There were multiple challenges posed throughout the process, with an iterative brief that kept morphing into newer challenges and opportunities.  The clients run a family farm and live in The Mallee, north-western Victoria, however work brings them regularly to their Melbourne crash pad. With children in boarding school, extended family and friends also needing to be accommodated, the house needed a multi-modal solution.


This project represents a shared vision brought to life by our dedicated team. We respectfully acknowledge the Bunurong people, also known as the Boonwurrung people, traditional custodians of this land, whose enduring care and connection continue to inspire our work.
