Behind a tall fence and construction barriers, construction is well underway on the Malvern Road Residence in Toorak.

Design has begun on a new coastal project Hitchcock Avenue Residence, which is to be our first project in Barwon Heads, Victoria. The new house tucked away atop rolling white sand dunes and among luscious tea trees, will feature natural building materials reflective of the surrounding environment.
