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.

“After finding a perfect block for our family beach house at Portsea we then had to decide on how we wanted the house to present. After finding ‘the look’ that we loved we were led to Mitsuori - Matt, Melissa and their team - to put it all together. The brief was for a ‘Wow factor’ house with simple lines, lots of glass, concrete and timber, plus a coastal feel and suitable for a multi-generational family. We believe we have achieved all this and more. Through the design and then documentation process Matt listened, answered all our queries and then followed through with a minimum of fuss - even recommending our builder, Paul, with whom we worked happily through the whole project. The build came in exactly on budget with only a couple of cost extras which were anticipated and costed early in the process. We have achieved a fabulous, stylish family beach house and would be more than happy to use and recommend Matt, Melissa and the Mitsuori team to do it all again.”
