Coburg Frieze is a purified design that questions what’s really needed. The interwar property was transformed into a long-term family home that celebrates lifestyle and connection to the owners’ much-loved garden. Prioritising quality over quantity, the crafted extension adds just 25sqm of meticulously considered space to our clients’ home, honouring Dieter Rams’ enduring philosophy of “less, but better”. We reprogrammed the original floorplan to marry each room with its best functional match – allowing an enhanced flow of the home, while liberating budget for the extension’s shared spaces. Though modestly proportioned, the new communal areas are smoothly functional, rich in materiality, and tailored to our clients’ passions. Shielding the house’s rear from harsh western sun, a covered deck creates a protected threshold space to encourage outdoor play and interaction with the garden. This charming home is big on the little things; creating considered spaces that have a positive effect on daily life.

For this beautiful Middle Park home, our brief was to update the main bathroom and kitchen to create a modern, functional space with a minimalist aesthetic. The clients had renovated their home 20+ years ago, so they felt an update was needed for the space to reflect their current taste and style.

A built-in study nook tucked under the stairs to make the most of this home's floor plan. With a floating timber shelf and V-groove panelling behind the desk and slimline drawers, it's a gorgeous detail in the home.
