A preview at the latest renders of the new Brighton Residence being design for a client and their family in Brighton. This will be a particularly interesting project to follow due to the unique shape of the triangular block of land the house is set to be built on.

Through designing the Enkei Table, we embraced the more challenging aspects of designing a piece of furniture from scratch and created a very special piece for some very special clients. When making a round table from timber, it’s not as easy as glueing together sheets or blocks of timber together and cutting it in a circle. We worked closely with the guys at Charles Sanford Woodturning who were able to bring together hundreds of wedges with a mirrored grain direction into a large circle, which was then turned by Charles himself. We then, entrusted the remarkable timber creations to Ray at Hawthorne Furniture Polishers to achieve a look that is not only technically difficult but artistic too. Click through to see the process and a video of the woodturning!

We are excited to finally share images of a recently completed beachfront project of ours that we have been working on for a number of years, the Point Nepean Residence. The house, built from imported Travertine and clad with sustainably sourced teak, looks out over the thick native flora to Portsea Pier and Port Phillip Bay.

In our third instalment of the ‘Meet the Team’ segment, we are delighted to introduce Scott McPherson; part man, part legend, all architect.

The Hopetoun Road Residence was designed for a prominent Melbourne photographer with a passion for entertaining. With this in mind, B.E designed a series of custom lights to illuminate the large concrete dining table (also designed by us) and feature as part of the many occasions held in the dining room thereafter.

Behind a tall fence and construction barriers, construction is well underway on the Malvern Road Residence in Toorak. The restoration of the beautiful period home will include the addition of an extension to the house, which is to be built from Bluestone which will sit quietly with the earthy, pressed red bricks that were discovered under layers of black paint while the building was being stripped back.

When a project calls for a very particular component be it furniture, joinery, lighting, anything – because each project is unique and what you need isn’t always available on the market at any given time, more often than not it requires said item to be custom made and so we make things. This concrete table is one of those things we made.

Affectionately known around the office as D-Man (well actually he’s not but it’s a nickname we’re hoping catches on soon), we’re proud to introduce Associate Director Duncan McLeary. Duncan is one of the longest-serving employees at B.E Architecture and has been with us over 20 years; one might even say he’s part of the furniture…
