About Sheri Haby Architects
SHERI HABY Architects was formed in 2013. Based in Melbourne, we work on a range of project types from small house alterations and new bespoke houses to medium density residential, commercial and educational commissions. We are committed to delivering innovative yet pragmatic design outcomes, with a strong focus on site, materiality, affordability and sustainability.
We make architecture that is engaging and memorable. We see each project as a collaboration and our work is open to the input and feedback of clients, consultants and collaborators as part of the design review process. Through this collaborative approach our architecture has no prescribed language or style, but one that develops out of the setting and program of each particular project.
Thought is put into how the spaces are occupied with projects designed from the inside out, with an emphasis on how they respond to the landscape and external spaces to create a meaningful relationship with place. Each project evolves from a sustainable ethos, a belief in quality not quantity. We look for efficiencies and delight in the design of our buildings with an emphasis on the finer grain elements of day to day life.

Abbott St House is an Edwardian weatherboard house in Sandringham. Typical of many of the period houses in the area, a previous extension had added a room on the back incorporating main bedroom, kitchen and meals area but this space suffered the ailments of a south orientation and poor room configuration.
