Borrowed space is a common theme in our urban projects. We work hard to make spaces feel generous even when projects are modest and contained. The laundry is located in the cupboard in the main bathroom at Ayr House. It becomes a generous wash room in which circulation is shared between bathroom and laundry functions.

Ayr House is a small footprint home in the inner west of Melbourne, designed for entertaining. The kitchen is entirely functional, yet considered in its composition, and to be enjoyed. The kitchen island also doubles as the meals table and the central place to congregate. Functional storage is consolidated along the rear wall. The joinery along the length of the space is intentionally kept low and connects the room as one space for living.

Barkly House is a home tailored for our dear friends, Alice and Antony.

Our earliest conceptual vision for the project was adopting playful characteristics of a 1970’s home; celebrating changes in levels, defined zoning, and entertaining planned around the ‘conversation pit’.

The sunken lounge is flanked by kitchen to the west and dining to the east.

The checkerboard floor plan balances function and flow: a south-facing kitchen and dining area seamlessly connect to the rear yard, while the north-facing lounge invites solar access and openness.

Designed to embrace its south-facing outlook, the home frames select views.

A big thank you to @vogueliving and @lindyl_ for the feature this week.
