In the beach town of Mollymook, a well-known home called Cake House has been brought back to life. Locals and surfers once used its sharp, kite-shaped roof as a landmark.

Fun Haus seeks to push preconceptions of space per person on a small 117m2 urban site in Inner City Sydney. The primary dwelling is constructed behind the existing cottage frontage and a secondary detached dwelling sits along the rear lane.
Pepper Tree Passive House is a sustainable secondary dwelling introduced to a suburban Illawarra home, designed to be nestled within the eponymous Pepper Tree’s canopy and built to the highly rigorous Passive House standard, the most sustainable building standard in the world.
Located in the middle of a bull paddock sits an off-grid home inspired by the iconic Australian Akubra hat. This inspiration came about at the first meeting with the clients on their bull farm, around 50mins southeast of Tamworth.
