Commerical Project

Boutique Hotel

The Reservoir

Brief: Design a distinctive brand and concept for a boutique hotel in Surry Hills, incorporating retail, public spaces, and different room types that reflect the area’s spirit.

The concept honours the layered history of Surry Hills – shaped by migration, community, and transformation. Inspired by the creek that once flowed beneath the site, it seeks to restore connection through food, culture, and shared experience.

Residential Project

MCM House
Cheltenham

Brief: The Cheltenham project involves the adaptive reuse of a mid-century home for photographer Anne Zahalka’s retirement, including a studio for her carer.

Exploring the impact of ageing and lost moments, the design respects the owner and home’s past while thoughtfully updating it for later life. Using embossing, imprinting, and geometry to nurture both past memories and new moments of reflection.

Residential Project

Warehouse
Woolloomooloo

Brief: Design a flexible home and gallery in Woolloomooloo for a family of art dealers, to accommodate family life and an extensive art collection.

The “Nature of Fog” concept explores the overlapping and merging of layers, using density, volume, and the manipulation of light to blur the line between public and private life. The design plays with stacking, voids, translucency and contrast to obscure and reveal, allowing the space to shift and adapt.
