Alts + adds to a ten-terrace row in Surry Hills. We love so many of the proposed moves to the original residences that retain heritage features whilst improving amenity – but we’re most excited about the new rear elevation inclusive of a sculptural podium that slides under and in-between four new laneway dwellings. We have designed these around existing landscaping to provide character to an overlooked laneway and articulate a new face to the adjacent parkland

Multi-residential
(in construction)

A rework and restoration of thirteen apartments that form a classic art deco building in Bondi. New works for this Class 2 building include individual entrance lobbies with terrazzo inlays and reconfigured spaces detailed to pay homage to deco through mosaics and trim. Our scope also involves the coordination of services new/old and façade works to bring the building back to life

Commercial

First built as a grocer with shop-top housing and later used as a printing studio, a mechanic, an art gallery and a pastry kitchen somewhere in-between—our works here have been restorative. Plaster cut from walls, recycled rubber poured against recently exposed brick, new lighting, new roofing, new paintwork and original trussing exposed throughout. What stands now is a warm heritage shell that reminds us of its time under the sun⁣

Hospitality

S’WICH Surry Hills is defined by and elevated through colour and shape. Tactile interiors pull you through sculptural moments that saturate walls, floors and ceilings in duotone. It’s part bar, part bistro – and a lot of fun

Hospitality

For this one we focused on colour and reflection to create a simple, refined interior from a quirky art-deco shell. A palette of warm browns and soft yellows draws inspiration from the natural landscapes of Australia and Southeast Asia. Vintage chrome fixtures adorn walls and ceilings to add intrigue and layer surfaces with afternoon light

Commercial

Originally constructed as a factory for metal lathes and machines – Brackenbury & Austin stands today as the sum of its histories with works both unique and restorative throughout. Coated steel and salvaged hardwood support structures new and old, with pigmented floors and linings of cork and ply enveloping within
