This single level brick veneer home is typical of 1980s suburban subdivision. The overall structure was still in good condition, but looking tired, worn out and very dark and dreary. Our clients were planning for retirement in the not-too-distant future and wanting a renovation to reflect their new empty-nester lifestyle. The immediate challenge was the work from home requirements the pandemic had planted on us all – and how to live through working from home whilst renovating.

The desired outcome was for renovations to all service areas and to give the whole house a general uplift.

The outcome is remarkable. Without structural changes we proposed renovations to bathrooms and kitchen which enhanced the existing timber-feel of the home. The spaces feel bigger, and storage areas are improved. New Australian hardwood timber flooring and choosing the right white finish has transformed the house into a light and airy home.

From site selection, feasibility studies, urban design and master planning, through all design, interior design and documentation stages for private and public sector developments, we offer total project management services, endeavouring to fully realise the client’s vision.

We are highly skilled architects with a diverse and extensive range of project experience. We have a strong focus on sustainability, accessibility and affordability and a commitment to utilising innovative construction technologies with practical deployment.

We are able to provide expertise for a vast selection of service including creative conceptual designs, feasibility studies, community consultation, and master planning. In essence, BY Projects Architecture is a design-based practice which offers innovative solutions to architectural environments. An architectural design is more than a drawing or a budget. The design of any construction must reflect the client’s aspirations as well as the community it will join. We believe in a collaborative approach to all projects and are committed to every aspect of our design, following a project with close architect consultancy and project management throughout each stage.

The project team is led by Barbara Yerondais, who strongly believes in a collaborative approach to all projects and has nearly 30 years of professional experience.

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.
