Lofty Ideals

Where Tradition and Modernity Unite in Perfect Harmony
Balancing the modern tastes and traditional nostalgia of each of our clients during this project was a challenge we were keen to embrace. Traditional elements such as the pitched roof-forms with cathedral-ceilings meets modern detailing and low-carbon materials to create a bold statement.
-----
Situated on a sleepy creek in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, this home is a lesson in crafting dramatic 3D spaces punctuated by careful window placement. This approach allows our client to embrace views of the trees and sky without compromising the privacy of the home.
The bold forms of the building are a result of careful utilisation of the wedge-shaped block and a client request for a pitched roof with cathedral ceilings to the living room.
“How we move through the space is just as important as where we pause.”

ABOUT YOU
This idea and this need has been percolating in the back of your mind like a perfectly brewed coffee in one of those hip, laneway cafes with a well moustached barista - and it’s ready to serve. You’re ready.
You value design, you may be a bit fuzzy on the how and why but you know it makes a difference to the way you behave and feel - and you’re ready to harness that power.
You’re worldly, you’re “woke” to the priorities of society (even though you’re a little disdainful of that word), and since you’re about to invest in a construction project you want that investment to reflect your values of social and environmental responsibility. You’re ready for a clever design that’s centred around your unique needs and your personality.
ABOUT US
We champion the principles of sustainability and accessibility in our projects -
because we only have one planet, and everybody deserves to feel included on that planet.
“Live [in] Your Values”
This is our Why. It’s about the home, school, or workplace reflecting what’s important to them.
We believe when we live, learn, and work in a space that supports who we want to be and how we want to live,
we have more capacity for empathy, kindness, and generosity.
And who wouldn’t want a world with more of that?
