Armadale House 2
By Mitsuori Architects
This project is a response to our client’s brief for a sympathetic new addition to a heritage home in Armadale. With a focus on longevity and durability, we were challenged to design a high-quality renovation that is well considered and makes the most of its compact site.
One of the key challenges for this project was the design of a building that retains as much of the rear garden as possible. At the ground floor an open plan living room features polished concrete floors, natural white walls, refined timber joinery and floor to ceiling glazing. A clean, natural palette of materials is used to bring texture and warmth to the space whilst still allowing our client to personalise and change its appearance over time.
A carefully crafted timber screen conceals a private upper floor master suite and terrace. Natural timber, dark zinc standing seam cladding, and bespoke window joinery are used to create a crafted architectural addition of enduring quality.

About the
Professional
Mitsuori Architects is a design led practice focused on the creation of enduring and innovative architecture that is uniquely reflective of its place, environment and the people that inhabit it.
Founded in 2008 by Matthew Murfett & Melissa Lim, our practice directors bring together large-scale project experience and technical expertise with the personalised service and attention to detail of a small boutique design practice. Both have worked with world renowned architectural practices on major cultural, commercial, residential and interior design projects in Australia, UK, Europe and the USA. Their departure from iconic city scale projects was inspired by a desire to explore the craft of architecture on a personal scale, and create buildings that are respectful of the past, reflective of the present and robust for the future.
At its core we believe the design process is a journey of discovery, translation and creation. Ours is a collaborative journey shared openly with our clients, design team, specialist fabricators and builders. We focus on producing well designed and executed architectural outcomes delivered by an experienced and cohesive team.
We believe environmentally and socially sustainable design are fundamental to the design of buildings and urban spaces. From the outset, these values influence site response, building orientation/configuration, selection of products, materials and technologies, and ultimately the technical resolution of structure and envelope.
At Mitsuori, we celebrate how architecture can change our experience of a place and influence how we shape our environment.
