Travertine House

Toorak2022

A house is not a collection of rooms.

It is a framework for living.

/ Materiality

Material, first.

A narrow palette, left to texture, weight and light.

/ The Studio

One studio. A few projects at a time.

A small practice working on a few houses at a time, directly with each client, from first sketch to final detail. No house style. Only patience, material, and light.
