Eagle Bay House, located in the coastal south western town of Western Australia, was designed by architect Matthew Crawford in collaboration with Rosie Burton, daughter of the owners and graduate architect.
The projects sees the development of an inner city block to create a 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom home for a young urban family. The texture and warmth of the bold masonry bedroom wing is a reference to the industrial and urban site context.

Canal House is a new build home inspired by the forms of the missions in southern Arizona on a left over, irregularly shaped vacant lot along the Arizona Canal. The house opens out from the interior spaces to courtyards shaded by the geometry and layout of the design that provide additional living areas at different times of day.
Located directly adjacent to Pacific Spirit Park, the FdVA design team identified the forest setting of the neighbourhood as the driving design element. The Vancouver house is conceived as a pavilion in a park: a loose arrangement of simple, bold elements that float in a park-like atmosphere.
