At The Arc Ascent?

Elwood Res.

Interior Design & Render Direction

Expand — full frame

Elwood’s layered streetscape set the terms. Edwardian cottages, Art Deco blocks and interwar bungalows beneath London Plane canopies. The work was to respond, not impose.

The Intent

Resolve a contemporary interior language within one of Elwood’s most historically layered postcodes, where the Edwardian and interwar grain sets an expectation of warmth and material honesty. The space needed to feel embedded in its bayside context, not imported.

Our Direction

Layout and material curation developed across render to reinforce the architecture’s ground-level warmth. Blackbutt joinery, warm-toned plaster and arched thresholds read as quiet and enduring. Every selection tested against the suburb’s particular quality of light.

East Melbourne — 30023002  ·  37.8149°S  ·  144.9760°E

East Melb.

Interior Design & Render Direction

Expand — full frame

A compact inner-city terrace resolved from within. Curved facade, native palette, marble weight, and light that earns its place in every room.

The Intent

A narrow two-storey terrace that could have stayed modest, or be asked to exceed itself. The curved facade, a quiet contemporary reading of the suburb’s Art Deco register, signals that restraint and ambition are not in conflict. Two storeys resolved as one interior sequence, each room connected by material logic rather than adjacency.

Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula — 39433943  ·  38.3422°S  ·  144.7424°E

Sorrento.

Interior Design & Render Direction

Expand — full frame

Open, airy spaces balanced with a quiet, lived-in warmth. A modern coastal retreat that feels expansive yet deeply comfortable.

The Intent

A coastal home that resists the conventions of the holiday house. No nautical references, no beach-house clichés. Instead, a residence with genuine material depth: spaces that feel lived-in from the first day and better with each passing season.

Yarra House

Interior Design & Render Direction

Expand — full frame

Anchored by reclaimed cream brick and raw concrete, opening around an off-centre courtyard that draws light deep into a two-storey, coastal-modern interior.

The Intent

Introduce the lightness and spatial generosity of coastal architecture into a dense inner-east site, where heritage setbacks and neighbouring brick structures define the perimeter. The response needed to feel deliberate, not defiant. A home that earns its place in the street.
