Auburn Residence is a project designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd. Located on a gently sloping site in a heritage-graded precinct of Hawthorn East, this project is a renovation and extension to an existing double-fronted Victorian terrace home. The original front rooms have been retained and restored, repurposed as a new master bedroom and ensuite, home office and guest bedroom, refreshed by new internal finishes and light fittings.

McCrae Bush House is a project designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd. Located on a long and sloping site along the Mornington Peninsula, the McCrae Bush house is a dwelling that was inspired by its unique surrounding context of native bushland and the close proximity of Port Phillip Bay. Located on the highest point of the site towards the rear so as to take advantage of the water and treetop views, the curved driveway approach to the building was carefully considered in the design of the building form which begins with the house appearing to nestle within the bush context then gradually becoming more dramatic and angular as one as one gets closer.

This project designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd was a modern rear extension to a New-England style home characterised by a high pitched slate roof, dormer windows and red clinker brickwork. The brief was to renovate and repurpose the existing rooms and façade and to add a new open planned kitchen/dining/living room and master bedroom at the rear as well as create a better connection to the backyard.

Located on a former farmland site in Balwyn, the Kenny Street House designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd is a unique project in that the site is a relatively large, flat site surrounded by much smaller houses in the middle of suburban Melbourne. The new house makes reference to its agricultural origins via its’ barn-like external form and its’ location towards the centre of the site, similar to the location of the original homestead.
