Elphin House is a project designed by Bryant Alsop. Sitting on a substantial block in the leafy eastern suburbs, this Victorian weatherboard home had seen better days. The Owners approached us to both renew and restore the heritage home, and extend the house to create a generous family abode that they could enjoy while also maximising the property’s future value.

Courtyard House 2 by Elaine Richardson Architect was the middle Victorian terrace in a row of 8. We had no available light on either side, with the only real available light coming from the rear. This project was an exploration of how we could bring light into the living areas. The location is also very dense which created issues of overshadowing neighbouring blocks. We packed a lot into the available footprint. Photography by Florian Groehn.
The Copper Harbor house designed by Prentiss + Balance + Wickline is perched on the shore of Lake Superior, nestled in a forested lot on the edge of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

In the heart of Gavinana, a historic district of Florence, Italy, at the head of a building from the Seventies, hides an apartment that has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis.
The new owners C. and D., one an engineer, the other a university lecturer, were captivated by the apartment’s location and brightness – exposed on three sides to the East, West, and South – as well as its tranquility, ensured by the extensive communal garden shared with other units in the building, which visually and acoustically shields it from city traffic. The apartment’s 100 square meters indoors are suitable to accommodate a family of two adults and their little daughter. Photography by Cristina Massimino.
Ellen Browning Condos is a project designed by Studio Garrison. Located in the bustling Richmond neighborhood in southeast Portland, the first floor includes a community space with areas for retail and restaurants, as well as a private art gallery lobby for the residents. Our interiors highlight the building’s use of cross-laminated timber structure, resulting in great scale and volume. The overall design intent was European-inspired and the programming included a private game/bourbon room, chef’s kitchen and full-catering kitchen, massage rooms, fitness center, indoor pool, and wine lockers. The residential units have a fresh blend of clean lines and luxury throughout. Photography by Venjhamin Reyes.
Glenmorgan House is a project designed by Bryant Alsop. What was a tired and dark timber Californian Bungalow now sparkles from the leafy street. A typical free-standing timber period home on roughly 420sqm faced south and as a result was dark and introspective. Our design response was to turn the house back on itself, and build across the rear boundary thus creating two inner garden spaces. A low level, timber lined and glazed ‘hall’ creates a link between the period house and the new lofty, north facing addition. Photography by Dylan James.
