In creating this domestic sanctuary flourished with light, we pursue an inner-city escape for a growing family.
The new ground level with modern and industrial dialogue is detailed with a black nail strip exterior. We try to capture a lively outdoor feel interiorly. Integrating natural light where possible captures that organic flow.
Creating a new textile workspace, seating nooks along with the kitchen, the living-dining space sprawling into the outdoor, the renovation provided a new lifestyle that harmoniously connects the generous living environments. Interiors by IF Architecture provided a seamless pallet across the home.

Evan Kamvissis Architecture is a boutique firm driven by creativity, culture, and context. Underpinned by these guiding principles, Evan designs homes that draw on their natural and urban surroundings yet intimately reflect the lives of the people within them.
COLLABORATIVE, CONSIDERED DESIGN
Design has always been an integral part of Evan’s life. Growing up in the country, he experienced a humble upbringing framed by inspiring architecture, living in a home designed around the sun — by an architect he admired, respected, and would later work alongside. This light and love-filled house in rural Victoria became a space of joy, play, and freedom to explore his creativity — the beginning of his adoration for design and its intrinsic relationship with the people who interact with it.
WHEN BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS COLLIDE
Evan works with nature’s elements to enhance the built form. Every detail is considered — from the way the light falls, the reflections and shadows it casts, to how the materials absorb or distribute warmth, to the delicate relationship between manmade buildings and the natural environment beyond their walls. To Evan, great architecture is about balance. It’s about relationships. It’s about the people who live, work, and flourish within the spaces he designs.
