Buildings grow and evolve with time. It is important that a building engages with the landscape, and that the two are viewed in unison. Similarly, much attention is given to interior spaces and as such we offer a specialised interior design service with the expertise to offer full interior design services.
Bryant Alsop offer a highly-personalised approach, based around developing strong working relationships with our clients. We believe that a collaborative approach is necessary for successful design results that speak both of the client’s desires, our architectural ideas and the project context.

Located on a challenging corner site, Randolph House by Bryant Alsop is a clever 2-storey addition to an attached Victorian cottage. Designed to respect strict heritage requirements, the project maximizes space and natural light on a small urban block. Consequently, the final result is an airy, light-filled residence that meets the needs of a growing young family, while also enhancing the broader streetscape.

The design was lead by the Edwardian character of the original Elgin house and it was important that the new addition carried through this sensibility. The owners were wanting to create a relaxed family home, that both spoke of their life in Australia but also reflected back to time spent living in the UK.
This old Victorian style house now has been given a new life as a contemporary family home that embraces and celebrates its past and future. This boom-time terrace in Melbourne’s inner north under-took a significant overhaul as the internal spaces were opened up to create connection and flow throughout an a previously internal and dark Victorian interior.
