The Christmas House is a refurbishment of a turn of the century house built by Ted Christmas. The use of colour focuses on the earthy tones of the period, reinstated throughout the house and to the facade.

The Christmas House

Fraher & Findlay worked with the client to secure planning to convert the two flats into three separate units. This was particularly challenging due to the corner aspect of the site – meaning that there could be no extension elements to the building.

The Christmas House

The original building was designed by Ted Christmas in the 1920’s with a strong focus on arts and crafts detailing and the use of texture. The building fabric was upgraded throughout, with each of the flats designed to marry the remaining period features of the properties with urban city living. Colour has been used extensively throughout, drawing influence from the red brick and the traditional green coloured frames from surrounding buildings of the period.

Office in Black Box Office / ALLENKAUFMANN

When closed the Office in a Black Box is a still presence and when open it takes an animated character. Light reflects and refracts off the brass L profiles and we can already see some patina from our hands meeting the brass.

Our Longchamp project developed from the desire for a usable outdoor living space as a complementary extension to the existing home while maximizing the experiences possible at the site.

Elsternwick Two-Storey Addition / Modscape

Utilising modern construction techniques, this Elsternwick two-storey addition to the rear of a mid-century home is sympathetic to its origins, but unashamedly modern, fulfilling the needs for a growing family.

Lookout House, California / Faulkner Architects

The building site had a significant influence on the design for the Lookout House. Layered with intense geologic history at the base of a three-million-year-old volcano, the site is a north-facing 20-degree slope with equal parts refuge and prospect at 6,300 feet above mean sea level.
