Light pours in from above, softening every surface it touches.

Twin skylights wash this Hope House bathroom in gentle daylight, highlighting the rhythm of white finger tiles that wrap the walls from floor to ceiling. A floating oak vanity anchors the room beneath a solid stone top, paired with bronze wall sconces, a timber framed mirror and aged brass tapware that will soften beautifully over time.

Terrazzo style flooring flows seamlessly into the frameless shower, keeping the space open, calm and easy to live with. A considered West Footscray renovation where natural light and honest materials do the talking.

A kitchen shaped by stone, timber and quiet confidence.

At Hope House in West Footscray, a sculptural natural stone island takes centre stage, its waterfall edges flowing down to meet polished concrete floors. Floor to ceiling oak joinery conceals storage and integrated appliances, while a stone splashback, aged brass tapware and a slender linear pendant add refined, understated detail.

The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining zone, where a sage leather banquette, black bentwood chairs and soft globe pendants create a relaxed place to gather. A Melbourne family home that balances heritage character with warm, contemporary living.

Texture takes the lead in this calm, light filled bathroom.

At Hope House in West Footscray, a honed natural stone benchtop sits above warm timber cabinetry, finished with aged brass tapware for a look that feels grounded and quietly luxurious. Vertical tiling draws the eye upward, while soft daylight and a touch of greenery keep the space feeling fresh and balanced.

Each finish was chosen to create a bathroom that feels like a retreat yet works for everyday life. It’s a Melbourne renovation that honours the home’s heritage character while bringing in clean, contemporary detail.

LAMBERT HOUSE | RICHMOND

A considered response to a compact inner-city corner site.

A sculptural form of pale brickwork, textured concrete and galvanised steel. Strong, monolithic forms are softened by cascading greenery, landscaped courtyards and carefully framed openings.

A home designed to balance privacy, natural light and connection to the outdoors, while creating a bold yet restrained presence within the Richmond streetscape.

An exciting opportunity for a builder or developer to bring this design to life.

This bedroom and bathroom pairing leans into soft natural light and warm timber, grounded by a stone wall that adds texture without losing the calm. Layered curtains and generous glazing frame the rural outlook, giving the space privacy when it’s needed and openness when it’s not. It’s designed around the rhythm of the everyday, slow to start and even slower to wind down.
