 1950s home, partly by the modernist Case Study houses of the same decade. 1950s meets 1950s. About half of each. We’re talking fifty-fifty vision. That’s sharp.
Location
Murrumbeena
Fifty Fifty
, that's sharp.1229

The Kite
Inside and out, the roof rests like a canopy. Sky and foliage are ever-present. Light filters in from all sides marking the passage of a day, while overhead, triangles beget triangles, folding and multiplying against the sky like barely tethered kites.
Location
Albert Park
The Kite
, barely tethered.1552

The Summit
A curved wall of glass emulates the roof form, bending inwards to create a side courtyard. With glass and garden on all sides, the house is awash with natural light.
Location
Malvern
The Summit
, grounded and lofty.1623

Park Life
Curious neighbours slow their cars. From between the trees across a vast nature strip, a fence-like shed with a cyclops eye peers back at them. ‘Whose world is this?’ they ask.
Location
Williamstown North
Park Life
, from between the trees.1714

The Skin Job
An assemblage of generous openings, bench seats and a fireplace re-animate an otherwise ordinary red-brick façade.
Location
Hawthorn
The Skin Job
, like tears in rain.1309

Hip & Gable
A reclining hip casually slouches over the bedroom wing, while an attentive gable stands to attention over the more formal living spaces. Side by side, they are like the ears of a dog, one alert and the other playful, ready for whatever comes next.
Location
Kew East
Hip & Gable
, jaunty gables, casual hips.1523

Together Apart
Where once they shared a womb, now they share a room; twin girls needing their own space, yet wanting to stay close too.
Location

Stage Left
Stage Left is a place of anticipation and reflection; a place to gather and collect with friends and ideas, before and after a show. The prologue and the epilogue. A natural extension of the Arts Centre Melbourne experience.
