When appreciating a finished product, interior, or home, one isn’t always aware of the creative problem solving that has occurred in order for things to turn out the way they did. That is to say, things aren’t always as simple as they appear to be… Such was the case when designing the custom water feature or ‘spout’ if you will, for the St Vincents Place Residence.

One of the latest projects to have been developed in our studio is the Kooyongkoot Residence for a client in Hawthorn. The project is an extensive renovation of a period home, which is being modernised to include all of the same creature comforts a contemporary, newly built would have. Due to the strict heritage overlay guidelines, the rear extension and façade has gone through many permutations to ensure its compliance and is now finally ready for construction.
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.
