Small (Pettit) footprint. Big personality

Narrow frontage, expansive living – a constrained street width opens into generous internal volumes.

Tight envelope, generous amenity – efficient planning delivers comfort without compromise.

Minimal street width, maximum privacy – inward-looking design enhances seclusion and calm.

Compact massing, expressive façade – subtle shifts and materials enrich a simple built form.

Narrow site, broad experience – spatial sequencing
enhances depth and perception

Guided by our client’s vision, this front façade has been completely reimagined ✨
A new double carport, timber-look aluminium battens, and a clean 'raw' concrete landscaping edge come together to deliver a fresh, modern street presence. All whilst preserving the existing frangipani tree 🌳

Today marks two years since the initial design was first presented.

This project in Tanilba Bay is a testament to the resilience of our amazing clients — a retired couple determined to see their retirement home become a reality. What began as a seemingly straightforward heritage assessment of the existing curved random rubble dry-stone wall soon evolved into a far more complex process involving a long list (than usual) of consultants. We discovered two previous DAs had been withdrawn due to these challenges. Thankfully, our clients stood firm with us throughout the journey, and together we were able to get their project across the line.

The start was Exciting.
The end was Exhilarating.
But the 'during' was Everything!

Thank you for the hard work lads! Sorry the 'simple' plywood ceiling with expressed joints added a few layers of complexities! 😅
