Ever thought of living in a suburban area without compromising on lifestyle? Our South Hobart project is carefully designed within a bush setting, blending modern architecture with nature.

Vaulted double-height ceilings and high windows create a forest-like experience with light-filled, contemporary living.

Framing in progress on a steep site

Designing for a challenging slope demands close collaboration between architectural vision and structural strategy. Split levels, stepped foundations, and efficient space planning all come into play.

Great to see the framing take shape on site!

Completed in 2023, this small café in Hobart’s CBD showcases clever design within the constraints of existing building services. We seamlessly integrated a compact commercial kitchen to serve this charming space. The café features a bright, naturally lit interior, offering a welcoming atmosphere with a private corner for relaxation. The clean, modern design emphasizes a fresh and open layout, blending the kitchen and coffee bar into a cohesive, inviting experience for customers.

Designing a home overlooking the serene Derwent River for our client, C K Hill Builders, was truly a dream come true.

One of the most crucial aspects of this riverfront project was maximizing the breathtaking river views. To achieve this, we incorporated a fully glazed façade, which seamlessly brings the tranquil river landscape into the living spaces.

Elevating the first floor not only enhances the views but also creates ample space for an ancillary dwelling beneath the main house. This thoughtful design makes the most of the land’s natural topography, using terraces and landscape features to both maximize the view and optimize land use. The result is a home that offers both a stunning visual connection to the river and functional living spaces, ensuring a perfect blend of beauty and practicality.

The newly completed home in the New Town project has been styled to perfection, blending modern aesthetics with functionality.

This is the first look at the space, unseen even by the owner. Featuring sleek cabinetry and an open-plan layout, the design fosters a sense of warmth and sophistication. Natural light floods the room, highlighting the carefully curated decor, while the seamless transition between kitchen and living areas creates a harmonious flow ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
