We were approached by young professional clients to upgrade and extend their 1950s weatherboard house close to the waterfront. Their desire to achieve an environmentally sound sensitive building for their expanding family was challenged by their almost inaccessible site. The resulting building form, composed of separately identifiable elements, has provided the sunlight and views they sought while creating a beautiful living mechanism.

The satisfaction of the project was made greater by the opportunity to design bespoke furniture.

About the
Professional

Studio Ilk takes an inclusive and collaborative approach to design. We listen deeply to produce truly unique responses to each project, site and client. Adapting not only to the intricacies of each new site, but also seeking to understand the people behind the brief.

We continually evolve the way we work, informed by people, place and the greater societal context in which we practice, always seeking to respect and foster local values and craftsmanship, so that the result is functional and enduring solutions that enrich daily life for our clients, whether residential or commercial.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
